Pokemon X and Y may feature 3D visuals, but it isn’t a reboot in the slightest. Pokemon Company International director of consumer marketing J.C. Smith says that these latest games simply represent “new things and express the world in a new way.”

“There’s never been a conscious decision to reboot.

So it feels like it’s been a long time in the same way. But between the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color, and moving up into the DS now, it’s always had that change. There’s never been a conscious decision to reboot, it’s just a decision to try new things and express the world in a new way.”

A few key Retro Studios staffers left the company in 2008 and went on to form Armature Studio. Since then, it has only produced one game – Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for Vita.

Famitsu teases huge Capcom project, long-awaited secret title

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments

Famitsu’s teasers have generally turned out to be disappointing as of late. This latest one is a real doozy, though.

At the end of the current magazine, Famitsu promises two big scoops for next week’s issue. The first is some sort of “huge Capcom project”. The second, slightly less clear, is a long-awaited game that has been kept quiet. Next week, “information on that title becomes clear at last.”
