Nigoro announced La-Mulana 2 earlier today. PC has since been confirmed as the game’s only release format, though the company is most-definitely considering console versions.
This time around, La-Mulana 2 is being built on a more flexible engine, USGamer reports. As a result, it’ll be easier to bring the project to new platforms.
Designer Takumi Naramura said:
“Right now there’s not a specific plan in place, but since we originally created a game on Wii and ported to PC, this time we’ve decided to make it in a way where we could port it to any system – PS4, Xbox One, anything else.”
Shin’en has already put out one visually-impressive game on Wii U, Nano Assault Neo. The studio always has a knack of producing titles with high-quality graphics on Nintendo hardware even though some may claim that the Big N’s platforms are underpowered.
Wii U is Nintendo’s latest system to have been blasted by some as lacking in the specs department. But according to Shin’en’s Manfred Linzner, those who have trouble making “great looking” titles on the console only have themselves to blame – “it’s not a problem of the hardware,” he believes.
Arc System Works is debuting its new 3DS eShop game, Swords & Darkness, at the Tokyo Game Show. The action RPG involves knights attempting to save the kingdom of Athelstern.
Swords & Darkness features 2D side-scrolling gameplay. You’ll be able to perform a directional block with your shield, and extra chain damage can be dished out to enemies by moving above downed foes and performing downward slashes. As far as the RPG elements go, players can level up, swap out equipment and magic, and learn special moves.
It wasn’t mentioned in yesterday’s Nintendo Download report, but Cut the Rope is now available on the 3DS eShop. The game can be purchased for $9.99. Seems rather pricey given how much it costs on iOS, but the price may be worth it for some!
