Top graphics, and two player multiplayer promised.

Manfred Linzner, from Nanostray's developer Shin'en, was interviewed by the Spanish Vandal.net about this year's shooter sequel. The interview was subsequently translated by NeoGAF member escandell, and reveals some new, mostly technical, information about the title. Linzner enthuses about the improved graphical ability: "Our R&D discovered that the DS graphics hardware can actually do quite some more things than the technical specs tell [...] A lot of work also has gone into the particle system. Where Nanostray 1 used just some dozen of particles on screen Nanostray 2 uses often a couple of hundreds. The new particle engine is not only eyecandy. All particles can now also have physical behavior to allow things like gravity and collision."

Other game details include a two-player multiplayer, with no online play, and the use of the touch screen for "strategic" reasons before missions, probably in a similar manner to Starfox DS. Unlike Starfox, though, the touch screen will not be used in the game's main action, leaving purists' feathers unruffled presumably. A running speed of 60Hz is also planned.
