Title: escapeVektor Coming to Nintendo 3DS
Post by: Traveller on February 23, 2012, 05:56:38 PM

The hit WiiWare game is now making its way to the 3DS.

Update: A Nnooo representative confirms that the game will be a downloadable title on the 3DS eShop.

WiiWare game escapeVektor will be now coming out for Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita, Australian games developer Nnooo announced today.

Nnooo's Creative Director Nic Watt mentioned that the new version of the game will be incorporating the proposed extra chapters that the developer was originally planning for future WiiWare releases, combining the four into one game.

The game will feature lots of new enemies and obstacles along with online leaderboards. The game will be in 3D, showing off some cool effects such as having the background environments pulsing in time to the various chip-tune music tracks.

An early build of the 3DS version will be showcased at GDC.

If this is an eShop game I'm very interested. If they're trying to do a retail release, much less so. The fact that they didn't specify worries me.

Indeed, but so far, they've never done a retail release, and there's no space-limiting reason that they'd need to do so...

Yeah I really doubt it would be retail. I asked them a question about retail games when I went to talk to them last year, they didn't seem to be interested much in retail games.

I know it's most likely it will be eShop, but they didn't say it was, and the PR can be read as them fishing for a publisher at GDC. If it is eShop, it's a day one purchase for me; it sounded like a really good game, but wasn't the kind of thing I wanted on a console, so this is perfect.

Hi everyone, just to confirm that both the 3DS & PS Vita versions of the game will be download titles.


We're a download-only dev studio at the moment.


We didn't specify that the games would be download titles as we currently don't do retail, but then not everyone knows this so we should have probably clarified it.

Thank you for the clarification. Now I'm really excited for this game.

My sentiments exactly.

Just the fact that it was a "hit" on Wiiware is news to me!
