27 Feb / by: M&R / 13 comments /It’s been brought to our attention that N+ is up for some XBLA Awards: https://majornelson.com/archive/2009/02/26/the-second-annual-xbox-live-arcade-awards.aspx This is awesome news, and we’re totally thrilled. Thank you Microsoft! It’s an honour to have been nominated, and we would love to win! And that, dear readers, is where you come in. It’s that time again, time to Rock […]
A few years ago, at Slamdance, we were introduced to a game we liked very much, called Rumble Box. A beat-em-up game with characters made of cubes and spheres, cel-shaded graphics and a cool mechanic whereby the parts of your bested opponents assist you in your climb to the top — what’s not to like? […]
We recently ran into several copies of N+ (both DS and PSP) in Tokyo (at import stores in Akihabara), and noted that some of them had sold when we revisited the stores later on. We had assumed N+ DS/PSP would, like N+ XBLA, be sold worldwide — with any luck that will happen someday. For […]
The third (and final… well, for now, anyway) N+ levelpack is now available on XBLA, and it’s free! This one features levels from the original N, reworked and restyled for N+, in the form of: 150 singleplayer, 50 co-op, and 50 race. So the three level packs give you 675 new levels total — that’s […]
Edit: Thank you all for entering, this Contesque is now closed! So the third N+ level pack debuts Wednesday (the 15th of October, 2008), and that means it’s time for another contesque! For this open-ended contesque, if we like your submission you could win whichever version of N+ you want! This one is […]
Contesque 2: Level Name References — Winners!
11 Sep / by: M&R / 13 comments /As you may know, the second (of three) N+ expansion packs was released yesterday. To our surprise, several gamers who post on the Xbox forum had finished the SP levels within hours (and they’re definitely not easy!) — congrats, guys, your ninja skillz are honestly amazing. On to the Contesque. Thanks to all the participants […]
Technical Difficulties…
05 Sep / by: M&R / 3 comments /Sorry about that, everyone, it appears our webhost is still having some technical difficulties. The site and blog appear to be back and finally functioning properly again, so the contesque is once again open. Because of the idiotic downtime, we will be extending the contesque for one day, and adding some new prizes to the […]
It’s that time again! The second pack of new N+ levels for N+ XBLA will be out on Wednesday September 10, and that means we’ve got another contesque for you. The contesque is open to everyone, world-wide. It closes September 10 at 9am EST. That means it will be open for one week only, […]
Contesque 1: Level Names — Winners!
01 Sep / by: M&R / 0 comments /Originally posted by M&R | July 23, 2008 The first N+ Downloadable Levelpack releases today (it’s up right now!), which is really exciting. We tried to make everyone happy: there are 150 “easier” Singleplayer levels, which should ease the pain of those who have found N+ too difficult, and 50 Co-op Multiplayer levels, which should […]
