"The concept of an enhanced version might add undue pressure that the game has its ideas fulfilled to an unfaltering degree, but because in this particular case, Nano Assault might not have followed through on all its initial promises, one can only conclude that a slight upgrade would be a positive step forward. The question is, how much re-shaping has been done, and has it been to the extent of ensuring the game delivers in a full capacity?" -- Wiiloveit.com
Releasing this week in the Nintendo eShop is the long awaited Pure Chess for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U as well as Castlevania from Konami for Wii U Virtual Console and Devil World from Nintendo for Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console.
Glacier928: "Shin’en Multimedia, a developer that has brought us recent titles such as Nano Assault Neo, Jett Rocket and FAST, is no stranger to Nintendo platforms. I first took notice to them during the GBA’s launch with Iridion 3D, which had mind blowing visuals at the time and a killer soundtrack. We reached out to them to ask a few questions and they’ve taken the time to provide us an interview. Shin’en’s Manfred Linzner shares his thoughts and experiences on developing for the 3DS, WiiWare and Wii U."
"But they're liars! Heathens! Blasphemers!"
They also seemingly have extensive knowledge of the hardware and have successfully made one of their games look and perform better on Wii U.
"*puts fingers in ears* LA LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!"
Look, I'm not saying the Wii U will match up to PS4 level specs, but if I hear one more person try to claim it's weaker than the 360 without any real proof, I'll tear my hair out.
And yet again, anything that says something positive about Wii U is largely ignored.
Insomniac: Never developed on a Nintendo system, ever, word taken as factual.
Shin'en: Proven devs of Nintendo platforms, word is ignored or is called a lie.
"Shin'en is perhaps best known for making exceptionally pretty, but rather dull, games for Nintendo consoles. It continues that fine tradition with Nano Assault EX, which is at once an exceptional technical showcase for its host hardware and a twin-stick shooter missing a stick. You can see why the latter might be a problem.", writes ONM.
