This quote comes from Shigeru Miyamoto at the Q&A session of Nintendo’s latest financial briefing. We posted this information a few days ago, but now it’s clearer and complete.

“…On developing the recent Zelda for DS, I found out that one of Zelda’s core appeals is its uniqueness. Of course we are preparing gorgeous graphics for the sake of users’ anticipation for a grand role-playing adventure. But what I believe is very important is the realistic, actual feeling players have experienced themselves; the feeling to have really been on an adventure, to have explored the unknown terrains, to have solved the puzzle through trial and errors, to have themselves grown through various experiences! In that sense, a personal sense of creativity is becoming important among us. We have assembled one of the most creative team for the recent Zelda for DS, and we want to be as creative as possible for upcoming Wii Zelda.

This information comes from Capcom’s Senior Manager of Community, Seth Killian, who was responding over at Capcom-Unity to someone who said that the company favors Nintendo consoles:

“IMO, Capcom is the third-party publisher with the BEST cross-platform support out there. Fans of any particular console will always want something for the other consoles, and I understand that, but since all the consoles are successful in today’s market, we’re actively supporting them all (the love is pretty evenly spread even to handhelds).

While I know it’s easy to do the ‘you did that game on console X and not on my console Y!!!’, we really are trying and I think we’re much better at it than the other publishers, so please look at the question in terms of overall industry context rather than just in terms of specific games.”

It’s hard for me to complain about Capcom’s Nintendo support now that we know Okamiden is in development for the DS. There are also a number of other DS and Wii titles to look forward to including Monster Hunter 3, Ghost Trick, and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. With that said, I’ll admit that there have been a few flops here and there (Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop comes to mind).

Well, this is quite a surprise! According to the USK, Germany’s equivalent of the ESRB, the Phoenix Wright series is coming to the Wii in some capacity. Unfortunately, the USK rating did not specify if this will be a WiiWare or retail release. The news hasn’t been officially confirmed by Capcom yet, but I don’t see how this classification could be incorrect. And remember, Capcom’s Christian Svensson said a few months ago that the series could “technically” land on Nintendo’s console.

Even though Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition (that’s a mouthful, isn’t it?) releases in just six days, only a handful of official screenshots have been released. No trailers, no videos, pretty much nothing in general. For now, gamers will be forced to make a purchasing decision based on a few previews written during GDC and pre-alpha screenshots. However, someone took a picture of the Reflex Edition box – particularly the back – which shows a few new screens. They are blurry, but this is what people have had to resort to in order to get a better idea about the game! You can check out the images below.
