Animal Crossing Revolution News

“Wired News : Animal Crossing is on the way for Revolution. Can you talk about features of the Revolution that you think are going to be good for the series ?

Katsuya Eguchi : Because the DS is selling so well, it’s given us a large fan base. Look at the DS version — we had to make a lot of changes in the series in order for it to suit the functionality of the system. In order to make [Animal Crossing Revolution] a game that we want to make and that the fans would be satisfied with, we’d have to make sure that it fits on the console. It can’t be a direct port, just like the DS version wasn’t a port of the GC version. We’d have to make changes if we were to move forward in that direction.”

Good news coming from the makers of the game. I cannot wait till E3. E3 is sure to be HUGE!

Thanks to Go Nintendo for the heads up!

NPR like Brain Age?

It seems as though NPR has played Nintendo’s latest craze Brain age. How did it fair? Really good actually. This series has seen tremendous success in Japan and will be released in the states soon. Brain age has really been getting great reception from everyone. Here’s the story.

Radical Entertainment Interested in Revolution

The following story is quoted from Cubed3.com:

“Radical Entertainment seem to be another developer to add to those that are diving on Revolution like rugby players on a ball. The developers, who created the Crash Bandicoot racing title Crash Tag Team Racing, are advertising for a Revolution programmer “with a penchant for pushing the envelope and a lust for 3rd person action games” on their website. They also boast that the would-be programmer would “be one of the first to work on the Nintendo’s new Revolution platform.”

Duties include implementing Revolution specific features, working with designers closely to make sure said features utilise the controller as they should. It also hinted that programmers should be able to work with “medium-to-large” projects.

The specific references to the controller hopefully show that they will be attempting to make as much use of the unique controller as possible. It is unknown what form this 3rd person action game will take, or whether it will be an existing franchise or creating an entirely new one, but we hope to have news on it as soon as possible.”

Thanks again to cubed3 for the above story. What do you guys think? I have never played CTR but reviews on the game were great if I remember correctly. E3 is only a month away! Game ON!
