About Me

Hey Dtoid. Welcome to perritoid!

I'm a 23 year old artist/teacher. While in University I experimented mostly with Animation, Video, and Games.

The lovely [dearly departed] Anthony Burch* featured the fruits of my experimentation here on Destructoid as part of the Indie Nation Series Which probably is one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me! One of many reasons why I love Destructoid.

*The [formerly] Resident Person Named Anthony Who Isn't Anthony Perri.

My first console was the SNES. It remains my favourite, and I've been playing games ever since without pause. Recently I've been a little burned out on the modern sensibilities of a suddenly overwhelmingly Western market. Most of the HD games don't appeal to me.

I currently live in Korea where I teach english and avoid Starcraft [and the north].

Flip's Twisted World - The Wii game you probably never heard of, but need to see.
perri \| 2:43 PM on 07.22.2009	11 comments

So I know I haven't been here much lately- more on that later! [in short- I've had no internet for a month]. Anyways, a friend of mine passed let me know about a game being developed pretty close to my home town and I think it actually looks great.

Frozen North is an independent Developer located in Waterloo Ontario, who I've never heard of before. They recently announced their game, 'Flip's Twisted World' and have secured a publisher in Majesco. The title might make the game sound like Shovelware but it definitely has a Mario Galaxy vibe. There really isn't much more to say but I thought I'd let you guys know about this potentially awesome game from this small developer.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

From the first time I saw this game on Holmes's quick E3 coverage, I knew this was going to be overlooked as hell.

I like unique platformers like this, I can't wait to check it out. I'll spread the word.

This game raelly does look cool. Thanks for sharing the trailer!

Wow... Aside from the main character's jerky movements, this game looks like it could potentially be amazing.

phantomile

Looks fun; reminds me of platformers from the glory days of the PS1.
The character movement DOES look a little awkward, but I'll be optimistic for once and wait to see how it turns out. I'll check it out, at least.

This game looks pretty interesting. But will it be as good or better than the king of platformers on the Wii- Mario Galaxy. It defiantly borrows alot from galaxy, I fear it might borrow a bit too much, even the art style (to me) looks a little too similar. But again you cant make rational decisions on a 1:30 worth of video.

sickNasty

Game looks good. But the music seems really inappropriate for the game.

The art direction could use some work IMO, it looks way too much like every other game on the Wii. The flip mechanic looks like it would be super fun though and it could lead to some awesome level designs. Who knows, this could be a sleeper hit.

Jonathan Holmes

I'm pretty sure Tommy Talareco is doing the music for the game. I played it for a little bit at E3, and it definitely showed potential.

I thought the same thing about SPRay at E3 08, and that game ended up being terrible, so I remain cautious about this one.

Dan CiTi

Aside from the music, not being cel-shaded, and the damn coins looking like they were ripped from SM64 this game looks awesome.

Kyle MacGregor

I think this looks really interesting and shows promise.

About the Galaxy thing: Just because Galaxy was the most recent, and a good example, of changing the surfaces one can walk on doesn't mean it hasn't been done in other titles before. I can think of 3 separate instances in the Zelda series alone (Twisted Corridor-Forest Temple (Ocarina), 4th Temple of Majora's Mask, Iron Boots to Magnetic strips in Fire Temple (Twilight Princess).

That said it still borrows from whats been going on in the platforming genre for the past two decades, which people will chalk up to copying Mario because he did it first and did it better.
