Interplay releasing WiiWare Stonekeep & Descent, Clayfighter on DSiWare and WiiWare - A Black Falcon - 16th April 2010 They have already released a port of Titus' SNES game Prehistorik Man for DSiWare, too. (One of Titus' few actual decent games...) Because they haven't released an actual game in six years now, yet have miraculously avoided going out of business, and now in addition to their Fallout (sorry, "Project V13") MMO are one of the only Western developers doing Wii Virtual Console, they're expanding that to WiiWare and DSiWare too... Descent and Stonekeep I'm betting will be ports, but Clayfighter... we'll see. The Genesis game is on Virtual Console already, so this one might be new or something? Or based on one of the other titles in the series? We'll see. I guess it's nice to see this, it's better than nothing I suppose... (I don't think I will ever like Herve Caen...) http://www.interplay.com/about/article.php?id=44 http://www.interplay.com/about/article.php?id=41 Oh, they have one other upcoming DSiWare title as well, an RTS, Legendary Wars: T-Rex Rumble. It's a cavemen vs. dinosaurs RTS on the DSi, apparently. http://www.interplay.com/games/t_rex_rumble.php There's an interview with some of the team on Interplay's site too: http://www.interplay.com/games/interview_t_rex_rumble.php Excerpt: Quote: Interplay.com: What was the most difficult thing during the development? In the past few months Interplay released Prehistorik Man (a port of Titus' SNES version of the game, I believe) for DSiWare in February, and has also announced Clayfighter for DSiWare and WiiWare, Stonekeep for WiiWare, and Descent for WiiWare, but those have been mentioned here before (I see no mention of this game) and do not have any screenshots, artwork, or anything else released about them, just press releases that they exist. This one is obviously farther along. Interplay's site says that it's going to be released Spring 2010, so it's probably not far off... I guess it's nice to see Interplay actually releasing something again, even if it is still the Caen's Interplay and not the Interplay that was great back in the '80s to the early '00s. The Caens should really call Interplay "The new Titus, because the old one went out of business five years ago"... and given that they founded and still ran Titus, they obviously had responsibility there... maybe that's not entirely fair, there are some old Interplay people working at the company and they are emphasizing Interplay's back library primarily, but when Interplay actually has a good back library while Titus released some of the most infamously horrible games ever (Superman 64 for instance), that is probably not surprising. :) Other than Prehistorik Man DSiWare, good luck finding much of anything Titus-related on the site. :) I guess Legendary Wars is supposed to be an original title and not related to Prehistorik Man, but it obviously has some strong thematic similarities, both being cavemen and dinosaurs games. Anyway, it might be decent, we'll see... |
