Edit: It does not, however, appear to have a section on Nintendo.com yet. Hmm...

So I guess this web browser I'm using is a game. As is every computer program ever made.

Said by the Reggie at GDC:
I'm not sure that Electroplankton will make it to this country as a game, but I can envision a touch screen-and-voice-driven hip-hop or rap music game that utilizes all that same technology and pushes Nintendo DS out there and really drives it in the forefront, in terms of what the technology is capable of doing.

I'm seriously interested in this. I hope both games are localized, mostly since I like to fully understand and appreciate my games, but I'll take an import if I have to.

Man... well, I guess we're not getting ElectroPlankton, but rather ElectroPlizzle Fo Shizzle.
This sucks.
Post by: Hostile Creation on April 08, 2005, 09:50:20 PM
Okay. Yeah, I'd considered that. I'm not sure, but if that's the case I'll just import then.
"Man... well, I guess we're not getting ElectroPlankton, but rather ElectroPlizzle Fo Shizzle"
That's Reggie speculating. Who knows whether or not it'll go anywhere? I'm not keeping my hopes up, and I'm ready to import, but I think that's less likely than Electroplankton coming over, personally.

As far as Reggie fo' Rizzle's Hip-Hop Hullabaloo.... I don't think he meant to say they would port or remake EP, but rather that if the DS were to see a music game it would be a sampling/rhythm game in touch with today's streetsmart youth/high school dropouts. Besides Jam with the Band, that is. Which is a Nintendo game that's going to be localized eventually. Forget about that, Reggie?
Post by: Hostile Creation on April 09, 2005, 08:39:04 AM
What do you think the likelihood of the price dropping is? And how soon would it happen? I think I'll import both, but I don't want to pay that much.

SIGH. WHY DOES NINTENDO NOT DO THESE SORTS OF THINGS IN AMERICA?
Post by: nickmitch on April 09, 2005, 07:08:58 PM
Nintendo just doesn't have the big, fake breasts to flop around to sell Pepsi in America.
But it's not Nintendo's fault because that is the only way Pepsi knows how to sell their product here.

Iwai played with two DSes simultaneously while the video feeds were projected onto the wall. Given the strong random element of that plankton's output, Kuroda did an admirable job of adapting on-the-fly to Electroplankton's musical permutations.
Quote
After the performance, Iwai was joined on stage by two very special guests: Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. Iwata talked about how everyone at Nintendo were big fans of Iwai's work, and that during the development of the DS hardware, Iwai's name often came up as someone who could take advantage of the machine in unique and interesting ways.
Quote
Iwai was candid about Electroplankton's reception, joking about the mixed and sometimes hostile reactions the software had received from internet message forums and even Nintendo's own internal debugging team.
