Introduction
Hello there! I’m glad to see so many potential Spirit Hunters Inc trainees at this special briefing session. We at Spirit Hunters Inc are grateful for your attention and especially thankful that you’re considering a career with Spirit Hunters Inc to rid the world of these pesky spirits!
If you decide to help us, for a very small fee we will allow you to download our special Spirit Hunters Inc software which turns your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo 3DS into a powerful spirit hunting device. As a new recruit you need to pop open your NIntendo DSi or Nintendo 3DS wherever you find yourself and hunt, battle and capture as many spirits as you can. Spirits can either be defeated (by draining their health bar completely) or captured (by trapping them with special Spirit Hunters Inc traps) when their health is low. The more spirits you defeat, the more XP you will get and the quicker you’ll level up! The more spirits you capture, the more money (in the form of Ghoulders) you will get, making it easier to afford all of the cool abilities on offer! Read the rest of this entry »
PLEASE NOTE THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED
With the release of Spirit Hunters Inc just around the corner (November 22nd!), we want to give you the opportunity to hone your spirit hunting skills.
We’ve heard a Level 10 (very rare) gold spirit has infiltrated the Nnooo website and we need your help to find it. Have a search round our site and look for the hidden spirit. If you find it, email us its name at support@nnooo.com so we can identify the little critter. (See Hints & Tips below for a clue to where he might be hiding.)
As a reward for helping us, we’ll put you into a draw to win a free copy of Spirit Hunters Inc: Light or Spirit Hunters Inc: Shadow.
More Chances to Win!
We’ve also heard that there are spirits lurking in the following community sites: Read the rest of this entry »
What, a month since our last update? Let’s go:
Our weekend at EX Expo was a blast. We were blown away by the reception we received for Spirit Hunters Inc and escapeVektor. The days manning the booth were long but it was worth it to see people of all ages playing our games and thoroughly enjoying themselves. We were positioned right in front of the entrance to the pavilion so we had a prime position to attract the crowd. Our new Spirit Hunters Inc banner helped draw people in and to top it all off we had graffiti art of some of the spirits as a backdrop to the booth. We couldn’t have hoped for more!

Official Nintendo Magazine has previewed both Spirit Hunters Inc and the 3DS version of escapeVektor.
Of Spirit Hunters Inc the preview says, “This is a chunky game offering value for money rarely seen on DSiWare.” escapeVektor is described as “a beautiful game”.
Take a look at both previews below. You can get your hands on Spirit Hunters Inc from November 22nd. It will cost 800 Nintendo DSi Points on the Nintendo DSi Shop and US$7.99, €8 or AUS$12 on the Nintendo eShop. We’re finishing off escapeVektor now and hope to have it released by the end of the year.

We were really saddened to hear that the UK’s Nintendo Gamer magazine was to print its final issue this month. The closure of this publication, as well as the impending shutdown of Nintendo Power magazine in the US, marks the end of an era in Nintendo-based print coverage. Both magazines have been stalwarts of the Nintendo scene for years and both will be sadly missed by Nintendo fans everywhere.
When were were in the UK recently we visited quite a few magazines to showcase Spirit Hunters Inc and escapeVektor. One of the mags we went to see was Nintendo Gamer and shortly after our visit we heard the sad news about the publication. Given the long lead time required to feature in a magazine we figured we wouldn’t have a chance of appearing in any more issues, so imagine our surprise when a friend in the UK told us Spirit Hunters Inc had a double page feature!

So you know we’ve been working like crazy to get these games finished, don’t you? Of course you do, especially if you follow us on Facebook or Twitter.
And we’ve been a little slack lately when it comes to updating this blog. So let’s get you up to date.
Spirit Hunters Inc is finished! Yes, you read correctly! FINISHED, FINISHED, FINISHED! So we can say with 100% certainty it will be released in the final quarter of this year. As soon as we have a date and price agreed with Nintendo we’ll issue a press release. We’ve also made a whole load of cool videos which we’ll be releasing once the launch date is announced, and of course we’ll be updating the Spirit Hunters Inc website with new spirit concept artwork like the images you see here, eventually showing all the spirit families.

Wow, it’s been over a month since our last post! It’s not because we’re being lazy though. Oh no, quite the opposite. A whole lot has been happening and we’re so busy that something has to give, and unfortunately it’s this site. But only for a little while, we promise!
We’ll update you on what’s been happening soon. If you can’t wait, check out our Facebook page.
One thing we need to tell you about now is this. We’re backing the Oculus Rift Kickstarter so we can get our developer paws on a virtual reality development kit. As you can see from the picture below, Nic already owns a Virtual Boy so we have a soft spot for virtual reality. 
We also entered the Gift a Rift contest where 2 developers will get a free early development kit. Out of over 100 entries there are 5 finalists. And we are one of them! How great is that?
You can help us win the dev kit as the next stage is open to public voting. Basically the 2 winners will be the ones with the most votes. Simple!
Click here to go to the voting page and vote for Nnooo. You know we’re full of love for you already, but if you help us by voting we’ll squeeze in as much extra love as our bodies can handle. And hopefully we’ll be able to make some cool virtual reality games sooner! Hurry though, voting finishes at the end of the Kickstarter campaign and there’s not much time left!
Thank you so much 
Sydney, July 23 2012
Australian developer Nnooo has recently received approval to develop for Nintendo’s upcoming home console, the Wii U. The Sydney based studio is the first Australian developer to announce Wii U approval.
Nnooo has been developing titles for Nintendo since the studio was formed in 2006 and is best known for US WiiWare™ launch title Pop™, the myLifeCollected™ range of lifestyle applications for Nintendo DSiWare™, and most recently escapeVektor™: Chapter 1 for WiiWare.
“We’re thrilled to receive developer approval for this exciting new console,” said Nic Watt, Creative Director at Nnooo. “We can’t wait to see what the console is capable of and already have a number of ideas we’d like to experiment with.”
Nnooo is currently developing Spirit Hunters Inc, an augmented reality RPG for Nintendo DSiWare, and escapeVektor for the Nintendo 3DS™ and PlayStation®Vita, all of which are expected to be released in the final quarter of 2012.
“We’re very close to finishing Spirit Hunters Inc and escapeVektor,” said Watt. “We’ll be showcasing the games at Gamescom in Cologne in the middle of August. Once these games are completed we’ll be prototyping some ideas for the Wii U to get a feel for what we can do. We’ve already had a quick play with the hardware and everyone in the studio is super impressed by the GamePad and the capabilities of the Wii U itself.”
Spirit Hunters Inc and escapeVektor are scheduled for release in late 2012.
