Yeti Boombox working on ManderZ Quest for the Wii U eShop
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Indie developer Yeti Boom is working on “ManderZ Quest” for the Wii U eShop. The title as well as the game itself are both a work in progress.
Below is an official overview of ManderZ Quest:
Due to a glitch in a game’s code, ManderZ and her friends have found themselves trapped inside a “GamerGirl Color” handheld gaming console. It’s up to you to save them!
Playing as ManderZ, you’ll work your way through 8 crazy, classic-style levels, defeating enemies, bosses, and ultimately fixing the glitch that sent them to this strange game world.
As a tribute to the Game Boy Color, ManderZ Quest features 8-bit graphics and music. The developer is making use of the same 4-color limitations, and is using the original 160×144 screen resolution as a base. Additionally, music is being composed on and recorded from an original Game Boy DMG-01.
ManderZ Quest is early on in development, so a release date won’t be coming any time soon. However, Yeti Boom has promised that the game will be a Wii U exclusive.

Retro City Rampage has “done incredibly well” on 3DS

Vblank Entertainment seems to be pleased with Retro City Rampage’s performance on 3DS. Creator Brian Provinciano tweeted today that the game has “done incredibly well” on Nintendo’s portable.
@JonGryphon 3DS version's done incredibly well.

The comment above originated from a larger discussion about reviews:
Big reviews *DO* influence future reviews and public perception. The perception tints the glasses everyone else enters the game with.
— Brian Provinciano (@BriProv) July 2, 2014
If a game has a positive perception, new players continue to give it the benefit of the doubt if certain aspects don't grip them initially.
— Brian Provinciano (@BriProv) July 2, 2014
If a game has a negative perception, if new players do try it, they'll be quick to write it off.

Retro City Rampage made almost all of its revenue the second year. I do feel strongly that IGN's review significantly damaged the launch.
— Brian Provinciano (@BriProv) July 2, 2014
Word of mouth, and a hundred thousand players playing it on PS+ probably helped public perception overshadow IGN's influence a lot.

RCR:DX later launched to almost unanimous 9/10s. IGN never reviewed it, & in their RCR:DX coverage linked to their 5.3/10 orig RCR review.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Shovel Knight has been highly trumpeted by Nintendo since the game’s early days of development, up through release. Heck, the title is even playable at the Nintendo World store right now.
All in all, Yacht Club Games’ Nick Wozniak says Nintendo has “been really accommodating to our weird requests, and getting stuff done to see if they can promote us better.”
You can find Wozniak’s full comments about working with the Big N below.
