SimTower, Seaman, and Odama creator Yoot Saito delivered a talk at Reboot Develop 2018 yesterday. During the session, he revealed something entirely new that we hadn’t heard about previously.
Many years ago, Saito was involved with a Nintendo DS game codenamed Mario Motors. He was actually quite close with late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata as well as Shigeru Miyamoto, and during the early 2000s, the three would “chat over tea casually” and game ideas.

LEGO Worlds’ Survivor DLC put on hold, dev planning many “enhancements and features”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Last year, TT Games unveiled free Survivor DLC for LEGO Worlds. It was intended to have players going up against the elements and hunt for resources as they build a boat to escape from an island.
Nearly a year later, that DLC has been put on hold. TT Games says the team is instead “focused on enhanced the LEGO Worlds experience in other areas.” Speaking of which, players can expect “enhancements to the tutorials and controls as well as “loads of other enhancements and features”.
