N+ minus $10, plus 2 weeks

by JC Fletcher { Aug 7th 2008 at 11:27AM }

We've got good news and bad news regarding N+, Atari's handheld update of the freeware platformer N. The bad news isn't all that bad and the good news is awesome.

First, the kinda bad: N+ appears to have been delayed again, from August 12 to August 26. While it troubles us to think that the game is just never going to come out, we're glad it's at least not coming out on the same day as Bangai-O Spirits. The good news is that N+ will now launch at $20, which is an insanely good deal for a new, polished N with hundreds of new levels and a stylus-based level editor.

There's a third bit of news too, which didn't really fit in the "good news/bad news" thing we were trying to do, though it falls into the "good" category: Amazon orders will include a download link for a digital strategy guide.

Wow, delayed again?

Ok, I won't be buying it then.

Wow, really? Something tells me you weren't ever going to.

Yeah I'm bored of Nintendo, I'm selling everything.

Try homebrew

*whimpers* Another two week delay?! I don't think I can take one more delay. I remember being excited about the tentative March08 release date.

But on the other hand, $20 is light on the wallet,
maybe I can buy Bangai-o now too?

OMG. For the last two weeks, N+ has been on my "bargain bin" list, but now that it's been dropped in price, I don't think I have any good reason not to pick it up ASAP. I'll still wait for reviews though.

This game looks freakin' awesome and very original (in a simplistic kinda way). I can't wait to play it!

This is great! I now know I'll get it as soon as it comes out. I know Mare and Raigan (the girl and guy behind the original flash game) really wanted to drop the price, even if it meant rolling in a slightly smaller pile of dough. They also were unsure about one of the versions of N+, so I guess I'll just have to hope it was the 360 one.
