Suda51 says his games are possible for Nintendo platforms, Big N is “always very important to us”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 5 Comments
Suda51’s games haven’t been on Nintendo platforms in recent years. We did see Liberation Maiden on 3DS, but that’s about it. Suda51 hasn’t put out any of his games on Wii U.
But what about the future? Suda51 did say “it’s a possibility” that his future titles will appear on Nintendo platforms while speaking with ExpansiveDLC. He also said the Big N is “always very important to us.”
Yeah of course, it’s a possibility. I guess we haven’t really announced anything yet for Wii U, but for 3DS we had Liberation Maiden.. consoles from Nintendo are always very important to us.
I still remember how, years ago, Suda51 was talking about bringing a new No More Heroes to Nintendo’s next-gen console. Wii U has been around for a year already – make it happen!

Wondering who directed The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds? That would be Hiromasa Shikata.
Shikata has worked on a bunch of Nintendo titles in the past – some of which may surprise you.
Shikata began making the backgrounds and fields of Zelda games, including Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, and Wind Waker. You may be interested to learn that he created the design of the Kakariko Village windmill in Ocarina of Time and a great deal of Wind Waker’s Forsaken Fortress.

Shikata also contributed to the first Pikmin, Geist, and Nintendo Land before eventually moving on to A Link Between Worlds.
Latest Atlus teaser involves an ultrasound
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Atlus is up to its teasing ways once more. However, the latest teaser is quite… odd. Atlus included the image above in a recent US email. It doesn’t seem to show much other than an ultrasound. What could the company be up to here?
