More N+ on the way to XBLA N4G
360 News from N4G | N+ - Xbox Live Arcade
360 - N+ - Xbox Live Arcade - More N+ on the way to XBLA Joystiq writes: "A little ninja scampered across our screen to bring news that Metanet, developer of N+, has three level packs for the Xbox Live Arcade version of the game ready and waiting. According to a post on Metanet's blog, the downloadable content has already been submitted to Microsoft for certification, although it has yet to receive a release date.

The post also reveals that one of the three packs will be free, and that, in total, the DLC-drop contains more than 750 new maps (roughly 300 of which are mutliplayer levels). The maps are reportedly "a lot better than the ones that came with N+" due to the fact that Metanet has "had more time to learn what works." We know what works: 750 more reasons to love the stylish and seductively simple ninja platformer."

N+ creators stand behind their anti-XBLA rant - 'In Defense of the Apparant Shitstorm' N4G
360 News from N4G | N+ - Xbox Live Arcade
360 - N+ - Xbox Live Arcade - N+ creators stand behind their anti-XBLA rant - 'In Defense of the Apparant Shitstorm' N+ creators Raigan Burns and Mare Sheppard in their response blog titled "In Defense of the Apparant Shitstorm" write:

"Well, apparently our Gamasutra interview is controversial. Probably we should do what all the professionals have advised us to do, and just stop reading comments - it is the internet after all. But let's instead take one last stab at dialogue.

We didn't intend to provoke outrage, we simply spoke candidly. Actually saying what you think rather than being fake in an interview situation is apparently just not done, but don't shoot the messenger - it's not our fault that the vast majority of XBLA games suck! Literally every single person we've ever spoken with is in agreement on this, and yet it's apparently shocking for gamers in general to hear (assuming that's who reads joystiq/kotaku)."

New N+ Content Coming N4G
360 News from N4G | N+ - Xbox Live Arcade
360 - N+ - Xbox Live Arcade - New N+ Content Coming Since the February release of N+ on Xbox Live Arcade, the developers at Metanet have apparently locked themselves away in a secret underground Toronto location, cranking out new levels like true design ninja.

N+ co-creator Mare Sheppard told IGN today that Metanet plans to release three downloadable expansion packs, each containing about 200 levels, in the months ahead. The first pack will likely contain some easier levels and some co-op multiplayer levels and could hit Xbox Live Marketplace as early as three weeks from now. The second and third packs would follow soon after.

Microsoft Forced Removal of Online Level Sharing in N+ - 'We Were Devastated,' Says Co-Creator N4G
360 News from N4G | N+ - Xbox Live Arcade
360 - N+ - Xbox Live Arcade - Microsoft Forced Removal of Online Level Sharing in N+ - 'We Were Devastated,' Says Co-Creator N+ always intended to let players upload custom levels for anyone to download, but Microsoft nixed the feature at the last second.

The decision was so last second, in fact, the version of N+ available on Partnernet, a test version of Xbox Live that publishers and select media can access, actually includes this feature. MTV Multiplayer wondered why a small studio like Metanet Software would bother investing in such an ambitious feature if they had any suspicions it wouldn't make the cut.

PS3Fanboy: N+ coming to PSN, but it'll take 'a while' due to exclusivity clause N4G
360 News from N4G | N+ - Xbox Live Arcade
360 - N+ - Xbox Live Arcade - PS3Fanboy: N+ coming to PSN, but it'll take 'a while' due to exclusivity clause PS3Fanboy reports that N+ creators Metanet confirmed a PSN version of N+ (recently released on Xbox 360) is definitely in the works. However, it will not appear on the service any time soon. "Yes, however due to an exclusivity clause in our XBLA contract, it may not be for a while."

A producer at Atari noted that they are excited to work on PSN in the future. He pointed out the freedom developers have to create games on the Network. "The PSN has fewer restrictions on their incoming content (likely because it's struggling to catch up to the well-established XBLA) but again, on the PSN right now the indie designer has far more freedom to create the game that they imagine, whatever the size and shape." This kind of flexibility, we hope, is what will draw new exclusive content to the Network.

N+ A Triumph For Tiny Ninja N4G
360 News from N4G | N+ - Xbox Live Arcade
360 - N+ - Xbox Live Arcade - N+ A Triumph For Tiny Ninja Kotaku writes:

"When I first heard that Metanet's minimalist ninja game N was going to be released on Xbox Live Arcade as N+, I have to say I was skeptical. An excellent free game for the PC, why would I want to spend my hard-earned monies on a game that uses a mere fraction of the power of my Xbox 360, filling up my widescreen TV with a game that looks like it could have been made 15 years ago? The answer, in short, is that it completely kicks ass."
