“I don’t think we were disapointed by it. I can’t say right now whether or not you’ll see more in this style but I know there’s creative interest in doing so.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

Mega Man 9 seemed to embody almost everything you could ask for in a classic Mega Man game. The difficulty level and style were certainly there. How many of you would like to see another Mega Man title similar to the last title we saw?

The developers of Red Steel 2 have already explained that executing the same types of actions will not be possible in their title though. For instance, the gun available in the game will not take down enemies in all situations. Red Steel 2 will also encourage further variation in the move set via rewards. Creative Director Jason Vandenberghe confirmed that there is a system in place to encourage players to mix things up when it comes to moves, but wouldn’t elaborate on the feature just yet.

“The answer is yes, of course (style/reward system).
…
What? You want to know how it works or something? Should have asked that instead!”

Take Photographs of Your Friends and Family… Even Pets, to See Them Become Customers in Your Very Own Sushi Restaurant*

Leicester – September 4, 2009 – SouthPeak Games and Asylum Entertainment have today dished out details of an exciting Nintendo DSi™-specific feature in its upcoming eat-‘em-up title, Miniclip Sushi Go-Round. By using the Nintendo DSi™ camera, players can take photographs of people, pets, objects – anything they want – then turn them into quirky customers that appear in their sushi restaurant.

This innovative aspect is thankfully a lot easier to use than a pair of chopsticks. After taking a picture, players just need to trace around the face/object and delete any unnecessary areas of the photo then save. These new customers will then pop in for some super sushi as you’re playing. Up to six pictures can be created, so you’ll never know who’s going to show up next!
