The abridged version of Ivy the Kiwi? is now available on DSiWare in Europe.

Ivy the Kiwi? appears to be nonthreatening until you reach maze-like levels with mice crawling around every corner.

Xseed is releasing two games this month. Ys Seven for PSP and Ivy the Kiwi? for Wii and Nintendo DS.

“I think the most important thing when creating a game character is having a relationship between the character and the game that matches.”

While Ivy the Kiwi? was first available on Windows powered mobile phones, it’s original platform is Wii. This is one of the details Naka-san revealed in this interview.

AQ Interactive may be dropping out of the video game publishing business, but their North American subsidiary Xseed is not.

Yes, it is. Xseed is publishing Prope’s second retail game.

Xseed is Twitter teasing an announcement next week and the clues are related to birds.

Even after he left Sega, the company funded Prope and published their first two games on Wii. So, why did Yuji Naka link up with Namco Bandai?

If this were any other platformer you would move the Kiwi with the D-pad and, perhaps, jump with A. But, you can’t directly move the Kiwi in Ivy the Kiwi?.

I thought Ivy the Kiwi? would be like Kirby’s Canvas Curse, but Prope’s game, when skillfully played, is lightning fast.

Yuji Naka’s studio Prope is bringing Ivy the Kiwi? to the Wii and Nintendo DS, but Sega isn’t publishing it. Namco Bandai picked up Ivy the Kiwi? and are packaging it as a retail game.

After Let’s Tap, Yuji Naka’s studio went to work on Ivy the Kiwi?, a Kirby: Canvas Curse style adventure for Windows mobile phones… which is also coming to Wii and Nintendo DS.

We covered Naoto Ohshima. What about his fellow co-woker, Yuji Naka? After porting Let’s Tap to iPhones, Prope started working on a game for Windows phones.
