As is the case for development on most games, AlphaDream cut a number of ideas while working on Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. One such idea was a volcano Luigi attack – tons of little Luigis would take on a volcanic form, erupt, and attack enemies.

The idea may have “looked cool”, as Hiroyuki Kubota explained to Kotaku, “but it wasn’t going to control very well”.

“It was something that once we came up with the prototype for, played around a little bit. We realized it looked cool, but it wasn’t going to control very well, so that was something we had to strike out.”

To say that Mario & Luigi: Dream Team went through a difficult and length development cycle would be an understatement. The game was made between two platforms and went through seven versions over a four year process, right after Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story was completed.

Former Nintendo staffer discusses parallels between Wii U and GameCube eras

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 24 Comments

Some may say that the Wii U is on a similar path as the GameCube. Both consoles have sold comparably thus far. Nintendo has also struggled with its marketing efforts – another common element between the two.

Kyle Mercury, formerly a brand specialist, consultant, and technical director for U.S. Concepts and Nintendo of America, commented on the parallels between the Wii U and GameCube while speaking with NotEnoughShaders. You can see what he had to say after the break.

Rumor: Iron Man game was coming out this year, but Disney cancelled it

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Disney cancelled an unannounced Iron Man game earlier this year. The axed game was allegedly due out in 2013. The Wall Street Journal doesn’t provide any details about the project, so unless a leak occurs, we likely won’t know anything about the mystery Iron Man title.
