Moore: Wii U is “a very exciting machine”, features “extensive” online capabilities
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
EA COO Peter Moore recently sat down with Famitsu to talk about all sorts of things, including the Wii U. Moore talked excitedly about the system and teased “extensive” online features for the console.
He said:
“It’s a very exciting machine and I’m glad to see it out there. I mean, a hi-def Nintendo platform! There’s nothing that could make me happier. Its online capabilities are really extensive, too, so we’ll be able to differentiate ourselves from the competition more easily with our sports lineup. We can’t announce anything yet, but what I can say is that Nintendo is a company that’s been producing new types of play culture for years. The 3DS and Wii U have taken on that DNA, so I really can’t wait to see what kind of new surprises are waiting for us.”
Mario Kart tidbits from Konno – no roster expansion, Mario Kart Wii U tease
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
The latest edition of Nintendo Power contains an interview with Mario Kart producer Hideki Konno. Most of the questions focus on Mario Kart 7, but he was asked about a couple of interesting things in particular.
First, the magazine asked if Nintendo has ever considered including characters from other franchises. Nintendo Power was implying that this would be similar to Smash Bros. In any case, don’t count on a roster expansion anytime soon. Konno said, “No, we’ve never seriously considered that.”
Konno was also quizzed on a Mario Kart title for Wii U. He all but confirmed that a new game in the series will be made for the console (surprise!), explaining that he would like “to create a new and enjoyable Mario Kart that uses the unique functions of the Wii U.”
“I can’t get into the specifics, but I do want to create a new and enjoyable Mario Kart that uses the unique functions of the Wii U. Anything beyond that I have to keep secret. Please bear with me for now!”

Aonuma explains why Ganon isn’t in Zelda: Skyward Sword
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
In July, producer Eiji Aonuma told Nintendo Power that Ganon wouldn’t be in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. His explanation was terse, only noting that the decision was made due to the fact that “the Triforce sort of takes on a different meaning and plays a different role in the story.”
In a new interview with IGN, Aonuma provided a more in-depth response.
He told the site:
“From early on we were thinking that this was going to be the earliest story in the Zelda series, and it didn’t really make sense for us to have Ganon appear in this game. Obviously he makes his first appearance later and that would kind of confuse things, and so in terms of determining, ‘well then what are we going to do with who the antagonist in this game is,’ the answer that we came up with is this kind of strange character, Ghirahim, somebody who you can’t really tell is a man or a woman.
“So he’s sort of this character throughout the game that you’re fighting against who plays the antagonist role but his ultimate goal is trying to revive a greater more evil being than himself. So, you know, that’s perhaps something that might later have connections to Ganon and things like that, but from early on in this game, we knew that that wasn’t going to be the focus with this story.”
