Polygon has secured a few new details about co-op play in 1001 Spikes.
Up to four people can join in on the fun. A total of 1,000 lives are available in a collective pool, though that number can be increased by obtaining relics in some stages. Nabbing one of these will increase the lives total by 50.
Polygon also confirms that friendly fire is enabled.
As far as the gameplay itself goes, you’ll be in search of a key which must be obtained in order to exit levels.
The iOS title Oceanhorn is almost set for release. However, quite a bit of the gameplay seems reminiscent of Zelda. The game comes with dungeons, “skulltula”-style collectibles, chests with items, grass to cut, pots to throw, and more.
Despite the similarities between the two, perhaps Oceanhorn won’t turn out so bad. At the very least, it has some top-notch talent on board in the music department – Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu and Mana/Saga composer Kenji Ito.
3DS users should keep something in mind about the system’s upcoming firmware update. According to an official page on Nintendo of Europe’s site, owners will be unable to change regions and use multiple currencies after they’ve registered a Nintendo Network ID.
The official notice reads:
After registering a Nintendo Network ID, you will be unable to change regions and use multiple currencies – for instance, pounds and euros – in Nintendo eShop. The funds in the currency that corresponds to the country setting of your Nintendo Network ID will remain, and any funds in other currencies will be deleted and no longer usable. Please make sure to use up any other currencies before registering a Nintendo Network ID to your Nintendo 3DS system.
