Edge: One of the less explored consequences of digital distribution is the different types of narratives that it allows for. No longer must developers justify a double-digit price point with a story that takes you to the edges of the universe or the end of the world. Oceans don't necessarily have to rise, humanity no longer has to be flung out along the brink of disaster, and design teams can leave their city-sinking worms back in the kennels. For the price of a few hundred Nintendo points, audiences have different expectations, and a quirkier kind of agenda becomes possible.
In an interview with Nintendo Fans Online, Hugo Smits from Goodbye Galaxy Games has revealed that he is working on a brand new 3DS E-Shop game. It's still very unsure what this title will be, but it is happening!
"In the early months of 2010, the DSiWare service was graced with the unique title Flipper. Costing 500 Points, Goodbye Galaxy Games' debut on the service put you in control of a young boy trying to rescue his Goldfish. The game lets you not only navigate the world, but change the world in various unique ways simply by touching it. What started as merely an engine test became fairly popular, gaining a following of players on DSiWare." -- Wiiloveit.com
Engine Software has released the first set of screenshots for their upcoming Dsi title, Flipper 2. Flipper 2 is the sequel to….well, Flipper, of course, Goodbye Galaxy Games popular Dsi games involving a a valiant little boy and his goldfish–the aforementioned Flipper.
Game looks good. A while ago he said it would only be 200 points, if that's the case it's great value for money. I'd happily pay 500 or possibly 800 points for it.
