Brian, Author at Nintendo Everything

“A young adult story with a taste of boy-meets-girl. Lately it feels like all I’ve been doing are games full of devastation, like where your hometown burns down at the start, or the spaceship you’re riding crashes(oh wait, that is all I ever do). Sometimes I just wanna try something different!
I want to make something that people can look back on fondly one day as something that really shaped their lives. Something like what I loved as a boy, like Oliver!(by Carol Reed) and Galaxy Express 999(by Rintaro).
— That’s why I started working on this game.
I’ll leave the stories about the solemn old men and hot stylish guys to someone else(even though there’s way more demand for that stuff), and go ahead with this.

Miyamoto – Mario Odyssey not influenced by Zelda, letting Mario evolve, keeping old games alive

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 1 Comment

This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto…

On whether Super Mario Odyssey was influenced by Zelda: Breath of the Wild…

Miyamoto: I think starting with myself, there is an underlying philosophy that goes across Nintendo. For example, the Mario team and the Zelda team are in two different places – one is in Kyoto, one is in Tokyo – so they don’t have direct communication. But the people who are leading that and organizing that have this underlying philosophy that they have a pretty direct connection with myself.

In terms of Breath of the Wild and Odyssey, honestly if we were to have waited until the success of Breath of the Wild to make Odyssey it would have been too late. So it’s not that they influenced each other. I think what I did with both teams was when I touched any of the prototypes or tests that they would bring me, I would try to make sure that it feels good, and that it feels good being in that world, and that’s what I did for both teams. That was my role.

Miyamoto and Ubisoft on Mario + Rabbids – origins, Mario’s gun, “some extra content” later, leaks

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 3 Comments

This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto and Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot…

On how the game came to be…

Shigeru Miyamoto: It started out when launching Just Dance in Japan – and the idea to have Mario in there. Ubisoft has provided a lot of support for [Nintendo] hardware and they understand how it works. They’ve made products which are very satisfactory and fit the market we’re shooting for. We’ve had a relationship now for over 20 years, but this is the first time we’re operating at the level where we’re sharing characters.

In terms of major games in both companies – Ubisoft has Rayman, it’s a similar sort of platformer. We thought about ways of collaboration and then Rabbids came up – and that them collaborating with Mario might be a fun idea. We also wanted to create a new genre with this collaboration.

Layton’s Mystery Journey details – episode 02, characters, more

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 0 comments

“Episode 02” is titled “Song of A Certain Love: Riverside Festival.”
The big Riverside Festival in London was about to begin. It is an event where two young people confess their love from the opposite sides of River Thames. According to the legend that became the origin of this event, there was once a man and woman suffering from unrequited love, and after confessing that love on the opposite sides of the river, each met an unnatural death.
However, during the week of the Riverside Festival, an incident occurs where two young people are really killed on the opposide sides of the river just ahead of the “Riverside Confession Show” on the last day of the event.
The town is in an uproar, but ironically since the scene of the death was so close the legend, it made the festival more exciting as a result.
