BLOK DROP U creator talks HTML5 Web Framework dev, price, release date and DLC

Basically it (HTML5) is a web-based programming language. The same type of code that generates websites can now be used for interactive entertainment. ...Of course none of this would be possible without tools and documentation from Nintendo. Most of the code is natural HTML5, but there are situations when hardware or services must be called into your project that require specific Nintendo API's (application programming interface). (The experience was) easier than I anticipated.
- due out Q1 of 2014 for North American markets
