Igarashi is still around with Konami, busy with new projects

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Konami’s Koji Igarashi has been fairly quiet over the past few months. Actually, he did not even make an appearance at E3. This led some folks wondering what Igarashi’s status with the company is. However, this is no need to worry. A spokesperson for the company told Kotaku that “he is still at Konami, and he is still working on projects.”

Igarashi will most likely reveal his new title at the Tokyo Game Show. But could it be another Castlevania DS game? The same spokesperson, when asked if a new Castlevania for Nintendo’s portable could be on the way this year, said “I can’t say anything.”

Band Bros dev says DSi more powerful than DS, Vicarious Visions still looking into music games for DSi

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment

“It’s not just a DS with cameras in it as some might think. It’s a more powerful platform. This is something we’ve really been thinking about and working on. What’s interesting about the DSi is [that] it’s a much more capable system than the DS and DSLite than some may think. We want to do it right [guitar games/peripherals for DSi]. We want to get the best experience for what that platform can deliver.” – David Nathanielsz, executive producer of the forthcoming Band Hero DS

This isn’t the first time that we’ve heard the DSi is more powerful than the DS/DS Lite in some areas. It’ll be interesting to see if developer’s will be able to take advantage of additional horsepower and other hardware boosts for future DSi-exclusive games.
