Remember the Blur commercial Activision put out a few weeks ago? You know, the one that was poking fun at Mario Kart. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was asked about it on the latest GameTrailers TV. Based on what he said, it doesn’t seem like he was too impressed.

“You know, God bless the folks at Activiison. They have a sense of humor. I do not…They are doing GoldenEye for us. You know what? Bobby and the team at Activision are fantastic partners, but no I don’t like my kids being picked at. I don’t think any proud parent would like their kids being picked at.”

Maybe this is just me, but I think people are making too big a deal out of this. Nintendo is probably just messing around with Mother fans!

Miyamoto: Vitality Sensor progressing well, doesn’t know about 3DS software installation, Pikmin 3 is a Wii game, more

Had enough of Miyamoto yet? I hope not! IGN has conducted a massive interview with him, which you can check out below.

Miyamoto on the Vitality Sensor’s absence…

“It’s actually progressing quite well. We could have shown it here at E3 if we wanted to, but the environment here isn’t really suited to that game. E3 is pretty exciting, and that’s a device that’s all about relaxation. So it’s just wasn’t the best time or place to show that game. But it is ready, so we’ll probably find another place that’s more suitable to announce it. But I’m not directly involved in that project.”

Nomura on Kingdom Hearts 3

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments

“If there will be a Kingdom Hearts 3 in the future, it will probably be on a console platform, but the thing is that there is the idea and desire to create Kingdom Hearts 3, but the opportunity has not come yet. I’m under pressure from fans, from Disney, and from the internal Square Enix team as well, because they’re all awaiting Kingdom Hearts 3. So I’m aware of it, and I don’t hide my desire for one day creating a Kingdom Hearts 3 in the future.” – Tetsuya Nomura

I don’t even know how Square Enix has time to work on all of these Kingdom Hearts titles! 358/2 Days was released in North America a few months ago as did Birth by Sleep in Japan (and it’s coming here in a few months with added content), and now Nomura is busy with Re:coded and 3D. Perhaps after those two titles are complete, Nomura can concentrate on Kingdom Hearts 3.

What does Miyamoto think of the competition?

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments

Shigeru Miyamoto, along with his translator Bill Trinen, decided to check out Kinect at E3. What did they think of the competition? Well, a picture taken of the two at E3 says a lot…

Miyamoto and Trinen are on the far left. Can’t see them well? Let’s zoom in a bit.

It’s actually funny how unamused both of them look. In fact, Mr. Trinen looks even more underwhelmed than Miyamoto! Then again, it’s probably just that the picture was taken at the most inopportune time…Ah, well, let’s zoom in once more on Miyamoto for good measure.

Thanks to L.P. for the tip!
