Rocket Company merging with Imagineer
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Imagineer announced today that it will fully absorb Rocket Company on July 1. The Medabots copyright was initially shared between the two sides, but will now be completely held by Imagineer.
The merging decision was made because Imagineer plans to partially reduce its package software business while reconsidering the company’s strategy. They’ve seen growth within the smartphone games market, so they want to make their organization management more efficient and speed up the development of mobile titles.
Of course, Rocket Company published the Medabots games in Japan. We’ll have to see what this means for the series going forward, but hopefully there will still be a presence on Nintendo systems.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Rocket Company, the team behind the Medabots games, has a new 3DS title in the works for Imagineer known as “Escape Adventure: Ultimate Fort”. The entire experience is based on a jailbreak attraction featured in the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park, which has players using their wits and cooperate to make it out.
There’s not much information about the actual 3DS game. However, here’s what we know about the real-life attraction:
– In the attraction, players are put in a giant prison
– Different challenges along the way
– Areas are filled with all kinds of doors and rooms
– Over 100 missions
– Stages have hidden clues and gimmicks that must be solved in order to advance
– The main themes behind the Ultimate Fort attraction are maze, problem-solving, cooperation, and stamina
– Since some of the stages can take a while
The puzzles may be a little tough at times, which is why there’s an option for people to retire and leave the attraction
– The 3DS title might not be as lenient for players
Escape Adventure: Ultimate Fort launches in Japan this summer.
