Ocarina of Time 3D is a fantastic addition to the 3DS library, but fans are understandably very curious as to what a completely original Zelda game would look like on the system. Producer Eiji Aonuma wouldn’t give away any specific details, though he did tell Game Informer that he expects to do something “very interesting”. Aonuma added that the project “will be a game in which having 3D will mean something.”

Aonuma interested in power of Wii U for Zelda, Skyward Sword to show how Zelda can evolve

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

Eiji Aonuma has once again been asked about his thoughts for Zelda on Wii U. While he essentially repeated his previous comments, he did say that the team is “much more interested in looking at the power of the Wii U system and seeing how we can take advantage of that power to do things that we haven’t been able to do in a Zelda game before.” Additionally, Aonuma explained that Skyward Sword will be a title that shows fans “how the Zelda series can change and evolve.”

Aonuma told Game Informer:

“The demo that we showed at E3 was really just more of a rough idea of if all we were to do was to take a Zelda game and put it in HD, this is what it might look like. We’re much more interested in looking at the power of the Wii U system and seeing how we can take advantage of that power to do things that we haven’t been able to do in a Zelda game before…. One of our goals with [Skyward Sword] is to be the first step in illustrating for people how the Zelda series can change and evolve.”

PokePark Wii 2 announced

So… that “massive shock announcement” regarding Pokemon? It seems to be PokePark 2: Beyond the World for Wii, not a completely original RPG adventure for 3DS. CoroCoro has revealed the title (see the scan above). We don’t have many details at the moment, but it’s set for a winter release in Japan.

Rumor: Sonic Generations Wii U possible, secondary Sonic title in the works for the console

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments

SEGA has said outright that Sonic Generations isn’t coming to Wii. However, Nintendo has a much more powerful console launching next year that could certainly handle the project. So, would SEGA consider porting the title to Wii U?

Apparently it’s something that the company is thinking about. In order for it to happen, though, sales of the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 version of the game will have to surpass their internal expectations. TSSZ says that, according to their source, a “secondary” game is in the works for the new console.

“Regarding the prospects of a Wii U Generations port, our source indicates Sega could prepare it for the system’s launch sometime next year, but only if sales of existing versions far exceed Sega’s internal expectations. Even if that doesn’t pan out, the source says there indeed is a Sonic in the works for the system, and it is likely another secondary title. If that holds, it would continue Sega’s strategy of keeping primary fare on XBOX 360 and PS3, while Nintendo consoles get their own unique games.”
