Yuji Naka teases 2 more projects


Yuji Naka is on a ‘promotion’ streak for the U.S. release of Ivy the Kiwi? In the recent Nintendo Power magazine, Yuji hints at what to expect in the future from Prope.

“We’re currently developing an action game that has yet another new and unique control scheme, and another project that lets you experience a fun real-world activity within a game.” – Yuji Naka

With Playstation Move and Project Natal around the corner, it should be interesting to see what platform either of the projects is for.

Ivy the Kiwi box art

I still refuse to put that damn question mark in the title, it just looks weird. Maybe I just hate questions? Well, if I did I just screwed it up by asking a question.

Regardless, above is the new box art for the domestic (if you live in America) version of Ivy the Kiwi? (even added the question mark) on the Nintendo DS. Hit the jump for the Wii version. Enjoy. Check out the game’s facebook page for more photos.

Official: XSEED bringing Ivy the Kiwi to America


We ran it as a rumor a few days ago that XSEED Games was going to be publishing Ivy the Kiwi and now they have officially confirmed it. They will be publishing the Nintendo DS and Wii version in North America.  Look for it on store shelves this summer.

Also seems that the title is Ivy the Kiwki? with the question mark. I did not post it like that because it would just confuse readers. The game was develope by Yuji Naka’s Prope, that brought us Let’s Tap and Let’s Catch.

You can hit the jump and see the press release…

Rumor: XSEED to bring Ivy The Kiwi to America?


XSEED seems to be on a role, bringing cult games over to America. They just released Lunar: Silver Star Harmony on the PSP and are already teasing their next project via Twitter. I have to admit, sounding like it can be Ivy The Kiwi.

“XSEED is poised to announce one of our hidden titles next week. It’s sure to be a feather in our cap…”

Not good enough? How about we add another tweet…

“For those guessing certain titles as our mystery announcement, you don’t really think we’d keep all our eggs in one basket, do you? ^_-”

Their third hint says it will be revealed via Nintendo Power magazine. If that was not enough, their facebook is hinting birds as well. It could most likely be Ivy in the Kiwi, XSEED has published Namco-Bandai games before and this is by Yuji Naka, enough to make a cover story. We shall keep you posted.
