Does it include his wonderful pixel-art Nazi guro dickgirls cumming rainbows and puppies?

Actually, little known fact Paul has animated all our games.

Also David Hellman (Braid artist) drew the ending

god damn that interior shot looks like legend of mana; drool.

Well, for what it's worth, Nintendo doesn't allow the developer (if different from the publisher) to be noted on the front of the box.

This isn't completely true. Professor Layton has Level 5 on the front of the box. Nintendo was the publisher, right?

Nintendo always can break Nintendo's rules

Dude I gotta say, I'm very impressed with our art of DTL:TNC. Some of the stuff is simply gorgeous.

Why does Stylus have a trademark? I don't think that word is trademarked.

Level 5 published the game in Japan, so in all likelihood it is the actual owner of the game. In most cases, Nintendo does not put a game's developer on the box cover. This is an unusual case since Level 5 was a publisher as well.

i think it is.. similar to Kleenex and TiVo

That's probably because it doesn't have the "Licenced by" above the Nintendo logo like all 3rd party games do (Since it's being published by Nintendo themselves) so the normal rule of no dev on the front of the box probably doesn't apply.

That Level 5 thing was a good catch though. Forgot about that. This whole issue came to light when Gamecock talked about their experience regarding Dementium and Mushroom Men (they were upset about this weird Nintendo rule, as they don't like the developer not getting proper credit on the front of the box).

Anyways, both these Drawn to Life titles look really good. They've certainly got me interested in the first entry (will look in stores tomorrow, but eBay might win out if I can't find it). I like the directions the two developers are going with their entries, and I like that Planet Moon may have a fire under their bum to outdo the creators of the series. They're both great studios, and I hope there's some healthy competition going on. Both titles will be better for it.

As I noted above, though, Level 5 did publish this game in Japan. Nintendo marketed and distributed it in other regions, but Level 5 was the company that funded production and handled initial publishing--for all intents and purposes, it too was a publisher, so this isn't really an exception.

ds version looks cool. wii version looks atrocious.

Also David Hellman (Braid artist) drew the ending

No he's doing this game's ending (DTL:TNC)

Although you SHOULD beat DTL because the ending has some cool surprises and ties into the 2nd game

 

[jarosh]

awesome, thanks for the info. will buy day one then... but would have probably bought it anyway

i will hopefully beat the first one some day - you know i didn't stop playing it because i didn't enjoy it (i made all that metroid stuff, maybe you remember). i actually stopped - and this might sound a little odd - because i wasted way way WAY too much time drawing all the objects. and i got increasingly frustrated because i felt guilty whenever i half-assed it... but there were so many objects and i could never just focus on playing the game because i got too obsessed with drawing everything perfectly etc. :'(

Yeah, this game was hell for perfectionnists :lol

I know what I'm talking about D:

Oh wow, I never knew this. Makes perfect sense now I think about it.

 

[McBradders]

5th cell is doing the ds one, not the wii one.

+1 DS sale confirmed. You guys are fucking awesome.

 

[Phife Dawg]

Wii version is just...:lol . Will buy DS version though .

DS Version is a buy for me.
I still can't believe how bad the Wii version looks to be though, and believe me when I say that I had my expectations set pretty low...

 

[farnham]

dunno why nobody is talking about this but i just checked out some wii version vids

and i have to say it looks damn impressive... almost like klonoa (graphicswise)


anyway how was the spongebob spinoff..?

edit : oh wow i just read the thread and everybody thinks the wii version looks baad..?

I was going by the pics linked earlier:

Do you have a link to said video?

 

[batbeg]

"Why aren't you talking about the videos I won't link to?!"

Here's the first video I found. Still looks terrible to me :-/

 

[cw_sasuke]

DS Version Yay
Wii Version meh...

 

[pakkit]

Planet Moon needs to do original IPs again. Their casual output hasn't been terrible, but it's a far cry from their earlier glory days.

Battle of the Bands was terrible, though.

Really? Cool!
