In an interview with ONM, Linzner delivered encouraging sentiments that the console is easy to develop for and its power can be utilized properly. He said that the studio was able to easily run a fairly complex game world containing “thousands of animated objects”.

According to Linzner:

“The Wii U hardware has a great architecture and, most importantly, it is easy for developers to utilise its power. For instance, we have a very action-heavy game with literally thousands of animated objects, but had no problems rendering the complete gameworld, twice, for the Wii U controller display in two-player mode.”

Linzner later made a suggestion for Nintendo. He feels that the company should re-release Wii software for the new console in HD. These games, Linzer believes, “would look and play better than many current titles.”

“You could easily take many original Wii titles from Retro Studios or Nintendo and release them again in HD and they would look and play better than many current titles. I believe that the most important resource in game development is the developers, rather than the actual hardware.”

Pokemon Conquest confirmed for Europe, release date

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments

Given Nintendo of Europe’s recent track record with game localizations, it was strange to see that Pokemon Conquest hadn’t been announced for the UK or any other territory.

However, NOE has today confirmed that the DS title will be released in European territories. And believe it or not, it’ll be releasing next month. Pokemon Conquest launches in the UK on July 27.

For the official announcement, head past the break.
