I had to resend the submission package because Nintendo had changed their PGP key and I had used the old one, and because even though E rating says “All Ages” somehow if I click “All Ages” on Nintendo’s form it is wrong even though the form says “E” is 6 and up. Whatever.
So I took the opportunity to clean up a few things in the manuals, and to fix a very small display bug. The callout letters are now properly anti-aliased, and the product code was inserted in the proper place in all the manuals (I forgot about that one!). There was a small chance of the screen being dimmed during a file save that I have now corrected.
Since they didn’t get a chance to evaluate anything, I got to resubmit version 0.0 and so did not have to go to the back of the line again.
Meanwhile, work on the German manuals continues. Page 4 (The Block Screen) tends to go on forever, since that is where most of the action is, but it will be much quicker after that.

Rhythm Core Alpha 2 has been re-sent to Nintendo Lotcheck…
Thursday, March 14th, 2013Rhythm Core Alpha 2 has been sent to Nintendo LotCheck!
Wednesday, March 13th, 2013I just sent the first version of “Rhythm Core Alpha 2″ (for the Americas) off to Nintendo for Lotcheck testing! This is the last stage before it finally gets released. How long this takes depends how bug-free the software is, and whether Nintendo has any issues with the translations.
Approved for Europe
Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010We are now approved for Europe, but are still waiting on a release date. YaY
Marketing Materials for Rhythm Core Alpha’s EU release are GO!
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010Sent the marketing materials off to Nintendo of Europe. When the product is approved by NCL, we’ll be ready to appear in the European and Australian DSiWare shop!
Rhythm Core Alpha is now being tested at Nintendo Co. Ltd. for final release!
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010Just called Nintendo in Germany to get info in my lotcheck status. Evidently they have sent it along to Japan for final testing. Crossed fingers!
(p.s. Google voice to Germany seems to work better than for domestic calls!)
Rhythm Core Alpha European release is so close…
Monday, December 6th, 2010Nintendo sent back a very small number of errors with a “Request for Feedback”. So, if I push, I can probably get it out right away. I’ve already fixed their errors, but worry that waiting another week for test will make sure my product is not in the DSi shop on Christmas.
Also, I have some approval for the “Export” feature, but not sure on the “Import”. Chances are pretty good neither will be in the European release, as that would push it back past Christmas. I sure wish I knew about that sooner.
Yet another Lotcheck submission for Europe
Monday, November 29th, 2010Set version 5 to Nintendo of Europe. A very small number of fixes in this one. Hopefully this is the last revision.
Sent Rhythm Core Alpha to LotCheck again.
Thursday, November 18th, 2010Ok, just sent out version 0.4 to Nintendo of Europe for Lotcheck testing.
We must be getting close…
Thursday, November 11th, 2010Nintendo is asking about error checking in our save game format… I thought we went through all that with Nintendo of America?
Rhythm Core Alpha European version 0.3 has been sent to Nintendo Lotcheck!
Friday, October 29th, 2010Ok, the new submission packet is off to Nintendo of Europe! Many fixes, many corrections. Let’s hope this is it!
One step closer to Europe…
Wednesday, October 27th, 2010Found my bug! YaY! All is good with the world! Now all I have to do is edit the other 4 manuals…
