Video: Get a First Look at This Jett Rocket II - The Wrath of Taikai Teaser

Finally some news! Really liked the first game. Hopefully we can see some footage soon.

I have been interested in seeing how this game turns out for quite a while now. It looks pretty interesting and could be a welcome addition to the eshop.

Wow. Delayed again? I bet it'll be good!

Loved the first one and just want to make sure this isn't some type of racing game or it differs to far from the original. Visually that video looks impressive! I'm sure the graphics will match that in game!

I never played the original, but this seems really quality. I'll keep an eye on it! Two even!

By the way, this video is directly recorded from the 3DS game.

Manfred, based on the screens this looks like a 2D platformer with 3D racing sections. Is that the case?

I mean, I love 2D games and all but I was really hoping for a 3D platformer.

Did anyone see the original "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan" trailer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJTi7KJPx_E
Quite an inspiration...

Looking good. Looking real good.

The game has many different ways to explore the world.

@Tech101
These are the games graphics. It's all original from the 3DS. And don't worry, this is not a racing game. It's all jump'n'run action plus many cool bonus stuff.

@Manfred Are you by chance with the company? If so how close to the platforming is this to the original?

@Tech101 Yes, i'm the lead programmer and designer of both games. The 3DS game is very different to the Wii game. It's much more action, much more secrets while still having the charm of the original (at least we hope so .

Never mind about the first question lol. I clicked on your avatar and found that out for myself.

Could it be compared to say Donkey Kong Country Returns or Rayman Legends?? It just looks so pretty. You guys really know how to do your graphics and bring out the most from a system!!

@Manfred

You guys rock, thanks for pointing out that there were more screens

I'm still expecting a 3DS 2D shmup from you guys! Don't let me down! That genre is woefully lacking on 3DS.

@Tech101:
I think the game is more about exploring and finding secrets then those other games, while still having lots of action going on.

Also did any other movie or any other type of references make it into the game? Lol at the beginning matching that of The Wrath of Khan!

Sorry I keep picking your brain. We don't often get programmers on the site!

@Stargazer
You are very right. We thought the same last week and therefore implemented also a shmup part in JR2. Reminds me on Nanostray2, but much cuter

@Tech101:
This must be pure coincidence. If we would ever do such a thing, then there would be a couple of subtle references...

Thanks for your time!! Now get back to finishing the game lol!!

Looks awesome guys can't wait for it too release. Now lets talk about a new FAST game.

Shin'en is the best!!

that trailer was epic! I love the dramatic narrator. Will be getting this game

@Manfred Super , I'm really looking forward to this one. You always make quality games which is fun to play and I deeply respect your decision and hard work, to make your games run with 60 fps. without sacrificing the visuals. A super smooth frame rate makes a game a lot more enjoyable, sadly a lot of games these days struggles with a choppy 20-30 fps... I'm a big fan of FAST, but I read FAST 2 will not make it to 3ds because you weren't able to make it run in 60 fps. , any chance it could appear on Wiiu?

Love the game, have the first game can't wait for this one

aaaah, you're killing me. I thought this was a WiiU game. Don't know why I would think any game would be coming to the WiiU when it can just go to the 3DS, Nintendo is killing me.

I really liked the Wii Ware title. This should be good.

Really looking forward to play Jet Rocket II! The first was such a surprise and I loved it!

i have the wiiware version in my wishlist i think i will download it soon before the secuel comes.

I'm a big platformer fan and this looks great.

I hope the main character actually gets his helmet at some point...

I'm digging Jett's new Jimmy Neutron hairdo.

His face is also more expressive this time around. Really hope they're packing this with all the varied fun that 3D platformers used to stand for, like they did with the first game.

The 3D Platfomer?...

Loving the detail on Taikai and the new design for Jett is a big improvement. Played the first one again a few weeks ago and it still looks beautiful.

I'm taking it Jett Rocket 2 is to Super Mario 3D Land as Jett Rocket is to Super Mario Galaxy?

This may be my most anticipated 3DS game right now.

@Manfred Count me as impressed with what I have seen so far! I am eager to try this game out!

@Manfred hi i'm very impressed from your staf skills in making games good looking and good playing too i have one question for you i would like to now from a programer like you if the 3ds version of game is the same or between the wii one in terms of graphics and if the 3ds is as powerfull as the wii wich some say ,besides i have big respect for you guys

Shin'en games are always technically proficient, but personally I've never found the art in their games to be very appealing.

I am a little bit dissapointed! This is not Jet Rocket (the character), but a strange guy with a quil! And I don't see open worlds like in Jet Rocket! I only see a 2,5 D platformer with some jetski sections. Still cool, but not what I expected! But of course it's still a teaser!

I'm definitely be picking this up but I'm slightly disappointed this isn't (of what's been shown so far) a 3D adventure but a 2.5D platformer now I loved the levels in the first one. I'm glad there is going to be a greater emphasis on jet skiing though, I greatly enjoyed surfing in the 1st one.

@xerox The Wii and 3DS GPU is very different. Each one has their own strengths. For instance the 3DS can easily do great Bump and Lighting Effects.

Someone posted that on our Facebook page

@Manfred I love the way you guys use bump mapping and lighting effects.
This game looks great and I will be getting it on day 1.
Also, I got Nano Assault (retail) at launch and was wondering how different the EX version is, in terms of graphics, to the original. I might get the e-shop version as well, that's why I ask. Your feedback will be most appreciated.

Don't worry guys, it is a 3D Platformer. It plays like Super Mario 3D Land. WHICH IS A 3D PLATFORMER! Just look

@NintendoPro64 that screenshot does improve my thoughts on the game, but what I'd like to know (if possible) from @Manfred is: will the camera angle be changeable? Or does it always stay on the side of the world like in the NSMB games?

@NintendoPro64,

Yes, that screenshot makes the game look more interesting!

I. Am. Buying. This.
