Miyamoto says Nintendo’s games were able to stand out from the bloody shooters at E3
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 75 Comments
Nintendo’s E3 2014 lineup was varied to say the least. We saw plenty of action titles. RPGs. A game that lets you make your own Mario levels. A colorful shooter.
Shigeru Miyamoto, speaking at Nintendo’s Annual Shareholders Meeting last week, said the company “looked very unique” and received positive reactions thanks to its variety of games. That’s in contrast to other titles at the show, which Miyamoto felt were mainly “bloody shooter software that was mainly set in violent surroundings or, in a different sense, realistic and cool worlds”.
Here’s Miyamoto’s comments in full:

Miyamoto talks more about Zelda Wii U’s “open world”, teases unannounced “ideas” for 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 2 Comments
At Nintendo’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders meeting last week, one investor asked when we will next see The Legend of Zelda for Wii U. Unfortunately, Shigeru Miyamoto wasn’t able to say, but he did speak more about the game in general terms. Miyamoto specifically discussed Zelda Wii U’s “open world” – a term that he personally doesn’t like to use when making software, “but we used this term in order to make it easier for consumers to understand.”
Miyamoto went on to discuss The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and how Nintendo started to change up the series’ formula with that game. And very interestingly, Miyamoto teased unannounced “ideas” for 3DS that he hopes fans will look forward to.

Miyamoto suggested Pac-Man inclusion for Smash Bros. Brawl, Sakurai thought it was “a little too farfetched”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 6 Comments
Pac-Man is joining the Super Smash Bros. series for the first time through the upcoming Wii U and 3DS games. However, it turns out that the classic character could have been included in the previous entry, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Masahiro Sakurai wrote in the latest issue of Famitsu that Pac-Man was a possibility for Brawl courtesy of a suggestion from Shigeru Miyamoto:
“During development of Smash Bros. Brawl, Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo approached me and asked, ‘Can’t we have Pac-Man as a guest character?’ At the time, imagining the image of Pac-Man and his incomplete pizza shape, I thought to myself, ‘Hmmm… That’s a little too farfetched.'”
Sakurai also mentioned in his column that coming up with character ideas for a Smash Bros. game may seem easy, but it takes a great deal of work to implement on the development side.

Yeti Boombox working on ManderZ Quest for the Wii U eShop
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Indie developer Yeti Boom is working on “ManderZ Quest” for the Wii U eShop. The title as well as the game itself are both a work in progress.
Below is an official overview of ManderZ Quest:
Due to a glitch in a game’s code, ManderZ and her friends have found themselves trapped inside a “GamerGirl Color” handheld gaming console. It’s up to you to save them!
Playing as ManderZ, you’ll work your way through 8 crazy, classic-style levels, defeating enemies, bosses, and ultimately fixing the glitch that sent them to this strange game world.
As a tribute to the Game Boy Color, ManderZ Quest features 8-bit graphics and music. The developer is making use of the same 4-color limitations, and is using the original 160×144 screen resolution as a base. Additionally, music is being composed on and recorded from an original Game Boy DMG-01.
ManderZ Quest is early on in development, so a release date won’t be coming any time soon. However, Yeti Boom has promised that the game will be a Wii U exclusive.
