SmileBoom president Takaki Kobayashi has shared a few words about the upcoming 3DS version of Petit Computer.
This new version, according to Kobayashi, will allow users “to easily implement the stereoscopic camera, touch panel, and sensors with BASIC commands”. Ultimately, he believes it will be “possible to create 2D games in BASIC that are on the level of a Super Famicom or PlayStation game.”
Kobayashi’s words in full:
Currently, we are developing a new Petitcom (SmileBASIC) for the 3DS. This software allows you to easily implement the stereoscopic camera, touch panel, and sensors with BASIC commands, making it possible to create 2D games in BASIC that are on the level of a Super Famicom or PlayStation game. I believe that if there’s an environment allowing you to easily make games, there will be young people who will show us new ideas that no one’s ever seen before. It is our hope that young people will create something we never could have imagined.
Opposable Games’ real time tactical action title “Salvaged” is tentatively slated for Wii U. If the game reaches its funding goal on Kickstarter, then we will indeed see the indie release on the eShop.
