Being a left-handed gamer isn’t so easy. A lot of titles don’t accommodate such users too well, making it difficult to play.

This is something that Shigeru Miyamoto seems to understand. And he told Kotaku that he’ll talk to his teams about seeing what can be done.

Miyamoto stated:

The creation of Mario Maker isn’t exactly traditional. Nintendo’s Takashi Tezuka originally set out to make a new Mario Paint game for Wii U that would leverage the GamePad.

Partway through, Tezuka changed his mind and the project we know of today became Mario Maker. He believed that creating Mario courses is much easier than drawing and would be more accessible.

Tezuka told NintendoWorldReport:

“So what I particularly like about Mario Paint is that it’s not just about drawing. It’s playing with the software itself and having fun with it as you draw. So I wanted to take those fun, clever little things from Mario Paint and implement them in Mario Maker, so it’s a lot more than just a course editor.”

As previously mentioned, Mario Maker came about from Nintendo’s internal Mario course editing tools. The team eventually created a prototype that they felt would be enjoyable for gamers.

Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney won’t be out until August in North America, but if you pre-order the game now, you can save a bit of cash. Amazon and GameStop both have the game available for $32 as opposed to $40. It’s unclear how long the offer will last, so take advantage while you can!

There’s been a bit of confusion surrounding how Nintendo will be distributing Bayonetta 1 when Bayonetta 2 releases. We initially heard that this offer would only be available with retail copies in the states, though it was later clarified that the eShop release is also included.

And yesterday, Nintendo revealed that Bayonetta 2 would indeed ship with a separate disc in Japan. This seems to be the case in Europe as well.

Check out this excerpt from Amazon UK’s Bayonetta 2 listing:

Bayonetta comes packed in with the purchase of every retail packaged version of Bayonetta 2.

At this point, I have no clue what’s happening. Hopefully Nintendo will make things absolutely clear soon.
