With WayForward's impressive pedigree, and some tantalizing gameplay mechanics, Nintendo Life knew they could expect their DSiWare debut to be something special, and they couldn't resist tracking them down for an interview. WayForward Technologies very own Matt Bozon was kind enough to discuss his upcoming game, and what they can expect from it.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): Nintendo recently announced a June 6 launch date for the long awaited 3DS eShop, the virtual store that'll let users download a variety of games from multiple platforms.
Gaming Gauge writes:"So we recently got a look at how DS games function on the 3DS. As you can see the games are upscaled to fill the screen rather than mapped 1:1(although the option may be there). The downside to this method is that the games lose a bit a clarity, they can appear a bit blurry and fuzzy. I thought it would be interesting to make some mock up screenshots to compare how different styles are affected by the upscaling."
3DS cant even run ds games without fuzziness while the mighty NGP can run PS3 games
Just when the whole thing seems in danger of becoming a cold study in design brilliance, however, the on-screen clock comes into its own, raising the game's temperature by turning each challenge into a speed-runner's dream. Almost every activity, from falling off platforms to climbing ladders, can have a few extraneous frames of animation cut away by switching dimensions at just the right moment, slicing a few micro-seconds from your completion time and turning an otherwise cerebral challenge into a twitchy reaction test.
It's fitting, then, that an idea that revolves around shadowy dimensions should have a second game all but hidden within it, and it's a delight to discover a title that can concertina so many ideas into such a tight space.
