Square Enix has plans for more Crystal Chronicles games

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment

“Yes, we are going to keep making Crystal Chronicles titles. If this one does well, we would like to make one in a similar style alongside new multiplayer FF:CC games as well.” – Toshiyuki Itahana

I’ve been disappointed with the reaction to The Crystal Bearers. To me, it seems as though the title is being largely ignored and unappreciated…Which shouldn’t be, considering it bears a strong resemblance to Zelda titles.

Miyamoto tidbits – More talk of Zelda Wii art, story progression different than in Twilight Princess, more

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 4 Comments

Shigeru Miyamoto has released a bunch of details relating to Zelda Wii, Pikmin 3, and more.

– New Zelda game set in different era
– Reconfirmed that Link is older than he was previously, more towards adulthood
– NOT holding a sword in art shown at round table
– Story progression is “something completely different”
– “I think we do this with Mario and Zelda as well. When we are working on the plans for them, we are trying to come up with ways where we can satisfy our longtime fans and bring new players into the franchises as well. That’s something we’re always looking at. However, when I get involved in a title, I focus a lot on more experience and the more advanced gameplay elements. If I get into it, there’s a tendency for difficulty levels to ramp up so that’s something I really have to watch for myself to make sure that I don’t do that.”
– Miyamoto understands graphics expectations of Zelda Wii
– Basics of Pikmin 3 done, now team has to go in and fill the game out
– Interested in making a game with 2 remotes with MotionPlus
– Puppet team “still wants to work on” Mario puppet game
