Earlier this week, Road Rash co-designer Dan Geisler said that he would take to Kickstarter for a new Road Rash if there was enough fan interest. The response was very positive to say the least.
Geisler now sounds quite eager to move ahead with a new Road Rash and is currently talking with EA about how it can happen.
Geisler told Destructoid:
“I am amazed at the level of interest in the remake. I feel this needs to happen. As to EA, I’m having discussions with my Chief Technology Officer about it now.”
It’ll be interesting to see what EA has to say about the situation!
It has taken over a decade for Nintendo to come out with a second Luigi’s Mansion game in Dark Moon. Nintendo is not, however, making the game themselves. Next Level Games is handing the primary development of the 3DS title.
Next Level Games’ Bryce Holliday recently spoke about the need to “respect the original developers and the fans” when it comes to “sequelling or bringing back a franchise”. At the same time, he acknowledged that “you can also figure out what’s different from then to now, and one of the big differences is the hardware has changed.”
“When you’re sequelling or bringing back a franchise, you need to respect the original developers and the fans of the product. But you can also figure out what’s different from then to now, and one of the big differences is the hardware has changed.”
Maybe this is why LEGO City: Undercover requires an external hard drive in order to initiate a download from the eShop.
The new Wii U game seems to take up a massive amount of space. LEGO City’s file size clocks in at 22GB or so – an unpredictably high figure.
Of course, you could always opt for the retail version of LEGO City. You won’t have to worry about hard drive space if you choose this option.
Nintendo has announced that HarmoKnight will be available on the European 3DS eShop on March 28. A demo will be released one week prior.
North American gamers can get their hands on the demo now. The full game is also due out on the US store on March 28 for $14.99.
This is about as random as you think it is:

3DS owners in North America may have received a new Swapnote from Nintendo today. If you have Pokemon Black 2, you’ll be given blue Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity stationary. Those who have played White 2 will obtain orange stationary.
Nintendo will be closing its New York offices in Park Avenue, the company has confirmed. Some employees working in the area will now move to a smaller location.
A comment provided by Nintendo of America spokesman Charlie Scibetta also states that the Direct Consumer Communications will head west as it merges with the Network Business Department in Redmond “to provide better digital offerings and services for consumers.”
“Nintendo is keeping a facility and operations in New York. The Direct Consumer Communications (DCC) team is moving to Redmond headquarters to merge with our Network Business Department (NBD) to provide better digital offerings and services for consumers. Other Nintendo staff unrelated to DCC will remain in New York in a new office location close to the Nintendo World Store.”
Here’s something you may not have known: according to Kotaku, Nintendo’s smaller New York office was mainly responsible for the behind-the-scenes workings of Club Nintendo. No need to worry about the New York changes, though – Scibetta said: “There will be no impact to consumers as a result of the move.”
