I will look closely on this one. I hope it will run smooth (close to Galaxy) and I have doubt about the camera looking at the lastest videos but all in all, it could end up great I guess.

[ZAK]

Still interesting. Does not look shitty, either.

The character designs make Jett Rocket look likable in comparison. :I

Same vid as before.

 

[BadSanta]

That looks better than most third party Wii games. Waiting for the reviews...

 

[Hero of Legend]

Remember one of the most recent NP issues said the game's due in June? Well...

GameFly says September 7th.

 

[Shiggy]

It's been delayed due to SMG2

 

[Cow Mengde]

It's been delayed due to SMG2

They were smart to do that.

 

[Shiggy]

They were smart to do that.

It was supposed to be out in January, it's great that Majesco gave them the opportunity to work on it a few months longer.

 

[Milabrega]

Smart Delay, avoids MG2 and gives them another E3 to attempt to raise product awareness. Hope it also gets an extra coat of polish and isn't just a shelf till release delay. Here's hoping the final product is actually good as well.

@Hero - Thanks I will update the OP!

It was supposed to be out in January, it's great that Majesco gave them the opportunity to work on it a few months longer.

Hopefully this is the case rather than an indictment on the small team responsible to finish the game. Not to be exceedingly negative, just that the game itself seems rather ambitious for what appears to be a handful of developers working on it.

 

[Hero of Legend]

New screens!

 

[ILikeFeet]

looks like they are using Galaxy style lighting on the character

 

[Yagharek]

Character design looks odd. Game design looks intriguing. Will definitely give this a go though, sounds like a lot of thought has gone into it.

 

[Strampas]

Man, this looks sweet.

 

[iamaustrian]

wow

I like
Wii platform-king confirmed!

 

[pakkit]

Hot.

 

[Dascu]

Looks better than Epic Mickey, to be honest.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Looks better than Epic Mickey, to be honest.

Not hard to do.

But Spector did say during that conference that "we'd be surprised how close the final game is to the art" or something.

Also:

Anyone else get a Nuts & Bolts vibe from this shot?

Edit: Maybe due to this:

 

[Cow Mengde]

They should merge with Shin'en. Their tech's not as good, and their character design is even worse, but the levels have more imagination from the look of things.

I was just thinking that the game looks like something Shin'en would make.

But is the character design

Really worse than this?

I guess it just depends on which side of the bed you wake up on. They both suck at character design, ok? Rare sucked at it too, and their old games were glorious.

Edit - Fuck, you know what, I do think Flip is the uglier character.

Yeah, nothing wrong with one liking one design and another liking the other (well, less shitty) design.

Personally I loved Rare's designs in the DK and the original Banjo series, their human designs; not so much.

 

[Vizion28]

I'm really interested in the game. It's about time more platformers are being made.

I'm curious to know what else the developers have worked on.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I've found some other shots that were actually released way back in September 15th, 2009:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/25792657@N00/sets/72157622254137443/

These two shots were on Nintendo's website as well, so I think the other shots from there were very likely from back then as well, just not shown anywhere else.

So the game potentially looks even better now! :O

Unless that dev video was from pretty recently, maybe December, still that's four months ago!

Also, I found an article about Frozen North showing the game last month at a school:

http://www.northjersey.com/news/89347057_Kids_get_sneak_peek_at_video_game.html

It includes an off-screenshot, very strangely, when you go to the page with the higher-res shot, and right-click it, it says it's protected by copyright law.

So go to the link to check it out, I don't want to rehost it or anything just in case (even though this is fucking ridiculous).

Plus I found some concept art:

The labels are at the bottom of each image.

Here's the (old) Nintendo Power preview:

Nintendo Power July Preview (Scan) (hosted on the developer's website)
Sounds pretty good.

The official website was also overhauled:

Thanks for the news.

Nice, I'll have to check this out later. Level designs like this are always interesting to get info on as far as development goes.

 

[Kyleripman]

Is anyone else still planning on getting this? I have it preordered on Amazon and I think it comes out tomorrow.

 

[Lijik]

I do, but not day one. If reviews are decent I'll probably pick it up next week, otherwise I'll wait for a b1g1 deal or for its used price to drop to the 10-20 dollar range.

 

[apana]

This game looks amazing, I heard that only about six people worked on it.

 

[OnPoint]

I totally forgot about this one. Shame I just started playing Galaxy 2... I just can't excuse picking it up right now.

 

[nincompoop]

It might've been pushed back again, a few places are listing the release date as mid-October.

[Cow Mengde]

I think it comes out tomorrow.

WTF? Really? Talk about a stealth launch. And people wonder why their Wii games don't sell.

 

[AniHawk]

Gamestop listing has it coming out on the 20th of October.

 

[Kyleripman]

I guess you could call that a stealth delay...

 

[Davey Cakes]

Better a stealth delay than a stealth release.

If this game is ANY good at all, it needs a bit more press.

We must give as much attention as possible to the 3D platforming genre, unless we want to see it slip away.

 

[Shiggy]

Will it see a European release?

 

[Shiggy]

So nobody's reporting about this title and nobody is interested in it? :/

 

[onken]

Is it just me or does this game really remind anyone else of Croc? (PS1/SAT era).

 

[Mejilan]

So nobody's reporting about this title and nobody is interested in it? :/

I'm interested. Still slated for a 10/20 release here in the US?
But before I bite, I'd like some kind of indication how this turned out.

 

[Boerseun]

Keeping an eye on this one. Love the art design, especially the main character. Always room for more classy 3D platformers.

I was going to post this, pretty funny with the record scratch.

 

[Fantastical]

That trailer is pretty cheesy... I mean, are they trying to make it look like some big cinematic game or something? :lol
