Update: Aaaaaand that’s it.
Super Mario 3D Land director Koichi Hayashida is speaking at GDC right now. I’ll keep this post updated with any quotes/tidbits/news throughout the event.
“We must strive to make others laugh with strange new ideas”
Mr. Hayashida is explaining all the trouble they went through to perfect the stereoscopic 3D in #SuperMario3D.
Mr. H is talking about how they used 3D illusions in #SuperMario3D
“It’s very important to let people play the game they want to.”
Satisfying both beginner and elite gamers is always challenging, which is why the first few worlds of #SuperMario3D were so easy!
“Enjoy everything!” – Mr. Hayashida

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Although Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem was well received by critics, the classic GameCube title never lit up the sales charts. Even so, Silicon Knights is open to making a sequel.
Silicon Knights head Denis Dyack provided the following response when asked if “it’s too much to ask” for a new Eternal Darkness game:
“I don’t think it is too much to ask. Certainly we love Eternal Darkness. It’s a project that’s near and dear to our hearts.”
Dyack went on to say that a sequel is “requested a lot by a lot of people” and that “anything’s possible.” He wasn’t willing to say what the studio is working on currently.

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, GameCube, General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
Mario Kart producer Hideki Konno was recently asked a series of questions about the franchise in an interview with IGN. Konno discussed how the roster and tracks are considered, making sure its still accessible when adding in new features, how and why Retro was brought in for Mario Kart 7’s development (though this was previously discussed in Iwata Asks), and more.
In terms of specific, interesting content divulged by Mario Kart’s head honcho, Konno stated that the team thought about adding in Wiggler for Mario Kart Wii, expressed uncertainty about the return of character specific abilities from Mario Kart: Double Dash, and how “the need to significantly change the Mario Kart series will arise if an innovation is developed that will enable more people to enjoy Mario Kart.”
All of Konno’s remarks can be found after the break.
