He feels that Nintendo delivered on a number of fan requests at this year’s E3, such as a new Pikmin, a Mario game launching with a new console, and a brand new project that brings big franchises together in Nintendo Land. Despite this, most fans have been vocal in saying that the Big N’s conference was a disappointment.

Reggie commented on this and more in an interview with Kotaku. Find out what else he had to say by heading past the break.

Sakurai tells fan to lay off Namco Bandai

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

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata delivered the surprising news last night that Namco Bandai would be playing a significant role in the next Smash Bros. entry as one of its main developers.

There are some franchise followers out there who weren’t pleased with the announcement. One person went as far as to send an angry tweet to Masahiro Sakurai, writing that Namco Bandai is “incompetent”. The fan additionally said that Sakurai shouldn’t be involved with the development process.

Unsurprisingly, Sakurai wasn’t amused with the comments. He responded with the following:

“Knock off looking down on them with narrow-minded thinking.”

This is a very unconventional move for the Smash Bros. series and Nintendo as a whole, but we might as well give the project a chance, right? I mean, we don’t even know anything about the Wii U/3DS games yet.
