GR-UK writes: "There is a famous novel by Isaac Asimov entitled Fantastic Voyage, from which was drawn a huge number of screenplays, including Joe Dante's Innerspace. Even The Simpsons made a Halloween episode about it, while Seth McFarlane took inspiration from it to send Stewie Griffin in his father's gonads.
Neither is the world of video games new to this type of narrative. Games like MicroBot or Nucleus enacted the journey into the human body. Even the old Dr. Mario puzzler is a take on the epidemic control.
Nano Assault EX, therefore, is not a very original game. But the idea has been well crafted on the Nintendo 3DS. We control a spaceship that has to clean up some cells infected with bacteria and viruses by zapping them with a laser beam."
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.
