AckkStudios is currently working on the indie title “Two Brothers” for PC. It’s an “Action/Adventure/Role-playing/Nostalgia” title with Game Boy-like visuals, which would make it a good fit on something on the eShop.
But rather than bringing the game over to the 3DS or Wii U, creator Brian Allanson has said that he’d rather develop an original project for a Nintendo console. He wouldn’t rule out the possibility of a port though.
According to Allanson:
“I would never rule out the possibilities of porting the game to a Nintendo console, but I think I would rather create another game designed for those systems strengths.”
Guitar Hero used to be a yearly thing for Activision. But after the release of Warriors of Rock, the series went on a hiatus. Activision felt that the franchise and the music/rhythm genre overall were losing interest.
So what would it take for Guitar Hero to make a return? Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg commented on this in the latest issue of Game Informer.
Hirshberg told the magazine:
“To this day, it remains one of the most beloved brands in entertainment. Will the game make a triumphant return to game devices and culture? That really depends on our ability to re-invent it in a meaningful way. It ran out of gas profoundly, as did the entire rhythm/instrument peripheral category all at once. Those are hard-earned battle scars, and if we think we have a meaningful invention that brings it back with new reasons to engage, then we will, but not before.”
Nintendo Power has released a public preview of this month’s magazine. Titles featured include Scribblenauts Unlimited, Kirby’s Dream Collection: Special Edition, Code of Princess, and Kingdom Hearts 3D.
The issue arrives on newsstands on August 7 and has already started to reach subscribers.
