Sakaguchi talks ‘The Last Story’ development
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
“There is also a lot of fine tuning, but when those pile up, it could be big. God is in the details. But I recently feel and have a sense to say; maybe I will become lonely when The Last Story is completed. It is the same pain such as my own child starting their journey.” – Hironobu Sakaguchi
It’s really something when a developer is so involved with a game that they can compare the pain of finish it with a child going away on their life journey. Some of my favorite games ever have come out of developers like this, namely the Wii exclusive Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon, and hearing things like this excites me quite a bit for the game!
Nintendo offering support for Metroid: Other M bug
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Update: Nintendo of America is on board as well. Here’s their response:
“If you are experiencing this issue, we are able to resolve it by fixing your save data. For instructions on how to set up a repair by sending us your save file on an SD card, or for other options, please call 1-800-255-3700. Representatives are available from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (PST) seven days a week.”
A couple of weeks ago, we reported that a number of Metroid: Other M players were experiencing a game-breaking door glitch bug. At the time, it seemed as though Nintendo would not be coming up with a fix for the issue. While that still appears to be the case in North America, the company does have a plan for Japan.
Players who send in an SD card with their save files or the Wii itself to Nintendo’s service center in Uji will be able to overcome the bug. Nintendo will cost the cover of shipping, though it was stated in an official release that one week will be needed to fix the game. No downloadable patch has been announced, so consumers only have two options: send in the necessary save file or restart the game. We’ll let you know if Nintendo has similar plans for other territories.

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The timeless characters and sword-swiping action of the Samurai Warriors™ video game series just got even better. With today’s launch of Samurai Warriors™ 3 – the first installment created exclusively for the Wii™ system – players can delve deeper than ever before into the realm of warring Japan with new modes and control options not available in any other Samurai Warriors game. For the first time in the series, players with broadband Internet access can use the Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection service to connect online with a friend and storm into battle together.
Samurai Warriors 3 features fast-paced action as players fight through a chaotic battlefield against hundreds of enemies. More than 35 playable Samurai are included, each with a distinctive set of upgradeable weapons, attacks and abilities. Players can choose from a variety of controller options, including the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers, the Classic Controller Pro™ and the Nintendo GameCube™ controller. Players can also use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to join forces with another player and battle cooperatively. In the new Historical Mode, they can access interesting facts and untold tales from Japanese history that provide a revealing glimpse into the lives of the Samurai.
