New Runner3 footage

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch eShop, Videos | 1 Comment

Runner3 was showcased during Twitch’s E3 stream this past week. For a new look at the game, watch the video below with new footage.

More: Choice Provisions, Runner3

– Game has a lush green stage
– Crescendoing music as you grab EXTRA, MEGA, and ULTRA boomboxs
– Autorun action like the previous games
– “B” button to jump
– “Y” button for kicks
– Various combinations of the D-Pad directions result in slides, ducks and trampoline jumps
– As you approach oncoming obstacles you’ll make snap judgements about what to do
– You can jump over a platform or slide under it, kick open a door or drop down to the path below, hit the right inputs on the beat
– One stage has a little rocket ship
– CommanderVideo hops onto it and rides it through the air
– Control his flight using the left stick
– Arc upwards and downwards to grab gold bars before hopping off again at the landing pad
– Game has checkpoints
– Branching paths are another new addition
– Paths have been distinguished vertically
– Jump up to get to a harder section, run straight to stay on the easier level, or the other way around
– Alternate routes wander off into the background
– Tap the “L” button to follow them
– New collectable: blue gems
– The gold bars you find along the path will contribute to your score
– The gems are only collectable once since they’ll disappear from the level after the first time you pick them up
– Use these gems to buy new costumes and accessories in an in-game shop
– One level is a spooky nighttime run over rolling sea waves
– Double jump included
– One level in “Machine World” starts on a lonely, floating platform suspended high over a factory floor
– The stage is built around the conceit of assembling itself as it goes, with platforms, obstacles, switches and springboards swinging in underneath Commander Video’s flying feet at nearly the last second
– Death counter pops up here in-between attempts
– Team is trying to add a lot of replay value
– Wants to give the feeling of a true adventure rather than a series of self-contained stages
– Hero Quests: side-quests which stop Commander Video in his tracks long enough to hear out the concerns of a friendly NPC, and then send you on a mission to help
– Redesigned retro stages feature tricky puzzle platforming in lieu of the usual auto-running

Runner3 introduces Machineland

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment

A little while back, Choice Provisions teased a new playable world in Runner3. The reveal took place today, with Machineland being announced.

Here’s what Choice Provisions shared about the new area:

“Machineland is not exactly paradise, as evidenced by the cigar-smoking smokestack Titans shown above. It’s cold, it’s smelly, and it’s polluted. As such, what better place is there for CommanderVideo and friends to spread their special brand of cheer?”

Choice Provisions also said today that Runner3 is in the “homestretch of development”. You can count on much more information in the weeks and months ahead.

Runner3 teases its new mechanical world

Posted on 7 years ago by Fernando in News, Switch eShop | 6 Comments

The official Runner3’s devlog has been updated once again with an image that teases what the new world will be about.

This time we have a picture of a cute robot, which means that after Foodland and Spookyland, the next world will probably be based on mechanical stuff. Furthermore, developer Choice Provisions want us to guess the name, so go to their site and leave a comment on what do you think the new Runner3’s world will be called.

Here’s the tease for Runner3’s new world:

Charles Martinet finishes recording lines for Runner3, here’s a preview

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment

Charles Martinet – otherwise known as the voice of Mario – voiced several lines in Runner2. For Runner3, he reprised his role as The Narrator. Martinet’s work just wrapped up this week.

Speaking about Martinet’s involvement and the story in Runner3, Choice Provisions writes on its blog:

“As you may already know, Charles Martinet very graciously agreed to return for his role of The Narrator. What you don’t know, however, is that he has quite a few more lines this time around! Like, way more!
The story of Runner3 is going to be a little more substantial than what you’ve seen in the previous Runner games. We won’t let it obstruct the gameplay, certainly, but if you’re the kind of player who’s interested in learning a little more about the wacky world of Runner3, that option will be there for you. I don’t want to tell you how to play your video game, of course, but I do highly recommend you seek out the story we’ve woven throughout the game. We’ll do a blog post soon about what that kind of pursuit would look like.”

Choice Provisions also has a preview of Martinet’s voice in Runner3. Listen to it here.

Space Dave! confirmed for Switch

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment

Space Dave!, a follow-up of sorts to Woah Dave!, was announced for Wii U and 3DS a couple of years ago. Today, publisher Choice Provisions confirmed that a Switch version is happening.

The company wrote on Twitter:

Space Dave! is officially feature complete and coming soon to a Nintendo Switch near you! pic.twitter.com/Ic8ytR8BgN
— Choice Provisions (@TotallyChoice) April 26, 2017

It’s unclear if the Wii U version is still happening at this point. On the bright side, it looks like Space Dave! isn’t too far off.

Runner3 shares details on its Hero Quests

Posted on 7 years ago by Zack in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment

One of the new gameplay elements added in the Switch exclusive Runner3 is the addition of Hero Quests. In a recent blog post, we finally get some details on what these Hero Quests actually are.

Here’s what Choice Provisions had to say:

Just like its predecessors, Runner3 is going to be a fast-paced romp through a whimsical world. This is something we never want to disrupt or get in the way of. As such, Hero Quests are a wholly optional element of the game, and they’ll never appear on the “main” path of any level. Of course, we highly suggest doing these quests, but the choice is entirely yours.
When you approach a quest giver in the game, a conversation will trigger. You’ll be assigned a quest—such as gathering ingredients to make a stargazy pie—and be sent on your merry way. Should you choose to complete this quest, you’ll be rewarded generously. We could just flat-out tell you what the rewards will be, but it feels more fun to leave it a mystery. It’s no fun if we tell you everything.
Now that I’ve talked your ear off, let’s pretend you didn’t just skip all the text in this post (this sentence included) and jump straight to the photo below. Feast your eyes on Sir Stromming, one of the quest givers in Runner3:
Doesn’t he look like a total sweetie? We’re absolutely smitten over here.
