Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Just a Chat, Videos | 6 Comments
Daan (who was kind enough to join me once again!) and I talk about a few pieces of Nintendo news from this past week, including some new eShop games, Xenoblade Chronicles X Battle Presentation, Rodea’s Wii bonus, and amiibo.
As a small treat, we’ve left in my initially-botched intro. That was embarrassing!

KnapNok Games is back with the second entry in our Weekly Screenshot feature for Affordable Space Adventures. Following last week’s loading screen, we’re now focusing on the game’s variety of environments.
Here’s the image description from KnapNok:
Not everything in space has to be dark and gloomy. In Affordable Space Adventures players will also get to visit some truly wonderful landscapes. We’ve put a lot of effort into making sure that each area of the game feels clearly distinguishable from each other. The feeling of constantly exploring new areas will definitely be there throughout the entire adventure!
By the way, did you hear that Affordable Space Adventures now has a release date? The game launches on April 9!

Learn about the differences between Rodea: The Sky Soldier on Wii U, 3DS, and Wii
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 7 Comments
There’s not one, but three different versions of Rodea: The Sky Soldier. Among the Wii U, 3DS, and Wii versions, the story and foundations of stages are shared, though there are some key differences between each edition. Japanese website 4Gamer recently put up a preview of all three releases and provided information about how each one plays.
If you haven’t been keeping up with Rodea or need a quick refresh, let’s recap the core plot. “Gravity Energy” has caused everything to become mechanized in the Naga Empire, which sets out to invade the floating continent Garuda for the first time in a millennium. When this happened previously, the princess of Naga Empire entrusted her will to the robot Rodea and disappeared. A mechanic named Ion finds Rodea in some ruins (now in present day), who awakens once more. His knowledge of the old princess’ whereabouts reside deep within his memories.
With out of the way, let’s move on to gameplay details!

Next Level Games animator suggests the studio is making a Wii U game
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 32 Comments
Update: Bumped to the top. Pratezina has now removed all mentions of Wii U from his website. Hmm…
Dan Pratezina, an animator at Next Level Games, has suggested that the studio is working on a new game for Wii U.
Pratezina wrote the following on his website back in January:
After over ten years in film and television, I’m working in a gaming pipeline for the first time at Next Level Games, helping previs & animate in-engine cutscenes. Switching pipelines like this is a terrific brain-scramble, the crew is fantastic, and it’s a ton of fun being surrounded by Nintendo IP all day. It’s making me want a WiiU. Is that weird? Yes, it is. But here we are.
