Nintendo Download (2/11, Europe)
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
This week on Nintendo DSiWare, there is a host of games to test your motor skills and challenge your brain. The colourful, high-octane action of Shantae: Risky’s RevengeTM will see you guiding a “half-genie” through outlandish and enchanting environments in your quest to save Sequin Land.
101 Dolphin Pets allows you to adopt and care for your own virtual pet dolphin, while Model Academy will enable you to advance from being the girl next door to a popular top model. And last but certainly not least this Friday on Nintendo DSiWare this week, Hip Hop King: Rytmik Edition gives you the chance to unleash your inner musician, enabling melodic themes as well as whole songs to be composed.
Nintendo considered Nintendogs game for Wii
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
This information comes from the latest edition of Iwata Asks focusing on nintendogs + cats…
Konno: There were even ideas for animals like horses and dolphins. Some people said that horses would definitely sell well in Europe.
Iwata: So you were thinking about it, experimenting, and discussing it. Fate just wasn’t with those experiments and weren’t able to find that key element to validate them as a product.
Konno: Yes. We actually considered it for the Wii system. But it doesn’t have a microphone, so you couldn’t talk to your dog.
Iwata: Oh! So if the Wii Remote controller had a mic, there might have been a Wii version of Nintendogs?
Konno: Yeah. We might have moved forward with it.
Miyamoto: But there’s a distance between the Wii Remote and the television, so it might not have felt like you were petting your dog.
Konno: Right. We decided to consider any good ideas that might come up, but nothing ever developed.
Miyamoto: And to be honest, I didn’t feel like making a follow-up Nintendogs at the time.
Thanks to Thomas N for the tip!
