Last Sunday’sSup, Holmes?with WayForward’s Sean Velasco (now on iTunes!) was filled with meat.Ocarina of TimeandUncharted 2were lambasted. The first ten minutes ofMetroidwere yelled about. Declarations of love for the Wii U were trumpeted. Hot times indeed.
The conversation was so passionate that we almost forgot to talk about WayForward, though we did eventually regain enough focus to dig up some interesting behind the scene stories from the studio. Sean detailed his plans for a sequel toA Boy and His Blob, which involved two-player co-op with a girl and her blob, and some added romance to boot. I’d love to read the ESRB description on that one. If you would too, emailMajescoand tell them to publishA Boy andhis Blob and a Girl and her Blob who loves his Blob and the Blob loves her back but a Boy doesn’t love a Girl because they are only Eight years oldtoday!
We also got the scoop on howDouble Dragon: Neongot so hilarious. While working onContra 4, Sean had a lot of ideas for ways to play up the series’s signature muscle magic — stuff high fives that hit so hard that tank tops burst into flames, and lines like “I don’t know how to quit you, Bill” delivered with deadpan gruffness by series co-lead Lance Bean. Though most of those ideas didn’t make it to that game, Sean brought as many of them as he could toDouble Dragon: Neon, which is a big part of what makes the game so great.
Thanks again to Sean,Adam, andJamesto making WayForwardVember such a huge success, and look for more faces from WayForward on Sup Holmes in the future. In the meantime, be sure to tune in this Sunday when we welcome Douglas Wilson ofWhere-is-my-Heart?andJohann Sebastian Joustfame to the show. It’s going to be shabba-doo.
