During a GDC Europe presentation, KnapNok Games’ Lau Korsgaard reflected on a few different topics including Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party.
Korsgaard feels that the studio succeeded with its Wii U eShop game. However, he did admit that the “Spin the Bottle” name may have been a mistake.
Korsgaard said:
“It has been really hard figuring out how to frame [the game] right. For instance, it hasn’t been received that well in the States … it has been received okay but a lot of people thought it was too naughty. Spin the Bottle in America has all the sexual subtext of people kissing each other, so I don’t think parents would let their children buy this game and play it. So I actually think maybe we shouldn’t have called it Spin the Bottle but just Bumpie’s Party or something like that.”
Yesterday, a Kickstarter launched for “Night Trap ReVamped”. Night Trap, LLC opened the campaign in hopes of bringing back the classic game in a high-definition format.
Night Trap ReVamped is planned for a bunch of platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Mac… but no release on Nintendo platforms is planned.
A console like Wii U could certainly handle Night Trap ReVamped from a technical standpoint. However, the game’s developers explained on Kickstarter that it won’t be coming to Nintendo platforms due to “bad blood” with the Big N that was created two decades ago.
