This information comes from the latest Iwata Asks…
Iwata: Today, your name is always mentioned in the same breath as The Legend of Zelda, but before then, you did a variety of work.
Aonuma: Yes.
Iwata: About the time you had just joined the company, we worked together.
Aonuma: That’s right! (laughs) Unfortunately, though, the game we made together never made it out into the world. I spent a lot of time developing games with external companies. But I really wanted to develop inside Nintendo. I pestered Miyamoto-san about it and he said, “We don’t have enough people for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, so come on in for a spell.” Of those of us here today, I joined the project last.

The image above was embedded in a flash file on Monolith Soft’s official website. The picture is actually the same image as the one posted months ago featuring Yasuyuki Honne in front of a computer:
Some fans are speculating that the project is Baten Kaitos related. I’m a huge fan of that franchise and would welcome another sequel, but I am a bit doubtful that they would work on another entry since the sales of the first two games weren’t particularly impressive.
Robin and Zelda Williams discuss… Zelda!

Update: Bumping this to the front page since the original embedded video wasn’t working. It should appear now!
It’s almost weird to me seeing Robin Williams talking about video games this much. I’m used to watching him in his films… like Mrs. Doubtfire. That’s still an amazing movie, by the way!

Since these concerns will also be performed throughout North America and Europe, specific sites for those territories should open soon. We’ll let you know when they’re live!
Reggie shares a few details about the Zelda concerts this fall
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
At Nintendo’s E3 2011 media briefing, Shigeru Miyamoto announced that Nintendo will be hosting a series of concerts this fall to celebrate Zelda’s 25th anniversary. According to Reggie Fils-Aime, these concerts will be held in Japan, Europe, and North America.
Although he wasn’t able to make a guarantee, Reggie said that events in Canada “should be do-able”. However, concerts in Latin America aren’t likely.
A soundtrack CD will be made available sometime in the future.

Sakurai: Capcom character could appear in next Smash Bros.
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 16 Comments
This information comes from Masahiro Sakurai…
“I can’t say that it’s entirely out of the realm of possibility that some Capcom character could appear in the next Smash Bros. The big problem, though, comes from the idea of trying to get characters from a completely different universe to fit with the style that has been dictated by Nintendo’s characters in a fighting game. In fact, I actually think it’s a miracle that we got Smash Bros. and all the Nintendo characters to work together in the first place. Especially when you bring Pokemon into the mix and a lot of the complications that are caused by that being an almost completely different entity on its own, it’s really something. So this is something that obviously will come up more as we get started on the new Smash Bros. development, but keeping those things in mind I think is important.”
It’ll be very interesting to see how many third-party characters show up in the next Smash Bros. games. Right now, we don’t even know if Snake and Sonic will be returning!
