Zoom.in has published a new video interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, and it contains some juicy tidbits. He discusses the retirement situation (yet again), how he’s jealous about video game characters being able to outlive us, his lack of interest in making photo-realistic games, and the pressure he faces due to expectations.

Updates available for various games on the eShop

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

There are some new updates available for a variety of eShop downloads. 3DS users can download new versions of Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Pushmo, 3D Classics: Kirby’s Adventure, and Netflix.

There isn’t any sort of changelog, so it’s anybody’s guess what these updates actually do. However, I’m guessing that they’re relatively minor.

Thanks to Skawtz for the tip!

The voice of Mario worked on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Most of Charles Martinet’s video game work has been limited to the Mario series. He’s the voice actor behind Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi. It’s true that he has been involved with some titles not published by Nintendo, such as Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time and Resonance of Fate. But did you know that he also played a role in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim?

Believe it or not, it’s true! The credits for Skyrim confirm it. Head past the break for more information.
