Pokemon Rumble World

In Famitsu’s most recent issue, the magazine caught up with Ambrella director Norio Matsumura and president Muneaki Ozawa. The two sides chatted all about the free-to-play 3DS game Pokemon Rumble World.

One of the most notable questions Famitsu asks is why the team decided to try out the F2P model. Matsumura noted that it actually happened thanks to a suggestion from Pokemon president Tsunekazu Ishihara.

Matsumura said:

Mr. Ishihara (the president of the Pokemon Company) suggested: “Let’s try out F2P.” Personally I think that refreshing controls and the nature of continuously returning to the game are concepts which suit free games very well, so I thought there was a chance of success. However, many members of the staff are against F2P games…

Matsumura continued on his comments by talking about how development didn’t progress without some resistance:

The Pokemon Company has been reveling several codes for various Toy Pokemon in Pokemon Rumble World. The newest codes to be made available are for Europe only and it is a pretty big list with 21 in total.

Once upon a time I mentioned how Comcast played a role in canceling one of our podcasts because they made Laura’s internet go away. This week, another American corporation has disrupted our regular flow of feces-like podcasting content to you, but thankfully Xcel Energy’s mishandling of my electrical power only succeeding in delaying the podcast rather than outright canceling it. It’s an exciting show though, because Laura is back in Minneapolis so we’ve recorded our first in-person show since episode 103! Here are today’s chapters:

It’s not often that we hear about improved stability for a game when Nintendo launches new firmware, but that’s exactly what happened with yesterday’s 3DS update. Version 9.7.0-25 actually addresses crashing issues with Pokemon Rumble World while playing on New 3DS units. The Pokemon Company apologized for any trouble that may have been caused, and players are advised to grab the new upgrade.

Thanks to Anthony for the tip.
