Ridge Racer 3D producer could have ended up with Konami
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The latest edition of Iwata Asks contains an interesting piece of information about one of Namco Bandai’s more esteemed employees. As was revealed in the interview, Ridge Racer 3D producer Yozo Sakagami came very close to working at Konami. Sakagami actually planned on applying to the company, but accidentally dialed Namco Bandai’s number instead as a result of a mix-up with katakana characters. Of course, we now know that the error led to Sakagami’s future with Namco Bandai.
Sakagami: Yes, but I actually wanted to get into KONAMI!
Iwata: Huh?
Sakagami: I was going to apply to KONAMI, but (in Japanese, ) their names are both composed of three katakana characters, so I got confused and applied to NAMCO! (laughs)
Iwata: Are you serious? (laughs)
Sakagami: Yes! A friend of mine was working at KONAMI. I told him I was thinking about getting into the gaming industry and he said I should give it a shot. At the time, KONAMI was headquartered in Kobe.
Iwata: Not far from your home in Nishinomiya.
Sakagami: Right. So I put in a phone call, but got NAMCO instead!
Iwata: (laughs) So if you hadn’t dialed the wrong number, you might not be sitting here today. (laughs)
Sakagami: Maybe not. (laughs)

Nnooo announces return to Nintendo WiiWare with escapeVektor: Chapter 1.
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Australian based games developer Nnooo has revealed details of their new game under development for Nintendo WiiWare which they will be showcasing at this year’s GDC. Titled escapeVektor: Chapter 1, the game is a retro styled arcade game in which the player controls Vektor, an entity trapped inside the player’s Wii™ (click here to access the video).
The player has to help Vektor escape the Wii’s CPU which has been holding him captive. In making his escape, Vektor must avoid enemies sent out by the CPU. Each enemy type has different hunting patterns and intelligence, and as the player completes the various levels in the game, escape becomes more difficult. New abilities unlock to help the player outwit and destroy the CPU’s army.
