NE: "Following the game’s success on Kickstarter, Nicalis has confirmed plans to bring The 90′s Arcade Racer to Wii U. "
Josh Griffiths writes: "It’s been eight months since the last time Antonis Pelekanos provided an update for The 90’s Arcade Racer. So, we’ve dug around to find out what happened to this throwback arcade racer. What we found is somewhat conjectural, but no less disappointing.
The 90’s Arcade Racer is likely dead."
Say what? I was really looking forward to this, especially to review it. This is awful.
Hmm the developer just posted a new screenshot on twitter a few weeks ago and used the hashtags steam and 90racer.
The game really does not look dead to me.
NE: "A new gameplay video for 90’s Arcade Racer has come online showing the latest progress with AI and functioning gameplay mechanics."
Well to be fair Shenmue did have a kick starter started by sony LOL. More money faster delivery.
VVV: "We recently brought you gameplay footage of 90's Arcade Racer, a game that until recently has been very much off the radar. And now we can reveal the tracks you'll be racing around (see below).
The tracks on offer include an oval, mountain courses, an airport level and there's even a bonus track set in a kid's playroom. The tracks range in difficulty and all have their unique 90's arcade era charm with vibrant colours and surroundings."
I keep reading how this was developed by one guy. I'm assuming he hired artists and musicians and that quote just refers to the coding itself... Otherwise we're dealing with savant-levels of talent here, the game looks and sounds great.
Engine licensing in effect!
This is the Dev that said the Wii U is in trouble and Next Gen will fail, right?
Edit: Whoops. Got them mixed up with Sidhe Studios.
Roll-ing staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart!
Can't wait~
It's cool seeing Wii U's eshop become like console version of Steam.
