Thus far, Prope – founded by Sonic creator Yuji Naka – has released one title simultaneously on two Nintendo systems. That game is none other than Ivy the Kiwi?, which was released for both the Wii and DS last year. It looks like the studio is taking a similar approach with their next title. Famitsu has unveiled Tenkuu no Kishi Rodea, a brand new project for the 3DS and Wii. While you wait for details to surface, a few scans can be seen above.
How odd… It doesn’t look like there will be a live stream of the event in North America. We’ll have to rely on live blogs and tweets!
Well… I’m not sure how I feel about this. On one hand: Awesome, more Mario Galaxy! On the other hand, I really don’t feel like the levels will match up to what Nintendo has put out, and it’s a little disrespectful using someone’s technology without their permission. Ah well, I’ll have to write a feature about this sort of thing sometime!
“I think that the 3DS will outsell the PSP2, because the 3DS is new and different, while the PSP2 is likely going to be a souped up version of the old PSP. Thus, I think that 3DS will have greater success in capturing the consumer’s imagination.” – Superanalyst Michael Pachter
I honestly think the 3DS is going to sell buckets and buckets of units. I’ve heard people who’ve never played a game in their life that are excited to get their hands on the 3DS, which, while it’s not a first ever, it’s certainly more electric than any other console in recent memory.
