Masuda on the possibility of Black/White 3, 3DS interest, not big on new Pokemon Snap
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
A few more quotes from Pokemon Black/White 2 producer Junichi Masuda can be found below.
Masuda answered questions about a possible Black/White 3 game, discussed his interest in the 3DS, and commented on a request to make another Pokemon Snap for Wii U. Sadly, it doesn’t sound like he’s interested, but he did tease Black/White 2 for the console – sounds like he was joking about that one!
Capcom has high forecasts for Ace Attorney 5, “AAI2 isn’t being held hostage”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Ace Attorney 5 is coming to North America and Europe. What does that mean for Ace Attorney Investigations 2?
Capcom’s Christian Svensson acknowledged that strong sales of AA5 “certainly can’t hurt” the possibility of AA2 localization. He also said that higher sales for upcoming game compared to the company’s internal forecasts would help the franchise.
Svensson went on to speak about the “aggressive” forecasts for Ace Attorney 5.
“AAI2 isn’t being held hostage so please don’t read this that way but if they do well, they certainly can’t hurt. Justification for higher forecasts via stronger than expected sales in the franchise would be helpful.
“Bear in mind… the forecasts for AA5 I’ve put in are aggressive (high) relative to the historical performance of the franchise (needed to make sure it came over), so I’m counting on you guys to not make me a liar.”

Masuda on the decision to make Black/White 2, why it’s on the DS, fully polygonal Pokemon, MMO, more
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Game Informer has conducted a very interesting interview with Pokemon Black/White 2 producer Junichi Masuda. The full discussion is made up of topics that Pokemon fans are actually interested in: why GameFreak decided to make the sequel, why it’s on the DS, the possibility of a fully polygonal Pokemon, the possibility of a MMO (doesn’t sound it’ll be happening!), changing battle cries, and Masuda’s thoughts on making the battle system more fast-paced.
Head past and break for Masuda’s comments.
