“I am excited to make a game that takes the Nintendo 3DS features into account. That’s something that takes a lot of time, but that’s what every game should do for this kind of system. I’m excited about Rayman Origins on the Nintendo 3DS!”

Tales of the Abyss 3DS is finally out in Japan. It won’t set the world on fire since it’s a pretty basic port, though it’s a good addition to the lineup of games available for the system. Plus, both North American and European fans will be able to play it.

Kojima predicts a future without the term “video game”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The term “video game” has been around for a few decades. But Metal Gear director Hideo Kojima believes that the word will vanish sooner rather than later. Kojima made that prediction based on his belief that games, movies, and music will all blend together into one industry.
Kojima discussed that topic and how the gaming industry has changed while he’s been involved with it in issue 268 of Nintendo Power:
“In this day and age, the video game business is a major entertainment industry that surpasses movies in terms of revenue. But when I started out, it was a completely different story. Back then, the game industry was a place for people with broken dreams to gather because they couldn’t land the jobs that they really wanted. Today, the industry has matured into a wonderful place where some of the most talented people in their field can take advantage of cutting-edge technology and world-class budgets to thrill and awe the entire world.
“In the near future I believe we’ll see the term ‘video game’ itself vanish as our industry evolves and eventually absorbs the movie and music industry to create a larger, all-encompassing form of digital entertainment.”
Nintendo not localizing Japanese Wii titles for North America, cause for concern in the future
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Features, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Yes, Nintendo’s initial response about possibly bringing Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower to North America was lame. It was short and uninformative. Although they promised an update in the near future, it was not at all worth the wait.
This response, too, is useless and basically confirms what most Nintendo fans have feared: Nintendo of America is not bringing any of these desired titles stateside. Looks like Operation Rainfall is going to have a long, tough battle ahead of them…
