Why Robin Makes Batman Better D3Publisher announced an aggressive push into kid-friendly games this morning with two announcements: First, the publisher has entered into an agreement with Universal Pictures to release video games based on the upcoming animated film Coraline, an adaptation of the gothic fairytale novella by Neil Gaiman. The Coraline game will be coming to consoles and handheld systems in 2009.
Second, D3P will release a DS title based on Aardman Animation’s Shaun the Sheep TV series on February 6, 2009. When Kotaku visited D3P’s press event last week in New York City, we got to take a look at the Shaun the Sheep game, and we also recently spoke to D3P of America’s executive vice president Yoji Takenaka about the agreement and the new titles.
I stopped by D3Publisher’s hotel suite yesterday to check out some of their stuff. I hadn’t heard much about Bangai-O Spirits (remember, Dreamcast fans?) which has been out in Japan since March and is hitting here sometime in the fourth quarter, but that’s because I generally don’t follow shooters.
Even I sat up and took notice, though. Bangai-O Spirits, developed by Ikaruga creator Treasure, is hardcore oldschool, from what I could tell by looking, with richly-detailed 2D sprites and both horizontal and vertical scrolling. The awesome thing about it is the full realtime level editor – if you’re having a hard time, you can build yourself a little wall, or plow yourself a new path.
