Aonuma’s dream is for Miyamoto to tell him: “I couldn’t make a game like this”

Eiji Aonuma may be in charge of the Zelda series for the most part, but Shigeru Miyamoto is still around as a significant member of the team. In fact, Aonuma feels that Miyamoto is still “the most important user for the Zelda games before their release.”
Aonuma recently spoke about Miyamoto’s importance to the development of Zelda titles with ONM:
“I think that Miyamoto is the most important user for the Zelda games before their release. How he sees the games is a guide for us in terms of whether what we are making is any good, including whether it is right for Zelda, because users will be sure to judge them even more harshly after the release.”
Aonuma also discussed a dream of his – to hear Miyamoto say, “I couldn’t make a game like this.”
“A long time ago I came up with the phrase ‘upending the tea table’ for him, but recently there haven’t been any big upendings, so maybe that’s proof that I’ve come closer to his vision. My dream is to have Miyamoto say to me, ‘This is amazing. I couldn’t make a game like this,’ but there’s still a long way to go. I will keep trying my best.”

Awesomenauts not planned for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Awesomenauts isn’t currently planned for Wii U. Developer Ronimo Games explained to 4 color rebellion that the team simply doesn’t have enough resources. And so rather than taking on another version of Awesomenauts, the studio is looking to ensure that other versions of the game meet people’s expectations.
Romino wouldn’t rule out Awesomenauts for Wii U entirely, “but there are no plans for it right now.”
The company said:
“With regards to the WiiU, we currently don’t have plans to bring Awesomenauts to the platform. There is only so much we can work on at one time, and we rather focus on getting one thing done right, than end up with multiple things that didn’t quite get the attention they deserved. I can’t say that it will never happen, but there are no plans for it right now.”

Need for Speed: Rivals producer explains why the game isn’t coming to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Need for Speed: Rivals was never expected to come to Wii U based on some of the statements EA has made as of late. Still, NowGamer wanted an asked.
When asked why Rivals isn’t planned for Wii U, executive producer Marcus Nilsson explained:
“From an EA perspective, we look at different console strategies and different platforms and what makes sense for return of investment, what makes sense from tech development and also what do people want to work on. In this particular case, for Rivals at least, Wii U is not one of the platforms.”
After seeing how well Need for Speed: Most Wanted performed on Wii U from a technical standpoint, it’s a shame that the system will be missing out on Rivals. It would have been nice to see how this latest racer stacked up on Nintendo’s console.
