Cliff Bleszinski impressed with Nintendo’s showing at E3
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 6 Comments
“I could beat the Microsoft drum the whole time, or mention Deus Ex, I’m a big fan of that and it’s a genre that’s wide open. I dusted off my Wii for Mario Galaxy 2 and I’m hoping to keep the dust off it. But I think Nintendo’s back. Nintendo’s had an affair with everybody’s mom. They’ve come back to marriage of the Mario and Kirby and the Goldeneye fans, and for me that’s good to see because I dusted off my Wii for Mario Galaxy 2 and I’m hoping to keep the dust off it.”
Perhaps this is just me, but I don’t think Nintendo left in the first place! I never understand gamers who say they have to dust off their Wii…There have been so many titles that I’ve been interested in that I’ve had to be selective about which games I purchase.

Capcom resurrecting classic franchises
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
This information comes from Capcom’s European senior director of marketing Michael Pattison…
“Capcom is very proud of its multi-million selling established franchises such as Resident Evil, Street Fighter and Monster Hunter. But we’ve also got some other franchises in our locker which we’re going to re-establish on the global stage in the near future. We’re not going to rest on our laurels and even with established franchises we’re going to try new things. We have quite a few surprises up our sleeves as we look to bring back some much-loved brands, create new ones and innovate with our existing line-up. I believe our fans will be happy with what we’re planning.”
Capcom recently stated that they have a few surprises up their sleeves for E3. Because of that, the chances are high that we’ll see one of the games that Pattison was referring to. The question is, will any of these classic franchises land on the Wii or DS? Or even the 3DS?

Mikami believes Japanese RPGs were never really popular in the west
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
“I think it is because Japanese RPGs were really never all that popular in the west to begin with. I think the best way of interpreting things is that they aren’t getting less popular; they weren’t very popular from the start.” – Shinji Mikami
Personally, it seems like there has always been a good chunk of gaming fans who’ve always enjoyed playing Japanese games in that genre. And I know of at least one RPG franchise that has been pretty popular for as long as I can remember…Final Fantasy!
Thanks to Robert for the tip!

Rumor: Nintendo has an E3 surprise
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 7 Comments
This information comes from a Game Informer news article…
“Rumor also has it that Nintendo’s stocking a surprise for its E3 presentation. We’ve heard about the 3DS and some sites report that the next major Zelda game is confirmed — so what else could it possibly be? A new Star Fox?”
In a way, I suppose this isn’t really a rumor at all. Nintendo always brings a few surprises to E3, good or bad. The 3DS will be a surprise in itself and I’m betting we’ll see some unexpected software for the system.
