Star Fox Zero devs thinking about co-op, more controller options

This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto…
On whether Nintendo would consider one-versus-one local ship battles for Star Fox Zero…
“It’s difficult to have two people playing when you need two screens to play for one person, so it’s definitely something that we’re thinking about. We basically created this game as one you need the GamePad to play, but there is a secret There is another option.”
Star Fox Zero co-director Yugo Hayashi also said:
“As one kind of variation, we were thinking about a co-op control scheme. Basically one person would control flying the Arwing and the other person would be aiming and shooting. This is something maybe parents and children could be doing together.”
– Hayashi said, in this case, you could have a skillful player piloting the Arwing
– The less skilled player would be targeting and shooting
– The main pilot would use a Wii remote and Nunchuck attachment to steer
– The team was also trying to support the Pro Controller
Reggie: Iwata didn’t apologize for the Nintendo Digital Event
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 30 Comments
This information comes from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime…
“It was not an apology. It was not a statement about the content we’re showing, essentially it was an ‘I hear you’ message.”
“Mr. Iwata is in Japan and what he’s trying to do is help explain to consumers in Japan what’s going on at E3. The correct translation of his message was: ‘Thank you for your feedback. We hear you and we are committed to continuing to meet your expectations,’ was essentially his message.”
“One of the things I find interesting is that if you look at E3 historically for Nintendo, typically what happens is a press briefing happens or our digital event happens, and then over the course of the next couple of days people see the games get to play the games and the appreciation and understanding of what we’re doing increases over those three days and continues to build into the holidays.”

Zelda: Tri Force Heroes – story, princess isn’t Zelda, unsure where it fits into the timeline
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
This information comes from Zelda: Triforce Heroes director Hiromasa Shikata…
On the story…
The story takes place in a world that is not Hyrule. It’s a kingdom that is sort of fashion-obsessed and in that kingdom, an event happens involving the princess of the kingdom –
On whether the princess is Zelda…
No. The king, of course, wants to solve this problem so he puts a general call out to the kingdom for heroes to assemble, and who answers the call, but Link and that’s the beginning of your adventure.
On where it fits into the Zelda timeline…
That’s a tough question. The Zelda timeline is “complicated” and if you look at the history of Zelda you will see there are three branches. I can’t really designate which one of those branches we’re looking at, but as far as the design itself, we looked to Link Between Worlds. But it’s not – as far as a timeframe – it’s not before or after. We haven’t really settled on that.
On whether it takes place in the same universe as a Link Between Worlds…
With the history of Zelda we have these three parallel worlds. I can’t say which one it’s on/in at this point.
– Play along two paper dolls called “dopples” in single-player
– Can’t play the game as two players and bring along a single paper doll dopple
– It’s either 3-player co-op or single-player
– If you want to play with only one other player, you can duke it out in the game’s coliseum mode
– Again, Download Play supported

Activision won’t be helping Nintendo out with amiibo manufacturing

This information comes from a USgamer article…
(Sadly, that’s as far as the partnership goes; Activision gave me a firm “no” when I asked if they’d be helping Nintendo bring their troubled Amiibo manufacturing processes up to speed.)
