A digital artist’s CV also mentions Marvelous AQL is working on an unannounced adventure game.

Sakaguchi and a member of the Blue Dragon team share the origins of The Last Story.

FlingSmash is a mix of pinball and platfomer with motion control. As a concept, it’s clever and another way to demonstrate what Wii MotionPlus can do.

Nintendo is bundling Flingsmash with a Wii Remote Plus in Japan too, but their package is a little different from ours.

Thanks to retail leaks, we know Wii Remote Plus will be bundled with FlingSmash in North America. Nintendo’s upgraded remote has the Wii MotionPlus gyroscopic dongle built inside.

AQ Interactive de-brands Artoon and Feelplus into AQ Interactive group.

Wait, you say you haven’t heard of FlingSmash, Nintendo’s other MotionPlus game before? You have just under a different name.

Nintendo had two Wii Motion Plus games on display at E3. I’m sure you heard of a little game called Wii Sports Resort. Span Smasher, a quirky title from Artoon the makers of the Yoshi’s Island games, also supports the accessory.

Last October Nintendo of Japan held a press conference where a slew of first party Wii games not from their core franchises were unveiled. Few of these games were shown in the US press conference which led to concern that Nintendo’s international branches might pass on them.   Now, it looks like Nintendo is planning […]

I’ll leave the obligatory release date shuffling joke out, but something went very awry with the North American launch of Away: Shuffle Dungeon. First Majesco says it’s coming out in October, then it gets pushed to December at the last minute, and today Majesco sends a press release that it “shipped” to stores. Meanwhile the […]

Away: Shuffle Dungeon won't come out this summer. Surprised? After multiple delays I'm not.

Europe should get Away: Shuffle Dungeon around the same time too, if Virgin Play sticks to their schedule. North American […]

AQ Interactive should open the floodgates in regards to information on Away: Shuffle Dungeon soon. Mistwalker and Artoon’s game must be nearing completion since Virgin Play plans on releasing it in Europe this summer. Instead of waiting for information to come from Japan, I spoke to Diana Radetski Sánchez, the PR Manager at Virgin Play […]

While we’re bringing up rumors about AQ Interactive, remember that awful Xbox 360 game Vampire Rain? The one where you hunted Nightwalkers Tom Clancy style? It may have flopped, but Artoon is still plugging away at a PlayStation 3 version. Originally, Vampire Rain was a dual platform release.   Despite acidic reviews Ignition Entertainment, the […]

Remember how Away: Shuffle Dungeon and Blue Dragon Plus had unexpected Q1 2008 release windows? Mistwalker already pulled Blue Dragon Plus from the table when they changed the release date from March 2008 to 2008. Now, Away: Shuffle Dungeon is getting the same treatment. AQ Interactive announced it's release date will change from February 28 […]

The game’s hero is named Sword. He isn’t a sword, but guess what he uses to fight flaming flounders. Sword’s goal is to rescue villagers who are mysteriously dragged away from town into dungeons. Each time Sword saves a helpless visitor the village gets more vibrant. It’s a simple system with one unique twist, the […]
