Kingdom Hearts 3D
– Nintendo was very interested in getting Kingdom Hearts on the 3DS
– KH3DS started because of Nintendo’s interest and because Tetsuya Nomura believed he could make use of the system’s features
– Takes place in the same time frame as the other titles
– Play as Sora and Riku
– Switch between the two characters while you play, Nomura says this will be central to the gameplay systems
– Nomura will take advantage of 3D
– Nomura said the team is thinking about “falling” for using the 3D
– Nomura wants to make “A KH you can touch, a falling Sora, and a flying Riku.”
– Trust is a theme
– By trusting others, you can do things that you couldn’t do on your own

Sakurai trying to prevent eye strain in Kid Icarus, sees 3D Wii as a possibility
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Sakurai on his involvement with the 3DS…
“The first discussions were with Mr Iwata (the head of Nintendo) in July 2008. And I was asked to create a game specifically for the platform. But at the time I didn’t have any staff so started hiring and created Project Sora and was able to start development in May 2009.”
Sakurai on whether he influenced the development of the 3DS…
“I made a lot of suggestions from very early stages on until now. Early on, Nintendo were soliciting lots of feedback from within the company and from me. And I had very specific requests from Mr Iwata in regard to what my ideal picture of the device was, etc.”
Capcom explains why Okamiden is DS-only
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 3 Comments
“The distinctive feature of the Celestial Brush is just screaming out to be realised on the DS touch screen. I think it’s only natural that Okamiden was designed for DS. …Showing such diverse, sensitive colours that were seen in the original Okami was one tough task indeed. However, it was rather fortuitous for Capcom to have plenty of talented programmers and graphic designers that they have put everything into this title and recreated that very experience on the DS.” – Motohide Eshiro, the producer of Okamiden
Even though Okamiden takes place a few months after the original, Eshiro has said that this game is more of a sidestory than it is a true sequel. So I wonder if it would be possible to continue the “Okamiden series” on handhelds (3DS, anyone?) while Okami continues on consoles. I have to admit – As cute as Chibiterasu is, I will miss Ammy quite a bit!
