FAST Racing Neo

Yesterday, Nintendo Life published an interview with Manfred Linzner from Shin’en Multimedia, about the Neo Future Pack DLC for FAST Racing Neo. It covers various topics: reception of the game, pricing and development time for the DLC, the retail release in Europe (and the lack of such a release in North America), and more.

Here’s an excerpt:

The DLC wasn’t planned from start. We always design our games to be ‘complete’ without later add-ons. When the chance for a bigger retail version came along we wanted to give everyone the chance to enjoy the newly made content too. Therefore we made the pricing very affordable. We see it as a fan service.

And in case you’re wondering: yes, Japan is also getting the DLC!

Soul Saga

Runner3

Yesterday, Choice Provisions announced that Runner3 was the in the works. For which platforms? We don’t know… But since Runner2 was released on pretty much all platforms capable of running it, there’s no doubt there’s a version for Nintendo platform(s) coming down the line.

Here’s the teaser trailer for the game:

Very little is known about the game, other than Charles Martinet will be back as voice actor. You can also check out the official Devlog on the official website!
