Platinum’s World Of Demons Announced

Platinum’s World Of Demons Announced

, , , , 0

Platinum Games has revealed they’ve been working for three years on translating the fast-paced, artful games they’re known for into an experience that can be recreated on cell phones. Today they unveiled the fruits of their labor, World of Demons. I’m aware that we’ve pooh-poohed mobile games several times on this site, most recently with Konami’s Castlevania announcement, but this…this is special. Imagine if there was a gamer that combined the frenetic hack-and-slash gameplay of Bayonetta with the gorgeous hand-painted watercolors of Okami. We’d play that no matter what platform it was on! You play as a samurai tasked with building an army of monsters from Japanese folklore — oni and yokai. At the time of launch you’ll be able to choose from three playable samurai and collect up to 80 monsters. The beasts you have on your side can be summoned in the game to fight for you, but you can also fight yourself. Gameplay is performed with simple swipes. Swipe toward an enemy and your character will attack;

It looks like Nintendo and DeNA are moving closer to revealing more information about their partnership and the games fans are likely to see on smartphones and tablets. According to a new financial report by DeNA boss Isao Moriyasu that has been translated into English, the company is readying to make “announcement plans”, suggesting that news could be coming sooner than many people predicted. “We cannot talk about details but we are making good progress with Nintendo,” said Moriyasu. “The plan is to bring about five games on mobile to market by the end of FY16. Our goal is to boost sales next term by releasing top-level mobile games with Nintendo globally.” Nintendo first revealed that they had teamed up with DeNA in March 2015. The announcement surprised much of the gaming media as the Japanese company had long since ignored the mobile market despite pressure from shareholders and constant demands by fans. As part of the revealing of the partnership it was also stated that DeNA would have access

With the recent investors meeting for Nintendo, a lot of details were brought to light about upcoming ventures. One of which was the partnership with DeNA to make both mobile games featuring their IP’s, and to make a new membership service to replace the now defunct Club Nintendo. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata took the stage to outline some of the finer details of what gamers can expect from this new service. “While we will announce the details of this integrated membership service at a later date, I can share with you at a high level the idea is that the consumer can access multiple devices using one common ID.” Iwata said “So far, the members input their Club Nintendo ID to use the services,” he explained. “With this new service, our members will be able to visit Nintendo’s website and log in with one ID, and they will receive various services including the ones based on their past purchases and gameplay records as well as services that will be an improved version of

According to a new report from the Japanese business news provider Sankei, Mario Kart producer Hideki Konno has been put in charge of overseeing Nintendo’s new partnership with DeNa to bring into existence those Mario mobile games every investor has been screaming for. Some mobile game makers actually pump out one game per week (and barely make a profit) but Nintendo president Satoru Iwata feels Nintendo should only commit to five, and release them sparsely over the next two years. “You may think it is a small number, but when we aim to make each title a hit, and because we want to thoroughly operate every one of them for a significant amount of time after their releases, this is not a small number at all and should demonstrate our serious commitment to the smart device business.” Iwata assured the crowd he was addressing that these games will have “strong staying power.” If he’s found a way to force that into happening, I’d like to know about it. The scenario

Though still very young in its partnership, there is a lot of hype in regards to Nintendo and DeNA’s plan to bring Nintendo IP’s onto smartphones. The potential is incredibly high, but there are questions as well. For example, how many smartphone games will Nintendo try to release in a standard year? Well, during Nintendo’s recent investors meeting, President Satoru Iwata revealed how many games we can expect on smartphones in the next fiscal year or so. “Regarding the number of the titles, you may want to know that we will release approximately five titles by the end of the next fiscal year, which is the end of March 2017,” he said. “You may think it is a small number, but when we aim to make each title a hit, and because we want to thoroughly operate every one of them for a significant amount of time after their releases, this is not a small number at all and should demonstrate our serious commitment to the smart device business.” The

Nintendo’s partnership with DeNA has surprised many, and intrigued many more. Already people are speculating about what kind of Nintendo games we can expect on mobile platforms. The other big question is, how much will these games make once they’re out in the public? The potential is there, as mobile games have been known to make people very wealthy. But goal should DeNA and Nintendo set for their upcoming mobile titles? For DeNA, they’re setting a goal that might seem rather high to some: 25 million dollars per month. Now in case you’re thinking this is a random number, it’s honestly not: “We haven’t talked to Nintendo about targets, but at DeNA, our best-selling game brought in 3 billion yen a month, and we want to surpass that,” DeNA Chief Executive Isao Moriyasu told Reuters So right there we have a baseline to judge these games to go off of. In perspective, give the context, it’s not an unreasonable goal to start out with. Nintendo characters should have the name

Nintendo has announced today that it has entered into a business partnership with Japanese firm DeNA to create mobile games and apps for smartphone devices. While Nintendo has largely stayed clear of the smartphone market, which has seen exponential growth over the past five years, this new arrangement will see the company develop games specifically for such devices. Nintendo did however make it clear that the new games will not be ports of previous games but rather titles that have been specially developed and optimized for smartphones. DeNA will have access to all of Nintendo’s intellectual property though, meaning that players could soon see games from some of their biggest franchises, such as Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pikmin, Donkey Kong and Pokemon arrive on their mobile devices. The announcement also revealed that both Nintendo and DeNA are also working on a cross-platform service that will operate across Nintendo’s various consoles as well as smartphones, PCs and tablets, and let users access their accounts and manage their memberships. DeNA is a Japanese
