Kamiya initially thought Nintendo “would be very business-like” while Nintendo thought Kamiya was scary

Platinum Games and Nintendo teamed up for the first time while creating The Wonderful 101. Because the two companies didn’t have much contact in the past, both maintained certain assumptions about the other.
On Platinum’s side, director Hideki Kamiya thought Nintendo “would be very business-like” and was a bit surprised as to “how human” the company was. Meanwhile, according to Nintendo producer Hitoshi Yamagami, the Big N assumed Kamiya would be “scary”.
A discussion in the latest Iwata Asks goes into further detail about Nintendo and Platinum’s initial working relationship:

Band Brothers P teaser site open, a few details
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Nintendo opened a new teaser site for Band Brothers P today, which contains a few more details about the title. You can access it here.
Intelligent Systems, the same developer behind Fire Emblem, is working on Band Brothers P. The game’s website also indicates that Vocaloid synthesizer software is being used – the same tech involved with production of Vocaloid music for virtual pop-stars including Hatsune Miku.
As mentioned previously, Band Brothers P can take advantage of the 3DS camera to take a picture and the built-in microphone to record your voice. In turn, your very own Vocaloid will be created.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward suffered from a significant bug when it launched last year. All 3DS retail copies came with an issue that caused save corruption and game crashing.
Aksys finally published Virtue’s Last Reward on the eShop last week. As it turns out, this version comes without the bug. Now the question is: will the retail version finally be patched to address the glitch?
Level 5’s official Layton 7 and Wonder Flick overviews
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Level-5 International America followed up on the company’s Japanese “Vision” announcements made earlier today. Overviews of two new titles, Layton 7 and Wonder Flick, were provided in an official recap.
First, here’s what Level-5 said of Layton 7:
LAYTON 7 is a puzzle game for the new generation that follows in the footsteps of the PROFESSOR LAYTON series, which has now shipped over 15 million units worldwide. Players take on various character roles; you may be a taxi driver, a young boy, a dog, a fine lady, a philanthropist, an elderly man, or even a zombie. The player will earn points as they fulfill a given role. But, what is the role of these characters? And what is the greater meaning of these roles to begin with? The latest title in the LAYTON series is shrouded in mystery and is about to begin! The game is being developed for Nintendo 3DS and iOS / Android devices as part of our UNIPLAY line-up. Release date has yet to be determined.
And here’s Wonder Flick:
WONDER FLICK is the latest full-scale role-playing game from LEVEL-5 and the inaugural UNIPLAY title. The production team consists of Akihiro Hino, who developed the concept and leads the project as producer / director, character designers Takuzo Nagano and Nao Ikeda, and musical compositions by Nobuo Uematsu, world-renowned for his contributions to game orchestrations. The player, “the fortunate one,” washes ashore in Grimnarth, a world that everyone dreamed of, yet no one has ever seen – an enormous land, scattered with dungeons and towns. A land where a monarch seeks aid in order to save his kingdom. A world of peril, where monsters and kings among dragons await. Where the success or failure of a journey depends on the deft execution of skills in critical moments, and fortunes are made from the rare treasures sealed in their chests. A wealth of equipment to customize one’s hero. The borrowing and lending of friends and their characters to form alliances. Everything that defines a traditional RPG is found in WONDER FLICK – the most sprawling yet accessible original fantasy RPG in the history of LEVEL-5. The game is planned for release in November 2013 on iOS and Android devices in Japan. Console releases (PS Vita / PS3 / PS4 / WiiU / Xbox One) are scheduled for 2014 in Japan.
