Seriously, it’s been killing us to keep all the news about N+ quiet. We have really big mouths, and it’s hard to shut that down. But, finally, we’re FINALLY allowed to share the good news with everyone. N+ will be available for download for 800 points on this Wednesday, February 20th, at 9am PST. Yay! […]
N+ Launch Party Widely Regarded as “Best Party of All Time”
14 Feb / by: M&R / 21 comments / tags : N+Well, the N+ XBLA launch party was last night, and it was a smashing success! Check out the pics here. The room was pretty well packed by the end, and it was difficult to pry the controllers from the crabbed and clawlike (read: N+ addicted) hands of our guests when it was time to close […]
Before getting to the actual subject of this post, we should point out that the latest installment of our IGN developer blog is up: https://blogs.ign.com/Metanet/ To make up for the lack of substance last time, we’ve packed 8 pages of Q&A into a single column! Aw yeah. We’ve also updated the N/N+ website: https://www.thewayoftheninja.org/ We’re […]
IGN Developer Blog
15 Jan / by: M&R / 11 comments /The first article in a series we’re writing is up on IGN, you can check it out here: https://blogs.ign.com/Metanet/2008/01/15/77103/ We were feeling pretty silly when we wrote it (writing it at 1am the night before it was due may also have played a part). It was meant to be one of those “who are you […]

10 Jan / by: M&R / 14 comments /At long last N+ XBLA is finished the final certification process! Woo! We’ll post as soon as we hear about release dates/etc.. in the meantime, why not check out Nick’s blog? (note: the handheld versions are still firmly lodged in various stages of development)
UFN (Unidentified Flying Ninja)
18 Dec / by: M&R / 27 comments /We were just sent this video — apparently taken by a resourceful eye-witness.

N+ XBLA Coming So Soon We Can Almost Taste It.
03 Dec / by: M&R / 28 comments /Okay, it doesn’t really taste great, but it’s *looking* amazing. You probably already know about the official website of the N universe, which currently features a tiny bit of N+ content but will soon feature much, much more: https://www.thewayoftheninja.org. But did you know that IGN is now featuring N+ screenshots? Yes, it’s true! Check them […]
Games in Rotation
13 Nov / by: M&R / 16 comments /We’re still struggling with trying to write something here more than once a damn month.. there are dozens and dozens of semi-fleshed-out topics waiting patiently in a text file, but converting these from point form into our typical nice classy posts takes way more time and energy than we can usually muster. Today, as a […]
meta-review: Bionic Commando remake
16 Oct / by: M&R / 26 comments /Wow.. this is exactly what’s wrong with commercial games. When we first heard of this project, we were worried that yet another grappling/physics-based game would be coming to take on Robotology. After watching the video, all we could think was “this is the sound of a great game being F’d in the A”. They couldn’t […]
We Love Japan
10 Oct / by: M&R / 10 comments /The bad news is that, yet again, we have to halt work on Robotology in order to work on N+. After a couple weeks of DS/PSP level work, we should be able to return to it yet again, for good this time. Hopefully. The good news is, we went to Japan! It was fantastic. Japan […]
