Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Kotaku recently asked Zelda producer about which Nintendo franchise he’d like to work on next if given the opportunity.
We know one thing: it wouldn’t be Mario.
Aonuma told Kotaku that he’s “not any good at that type of jumping game.”
He was next suggested Pikmin. He believes that if he were to make a new entry in this series, it could turn into Zelda because he feels the two share some parallel idaes.
Here’s the full exchange between Aonuma and Kotaku:

Call of Duty is typically associated with the term “hardcore game”. However, you might be surprised to hear that a bulk of the series’ userbase isn’t actually made up of dedicated players.
OXM recently asked Infinity Ward’s executive producer Mark Rubin whether he anticipates the franchise’s audience staying the same after Call of Duty: Ghosts launches. He does believe this will be the case, as there are “an enormous amount of players who are more in the casual game space”. Rubin added that these types of players “aren’t hardcore gamers, or even gamers, but they play Call of Duty every night.”

Aonuma on A Link Between Worlds – stealth, Ravio, Nabbit comparisons, never considered for Wii U, more
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 10 Comments
Spike just recently put up an interview with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma. It’s filled with lots of questions about A Link Between Worlds, such as stealth elements, Ravio’s role, comparisons to New Super Mario Bros. U’s Nabbit, and whether it was ever considered for Wii U (nope). Aside from that, there are also some off-beat topics like localizing Marvelous: Another Treasure (directed by Aonuma many years ago).
You can find some excerpts from the interview below. Spike’s full piece is located here.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
Namco Bandai Europe has a whole bunch of new domains under its belt. Last month, the company registered shortpeace-game.com, tenkai-knights-game.com, wwvs-game.com, narutorevolution-game.com, pacmanghostlyadventures2.com, one-piece-unlimited-world-red.com, awakened-legends-game.com, and awakened-legends-vs.com.
Some of these domains are particularly noteworthy. The domain “pacmanghostlyadventures2.com” suggests Namco Bandai has interest in making a sequel to this month’s game, while “one-piece-unlimited-world-red.com” hints at an overseas release of the upcoming Japanese 3DS title.
