“Yes, we learned a lot by developing Puddle on Wii U, and it will be definitely helpful for the future and our next titles on Wii U!”
Chipot-Delys was also asked about the possibility of 3DS support. He said:
“I cannot tell you more for the moment, but it is a possibility…amongst a lot of others!”

Nintendo has posted another round of character art and details from Fire Emblem: Awakening. The latest information covers Kellam, Sumia, Lon’qu, and Donnel. A rundown of each character is below, along with art.
Kellam
Kellam is our Fire Emblem Awakening character spotlight for today. He is a Shepherd whose infamous lack of presence makes him seem invisible to others.
Sumia
Sumia from Fire Emblem Awakening is a klutzy Shepherd with a lack of self-worth. She has a talent for working with animals.
Lon’qu
Lon’qu from Fire Emblem Awakening is a swordsman raised in Regna Ferox. He’s usually cool and curt with most people.
Donnel
Donnel is our Fire Emblem Awakening spotlight today. A villager from a remote corner of Ylisse, Donnel came to the fight with just his farming experience but he is eager to learn and shows a great deal of promise.

Tales producer on avoiding westernization with the series, Japanese devs going back to their roots
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Some Japanese developers have unsuccessfully produced video in order to appeal to western gamers. The staff behind Namco Bandai’s Tales franchise, however, has avoided this path.
Series producer Hideo Baba told Shacknews that he and his team “really try to look within ourselves and try to improve ourselves” instead of “trying to copy Western developers”:
Baba said:
“With regards to the Tales franchise, we’ve never made an effort to ‘westernize’ it. We feel that Western developers are good at certain things, while Japanese developers are good at other things. Rather than us trying to copy Western developers, we really try to look within ourselves and try to improve ourselves. The Tales franchise has been a personal struggle to better ourselves and the franchise.”
Baba also spoke a bit about Japanese game development overall:
“I feel like a lot of Japanese developers, especially ourselves, we’ve really taken an effort to go back to our roots. We look at what we started with and what we’re good at, and we really tried to make an effort to strengthen what our foundations are.”
