Original Pikmin leader: DS could be good for Pikmin
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 9 Comments
“As Nintendo DS has its own unique advantages, it would be possible to create a gameplay-control mechanism which would be good for and unique to Pikmin.” – Shigefumi Hino, former project leader of the original Pikmin
Wouldn’t it be funny if Pikmin was in development for the DS and not the Wii? I think it is the other way around, but as Mr. Hino said, bringing the franchise to the DS could bring great results.

Iwata: Nintendo not competing with iPod, cell phones
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
This information comes from the latest edition of Iwata Asks for the DSi…
“Nintendo doesn’t have any intention of directly competing with existing products, but the mass media has a tendency to portray everything as a rivalry between opposing companies. It seems some people have the impression that we want to compete with cell phones or the iPod, that putting cameras or music players in our devices is out of character for us. I hope those who have such an impression will take an interest in what Nintendo can make when it dedicates itself to pleasing as many people as possible who pick up a DS, and I hope they’ll actually pick one up themselves.” – Satoru Iwata

Sony’s opinion on GTA: Chinatown Wars
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 3 Comments
“It’s an interesting launch on DS. It raises some eyebrows in a lot of areas. It’ll be interesting to see how that sells.” – Sony’s John Koller
It’s pretty much a known fact that Chinatown Wars is a true, enjoyable GTA game. The only question is, how will it sell? If it does sell a respectable amount, perhaps that will show other companies that more mature titles can thrive on the DS.
