– 3DS version will look very similar to the Wii game
– Each time period will have its own screen during story sequences
– Beenox says the 3D effect won’t be overblown
– 3D will be used to enhance certain moments, like heightening the thrill of 2099’s free-fall sequences
DS
– Developed by Other Ocean (Dark Void Zero)
– Side-scrolling action
– Own art style and feel
– Swap between the present and 2099 at any time to control those periods’ heroes

– Daily Bugle offices in present-day NYC and a Cyber Gaming Arena in the year 2099 are some locations
– At least two bosses not in the other versions: Rhino and Shocker

Koizumi would like to see Sunshine/Galaxy games in 3D, others as well
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, GameCube, News, Wii | 0 comments
Super Mario Land director Yoshiaki Koizumi has expressed some interest in seeing older Nintendo games in 3D. When asked if there are any titles he’d like to remake, he said:
“I guess I can’t really say one title specifically because then the world will expect us to make it and I’ll get into a whole lot of trouble!
“I can say that I really would like to see a lot of those games that use 3D worlds on 2D display just so I could see what they look like in 3D and see what kind of different experiences people would have playing through them on a 3D display. So in that sense I would love to see Sunshine and both Galaxy games presented in 3D, and a lot of the Zelda [games] would be interesting too.”
Koizumi has already seen one of his wishes fulfilled: Zelda: Ocarina of Time is already out on the 3DS, and I’m sure we’ll see more from the franchise on the system in the future. I doubt Nintendo would port the Galaxy games over, though perhaps Sunshine is a possibility.
