Athena announce the 64DD edition of their outstanding Dezaemon series

Japanese development house Athena have told us that they're feverishly working on a 64DD sequel to last year's Dezaemon 3D for Nintendo 64.

Still without a US publisher, the cartridge-based creativity app Dezaemon 3D lets N64 owners design their own 3D shooting games from scratch and save them to cart. Utilising a series of simple menus, players can create their own spaceships, enemies, backgrounds, missiles, explosions, soundtracks and levels, then put everything together into a full game.

The sequel, which will be released exclusively on 64DD in Japan next year, expands on its predecessors by offering even more freedom and the ability to save a large number of levels and self-created games on the disk. Using the Randnet online service, players can even post their games online and trade them with other Dezaemon DD users.
