After having trouble getting the original ATV Wild Ride for Nintendo DS onto retail shelves, developer Renegade Kid have decided to give the game a 3D makeover and this time offer the game on Nintendo’s 3DS eShop. …
NL: The 3D effect adds a nice new layer of depth to the tracks in the game. What does that 3D depth bring to the table from a development standpoint?
JW: Games that are viewed from a third-person perspective work especially well in stereoscopic 3D. I think having your character sit in front of you while the world comes to you just looks stunning. It really pops. From a gameplay perspective, being able to actually judge the turns is a big deal – it feels more natural. I know this probably sounds cheesy, but the 3D effect really does make it more alive and exciting. At least it does for me anyway.
