Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
For awhile, Trauma Center was one of the top series on Nintendo platforms. Atlus put out several games on both Wii and DS before “ending” things in 2010 with Trauma Team.
The Trauma series has been on hiatus since. Artist Masayuki Doi, however, has interest in working on the next game. Doi contributed to almost all of the Trauma titles.
Speaking with Siliconera, Doi said:
“I’m passionate about the Trauma Center series too and I want to develop the next game, but right now my focus is on the Shin Megami Tensei series.”

Bethesda more or less rules out Wii U development
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Similar to the Wii, it doesn’t sound like Bethesda has any plans to support Wii U.
Bethesda VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines, speaking with Eurogamer, said that the company has “nothing announced in development for Wii U.” Hines wouldn’t share any specifics as to why Bethesda isn’t keen on the console, stating he’d “rather not go into that.”
Hines’ comments in full:
“We have nothing announced in development for Wii U. It’s not something that we’ve done anything for previously. I don’t even remember the last time we’ve done a Nintendo title. We don’t have anything now. Whether or not we would in the future is TBD. As for why, I guess I’d rather not go into that.”
Nintendo expanding EAD Tokyo team, Miyamoto on leveraging Retro and Next Level, more
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Yesterday we heard from Shigeru Miyamoto that Nintendo has “been working on what we can do to increase our internal staff in a way that will allow us to have more projects going at the same time”. One way in which Nintendo hopes to expand is through its EAD Tokyo team, the developers behind the Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D titles.
Miyamoto told IGN that he’s been collaborating with Yoshiaki Koizumi “on what we can do to allow the Tokyo studio to create more games.” Nintendo has already started to “gradually” increase that studio’s team.
“We’re doing this not by going out of house to different companies and having them develop games for us, but instead by working with partner companies and subsidiaries in a way that allows the Tokyo studio to run more projects.”

Nintendo bringing Pikmin 3 to World Hobby Fair ’13 in Japan
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo doesn’t typically have a large presence at the World Hobby Fair, and this year is no different. Only one game will be on display – Pikmin 3.
It would have been nice to see additional titles like Super Mario 3D World and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, but it’s better than nothing!
