“There was an era when Nintendo was going in the direction of doing the same things other companies did. The more we competed with new companies entering the market, the more we started acting similar to them. But is being number one in that competition the same as being number one with the general public? That’s the question we had. Entertainment is something that you have to look at the world with a very wide eye as you create it. I always thought that, but there were a few years where I was unable to get off other people’s trends. It was a dilemma in my mind.

I was endlessly fascinated with 3D worlds, but what with all the issues I had to tinker with in terms of rendering and processing speed, it got to the point where I didn’t know who was making the games any longer.

This is a job where you have a plan and you polish it endlessly while getting help from others. If Nintendo’s games fail to stand out as games that aren’t made that way proliferate, then it shows that the creation process is for nothing, which made me very sad. That was especially obvious during the GameCube era; Nintendo titles were hardly even discussed by the [non-gaming] general public back then.” – Shigeru Miyamoto

The GameCube era wasn’t actually too terrible in terms of quality content and innovation. Chibi Robo, Geist, and Pikmin were all created during that the console’s lifecycle. In terms of originality, we haven’t seen too many cult classics from Nintendo like we did during the GameCube era.

There’s a lot of questions here…Will this end up on Wii? And if so, will it be a WiiWare title? WayForward has certainly had there hands full with a number of Wii games lately – mainly LIT and the ongoing development of A Boy and His Blob.

Midway has been able to hold on to the Mortal Kombat series for almost 20 years, but now the company is looking to part ways. Documents show that the publisher is looking for “execution of an asset purchase agreement for the sale of Midway’s Mortal Kombat franchise assets”. Midway has apparently withheld $3,755,000 in employee payments in bonuses for those who offload Wheelman and the rights to the Mortal Kombat franchise.

Back in 2002, Nintendo had sent out an interactive tech demo featuring Peach’s Castle to certain developers. Essentially, the point of the demo was to display the graphical capabilities of the GameCube. In each room, a different graphical effect is present.
