Nintendo engineer lists next-gen, unannounced consoles on LinkedIn profile
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 53 Comments
Lu Yang, a principal test engineer at Nintendo, has listed “next generation (unannounced) consoles” on his LinkedIn profile. For what it’s worth, Yang previously worked at Microsoft and spent a few years as a software development engineer for Windows Phones.
Here’s the full blurb:
Nintendo
February 2014 – Present (1 year 3 months)Redmond
Platform Tools for current (Wii U) and next generation (unannounced) consoles.
Obviously we know that NX is on the way, so perhaps what’s listed on Yang’s profile isn’t too surprising. We’ll be hearing more about that system next year!

Update 4: You can now order the Splatoon 3-pack.
Update 3: Wario in stock.
Update 2: Inkling Girl gone.
Update: Pac-Man out of stock.
Walmart is taking pre-orders for a few of the upcoming amiibo. You can reserve the Pac-Man figure along with the Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl amiibo at the moment.
Apparently, Walmart put up pre-orders for Lucina and a few other amiibo in the very early hours this morning. I really don’t understand why retailers continue to do these sorts of things at crazy times!

Nintendo has been searching for a new PR Agency in the UK for a little while now and it seems that they have now found a new agency to work with. Pretty Green has been selected to handle the PR for Nintendo in the UK, replacing its previous agency 77PR. Pretty Green’s client roster includes; Nando, Virgin Media, and John Lewis. Their first big focus will be Splatoon as it is gearing up for launch soon.
Nintendo UK’s Jo Bartlett, Head of Communications said this of the new partnership:
We’re excited to be welcoming the PrettyGreen team into the Nintendo family. They’ve shown themselves to be creative and strategic in their thinking and we’re looking forward to working with them to deliver some fantastic campaigns for both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS in the months to come.
Pretty Green’s founder, Mark Stringer stated:
As an Agency we have a reputation for helping brands define and redefine creative culture and Nintendo is one of the most iconic brands out there; few can lay claim to having played such a consistent role in providing worldwide family entertainment for so long! It’s great to be embarking on a new journey with the Nintendo Team at such an exciting time for the brand.

Update: More emails – Sony was pursuing a Smash Bros. movie
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 35 Comments
Update 2: Bumped to the top. Another email has been found. Arad said in one message that Keiko Erikawa, one of the founders of Koei Tecmo, was “instrumental to the Mario deal” – likely because of her relationship with Nintendo.
Update: We’ve posted a couple of other email exchanges below. It sounds like Sony was interested in Nintendo’s full stable of IPs!
You may remember that, last year, there was talk about Sony securing the rights to a Mario movie. That news came about due to a leak within Sony – specifically emails between top executives within the company and producer Avi Arad.
As it turns out, Sony wasn’t just interested in Mario. WikiLeaks has now obtained emails which reveal that the company was very much interested in creating a Smash Bros. movie as well. It seems that Arad would have been involved with this film, too.
Just like the Mario movie, specific details are not available at this time. There’s a good chance that both projects will never happen!
