Suda51’s games haven’t been on Nintendo platforms in recent years. We did see Liberation Maiden on 3DS, but that’s about it. Suda51 hasn’t put out any of his games on Wii U.

But what about the future? Suda51 did say “it’s a possibility” that his future titles will appear on Nintendo platforms while speaking with ExpansiveDLC. He also said the Big N is “always very important to us.”

Yeah of course, it’s a possibility. I guess we haven’t really announced anything yet for Wii U, but for 3DS we had Liberation Maiden.. consoles from Nintendo are always very important to us.

I still remember how, years ago, Suda51 was talking about bringing a new No More Heroes to Nintendo’s next-gen console. Wii U has been around for a year already – make it happen!

Wondering who directed The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds? That would be Hiromasa Shikata.

Shikata has worked on a bunch of Nintendo titles in the past – some of which may surprise you.

Shikata began making the backgrounds and fields of Zelda games, including Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, and Wind Waker. You may be interested to learn that he created the design of the Kakariko Village windmill in Ocarina of Time and a great deal of Wind Waker’s Forsaken Fortress.

Atlus is up to its teasing ways once more. However, the latest teaser is quite… odd. Atlus included the image above in a recent US email. It doesn’t seem to show much other than an ultrasound. What could the company be up to here?

Masahiro Sakurai is being recorded regularly while developing the new Smash Bros. games. A camera typically captures his words when he talks about editing and changes at work.

This may seem like a biazzare thing to do from an outside perspective. However, it’s all done in order to retain the accuracy of his orders.

Sakurai wrote in his weekly Famitsu column:

“It remains as an accurate recording. The people under supervision can check over and pick up things that would become blurred in something like a written memo.”

“Everything I say or talk about is recorded as is, but to be honest, it doesn’t feel very good. You know how most people don’t really like listening to [a recording of] their own voice?”
