N+ is great. Luckily, the Xbox 360 community thinks the same thing as Metanet has announced that N+ has achieved the 100k in sales. It's pretty exciting considering that the game is about as difficult and frustrating as a game can get. Here's to 100k more sales for Metanet and Slick!
N+ is getting longer. If you haven't yet finished the full game, you best get cracking on that large feat as three DLC packs are on their way (one of which is free). The packs will be available soon after a title update is released this summer.
Devon Kofsky (aka DaKing240) has the XBLA skinny from GDC. How? Well, he's there. I'm not jealous. I swear.
Moving on!
GDC Day 1 brings news that NinjaBee's Doritos game will be light on the advertising. And thankfully, they decided to code in the fun after previous complaints. Also, Freeverse mentioned that DLC is on the way for Marathon.
And apparently the best advice for those getting stuck on levels in N+ is go and have a beer and come back later. Law willing, of course. Oh, and DLC is coming for N+ too. Without further ado, here's the N+ interview.
Joystiq's JC Fletcher was able to track down Raigan Burns and Mare Sheppard of Metanet Software to learn a bit about the quirks and triumphs of earning the "+" at the end of N+.
Amongst the many destination platforms for N+ (DS, PSP, and XBLA), Burns and Sheppard are thrilled to be working on XBLA in particular. The high points of the XBLA version are the high degree of flexiblity in "level dimension" and also the "rich HD goodness."
They also briefly discuss the three multiplayer modes in the XBLA version (co-op, race, and survival) as well as drop the name of their next game: Robotology. Robotology will see a PC/Mac release first and a console port of the game is only a dream at this point.
