"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.
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.

The Nintendo 3DS is arguably one of the best platforms to experience shooters such as Nano Assault Ex. Its bite-sized formula works when you’re on the go but have a few spare minutes of downtime, plus the added dimension granted by the system should provide a new level of immersion as you blast away and dodge the incoming barrage. As a shooter in the simplistic sense it’s destined to appeal to a specific type of gamer, but after a release limited to North America the first time around, will this more widely available redux do enough to pull in a broader audience
