Well hopefully Nintendo bought the rights to that concept (I think I remember hearing they did...) & we'll see that Gem on the U hopefully!!

Ahh - Nibris. Some of those guys behind Double-Bloob are ex-Nibris. They demoed this game along with another DS title - "Raid over the River" which I believe our very own Adam, actually saw in the flesh. No idea why they didn't release it.

As for Sadness, I fell in love with the concept of a black and white horror when it was announced alongside the as-yet, unreleased Wii. I think ultimately, those guys didn't understand the concept of deadlines !! Shame.

@Adam - I've used Send/Recieve when I've had unread messages. The problem you had has never occurred to me. Perhaps it was just a one-off?

I really wish Nibris was still around. Sadness looked to be the MOST profound horror game ever...even freakier than Dead Space in my opinion...I still remember the awesomely freaky monster design & what the story was supposed to be.

Truely an epic endeavor...I just wish it would've succeeded.

You guys mention Pang a lot! Is it really that good?

Love the idea of Swapnote-Flipnote crossover. Bring it on :D

Since this podcast was recorded before the last Nintendo Direct, we can say our Operations Director sort of "predicted" the new Kawashima game on 3DS. Way to go :D !
