Did you know that the first The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony concert was held in Japan yesterday? Well, it’s true! A couple of shows were held on Monday. Shigeru Miyamoto, Eiji Aonuma, and Koji Kondo were all present at the event.
Unfortunately, those who attended the concert were not allowed to snap any photos. We do, however, have some images of the hall’s outside as well as pictures of the snazzy program that was handed out.
Kojima hopes Metal Gear Solid continues after he dies, also wants to make something new
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Hideo Kojima has been involved with the Metal Gear Solid franchise for over two decades. He’s managed to sneak in development on some other IPs such as Zone of the Enders, but he always finds himself coming back to Metal Gear.
In some ways he doesn’t mind this, though Kojima has also expressed interest in working on something new.
While Kojima was speaking at USC earlier this week, Kojima stated that he “would love to have the Metal Gear Solid series continue” after he dies and that he will continue to work on Metal Gear Solid if fans want to see new titles in the series.
“First of all, I just want to say that as long as there are fans who want Metal Gear Solid, as a producer, I will always want to still make them and I want the series to continue. So even after I die, I still would love to have the Metal Gear Solid series continue.
“But as a creator, of course, I want to do something new, and I don’t want to be limited to Metal Gear forever, right? So of course I have tried in the past. I’ve tried to hand Metal Gear off to other people within the studio and I’ve tried to raise people up so they have the ability to take over. And I think since Metal Gear Solid 3 I’ve tried this and actually did hand it off and have other people come up with the story and come up with the game design. But for some reason it just never really works out. And, you know, I end up having to step in again to take charge and kind of fix things here and there and just get sucked back in unfortunately.”

Visceral Games hiring for a Dead Space project on PS3, 360, and a third mystery platform
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Visceral Games is hiring a Senior Environment Artist for a position relating to the Dead Space franchise. The listing has been spotted on CreativeHeads.
The interesting part of this news is that the artist will immediately start work on a project for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and an “unannounced” platform. There have been Dead Space 3 rumors flying around recently… and Wii U could handle that title with ease. Perhaps EA intends to develop a port for the upcoming console.
The only question is, would EA consider bringing a second Dead Space game to a Nintendo console? Dead Space Extraction completely bombed on Wii, though to be fair, it was an on-rails shooter and wasn’t what fans had expected. At the same time, there’s no denying that Extraction was a high-quality title.
Ultimately we don’t even have a confirmation that this is Dead Space 3-related, nor do we know that the “unannounced” platform is Wii U. They’re strong assumptions, but in the end they are just guesses!
Thanks to Jake for the tip!

Suda51 teases No More Heroes announcement for 2012, 3DS/Vita game “would be interesting”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Since No More Heroes launched on Wii a number of years ago, the franchise has made an appearance on other platforms. Grasshopper has never tried making a game in the franchise for a portable system, however.
Could that change in the future? The short answer is possibly.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Grasshopper CEO Goichi Suda stated that No More Heroes is “one of the most important IPs” for the company. He also provided a coy response when asked if the franchise will move to the 3DS or Vita.
“Lots of things are being cooked up, but I can’t really say much right now. As far as No More Heroes is concerned I consider it one of the most important IPs we have at Grasshopper and hopefully we can announce something for this series next year. I’m sure [series protagonist] Travis is not having a good time being missed, with no announcement this year! …Hmm. Hmmm. That (No More Heroes on 3DS or Vita) *would* be interesting… (with a smile)”
Yuji Naka says platforms from the major console manufacturers may not exist in ten years
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Yuji Naka…
“I think ten years later, the various consoles and platforms from Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony may not exist. Instead of buying specific hardware perhaps everything will migrate to software based systems like PC, iOS, and Android.”
Even though SNS and smartphone games have been on the rise, I just can’t imagine a future without Nintendo consoles in particular. Where would we get out Mario and Zelda fix?!
