Wouldn’t the world have been a sadder place had Koji Kondo decided to take on a profession other than composing video game music? We would have missed out some absolutely fantastic tunes, such as the main themes in Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. The legendary composer turned 50 today and has been with Nintendo for more than half of his life. Let’s hope he sticks around with the company for many more years to come!

Thanks to Robert for the tip!

“Typhoon 4. It looks like it won’t have an effect on the weekend. Thank goodness! However, my health is bad. Prior to TGS, we’ll have a big announcement (?) on Saturday or Sunday, so I must recover,” – Hideo Kojima’s twitter

If there’s one person whose games are always awesome, it’s Hideo Kojima, and by that watch, any announcement from him is more than welcome. I’m curious though: Will this be a new game, or something else? I guess we’ll find out this weekend!

First, here’s what Spector had to say about the 3DS…

“You know, if I talk about that, someone’s going to kill me, so we should move on (Laughter). I will say that we were backstage, and we were just so privileged to be part of the Nintendo press conference. That was absolutely one of the most fun things and coolest things I’ve ever done in my life. But anyway, we were backstage afterwards listening to the 3DS discussion and it’s like, we were just like getting more excited, cheering back there. Who knew it has a 3D camera? And you can watch 3D movies without glasses? I really expected him to say, ‘…and it tucks you into bed at night.’ It’s like, ‘holy cow, sign me up, I want the first one off the assembly line.’ It’s amazing, and I’m not getting paid to say that. As a gamer, I just want it bad.”

Spector was also asked if there are Disney characters besides Mickey he’d like to bring to the games medium…

“Oh, heck yeah. (Laughter)… Oh yeah… Don’t draw any conclusions. A day does not go by where I don’t tell somebody at Disney: ‘Gimme the ducks. Gimme the ducks! Uncle Scrooge, come on! Donald! Huey, Dewey, and Louie! Come on, let me do a duck game!’ So yeah, I would love to do a duck game. Uncle Scrooge is the coolest character, you know? He was Indiana Jones before Steven Spielberg was a gleam in his mother’s eye, you know? I mean, come on. He’s a great character.”

I feel like it’s only a matter of time before Warren Spector makes a 3DS title. He comes off sounding extremely excited each time he talks about the system. Who knows… Maybe he’ll bring Duck Tales to the handheld.
