Have you ever wondered how Nintendo came up with the concept of Poochy? For those unaware, this dog often appears in the Yoshi games.

During a Treehouse Live @ E3 2015 segment for Yoshi’s Woolly World, Nintendo’s Takahashi Tezuka stated that Poochy’s inspiration came from a dog that he owned. This dog had the same name, funnily enough.

Tezuka’s involvement is certainly heavy in Yoshi’s Woolly Word, especially from an audio standpoint. He actually learned how to play guitar specifically for the game. He then made sure to create new music for all of the levels.

This information comes from Metroid Prime producer Kensuke Tanabe when if Metroid Prime Federation Force is the only Metroid Prime game he’s working on…

“I said this at the beginning, but I’m not involved in the 2D Metroid games that Mr. Sakamoto works on. I still feel like there’s a little more work left for me to do in the Metroid Prime series. I can’t say when, but I want to make another one.

– Tanabe reminded IGN about the ending of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
– After Samus’s ship flies off into the distance, another ship suddenly appears
– He said that players Metroid Prime Hunters should recognize that the ship belongs to a bounty hunter called Sylux.

“He’s actually chasing after Samus, and that’s where that game ends. There’s still more I want to build around the story of Sylux and Samus. There’s something going on between them. I want to make a game that touches upon [it].”

“I’m also thinking that, in that eventual game between Sylux and Samus that might get made, that I wants to involve the [Galactic] Federation as well. So it would be a good idea to release a game like Federation Forces to flesh out its role in the galaxy before moving on to that.”
