In just under two weeks, Nintendo will launch their WiiWare service in the U.S. Yet with 13 days to go, Nnooo creative director Nic Watt still doesn't know how much his WiiWare title, Pop, will cost.
He does have a range for his multiplayer, bubble-based shooter: 500 to 800 Wii Points (translated: between $5 and $8).
"For a new company like ourselves, pricing is a really tough issue particularly on something like a downloadable service where there are games at a variety of prices," said Watt in an e-mail interview with MTV Multiplayer last week. "Disc-based games are somewhat easier as they all generally retail for about the same price."
Player Attack: If you wanted to know a little more about how Aussie developers Nnooo managed to become the only self-published Australian developer creating games for Vita, here's your chance. We caught up with Nic and Bruce from Nnooo late last year at GCAP, and chatted all about the company's three major games: Pop, Spirit Hunters, Inc and - of course - escapeVektor. At the time, the company had only just started chatting to Sony about the development deal, instead seeming to pin their hopes on the 3DS version of escapeVektor which was also announced this week. How times change!
GamePron: Regardless of where you live in the world, a bargain is still a bargain, and the Aussie App Sale is certainly packed with great deals. It’s the third year of the Australian-made showcase, and there are already 26 awesome games and utility apps up for grabs.
Evan Campbell reports:
''Nnooo may be a recently established company, but Creative Director Nic Watt and company have big plans. We got the chance to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the WiiWare title Pop, along with details about future titles, the competition and their Pokemon MMORPG concept.''
the clocks ticking nintendo..i'm waiting for those wiiware games and ds downloads
your game is even more shallow then lots of flash games......i say 1 buck else its a rip off
Five dollars for that kind of game? I'm hoping that at least they will have slightly better games than this in the downloads. Because games such as the one presented in the article is nothing more than a kill-time game one plays at work :p.
If it's more than 2-3 dollars it's not worth it :\
I wonder if the amount of Wii points a download costs HAS to be divisible by 100. In other words, could this game cost 50 Wii points ($0.50)?
