Capcom’s Hironobu Takeshita, the producer of Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure, has strong interest in making a sequel.
Takeshita was quizzed about the possibility of a follow-up in an interview with Nintendo Power. Additionally, he was asked if there has been any consideration as to how a second game would play like on the 3DS.
Takeshita told the magazine:
“I have a great deal of interest in doing a sequel. It’s one of several IPs that I want to return to. As for Nintendo 3DS…it would be fun if people could play and solve puzzles together.”
Zack & Wiki was a critical hit, but it was not a financially successful game for Capcom. As a result, the company has been hesitant to revisit the IP.

No Nintendo Direct for North America after all

This is rather odd. Nintendo of Japan is getting a Nintendo Direct with their president. So is Europe. North America, though? Nothing!
However, Nintendo of America will be providing updates on something at 11:30 PM EST. There will be news tonight and through the weekend.
IGN’s Rich George tweeted:
“Nintendo: ‘While there will not be a video specific to North America, we will be revealing info this evening and through the weekend.’ …That is shortened from NOA statement. Because… Twitter. But the gist is – no video but an announcement and some via Nintendo social.”

Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai wants you to watch today’s Japanese Nintendo Direct broadcast. That’s because there will be some sort of news for Kid Icarus: Uprising. And yes, people are still speculating that there will be something Kirby-related on the show. I personally wouldn’t count on it, but you never know…
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy developer head Masanobu Suzui has also advised his Twitter followers to watch the live-stream.
