“There’s only one undiscovered Mega Man 9 secret that I know about… I don’t predict anyone will discover this one for quite a while yet…” – Seth Killian, Capcom Community Sr. Manager
So, this must mean that when you have a saved file of Mega Man 9 on your Wii and a copy of Brawl, you can unlock Mega Man if you play over 100,000 hours in Smash Bros. Oh, who am I kidding?

Drum along with music on the DSi, Punch-Out to feature a deeper story

“While you’re listening to your audio tracks you can sit there — and we haven’t really talked about it a lot — but you can press the buttons and play drums along with the music you’re listening to. Or even the way you can speed it up and slow down independently of pitch. Those are two things that I think are very neat…I’m working on that game as a producer. I think people who are fans of the original will be very thrilled to see the kind of style we’ve designed the game in. It will feel very classic. But at the same time, with the 3D polygons and the polygonal rendering of the characters, I think is going to make for some very nice cut-scenes and a little bit deeper story.” – SHigeru Miyamoto
Miyamoto: Something was missing from last Zelda game
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 7 Comments
Even though Twilight Princess was in development for years, in some ways, fans were disappointed. The game, while not even close to being a bad game, simply fell short of some expectations. In a way, Shigeru Miyamoto feels the same way in that he feels as though “there was something missing” from the experience.
“That’s something that I talk to the members of my development team about on a regular basis. What I’ve been saying to our development teams recently is that “Twilight Princess” was not a bad game, by any means. But, still, it felt like there was something missing. And while, personally, I feel like “Super Mario Galaxy” was able to do some things that were very new and were very unique, at the same time, from another perspective, certain elements of it do feel somewhat conservative in terms of how far we branched out with design. And so this is something I’ve been talking to both of those teams about. Of course, as is customary with Nintendo, it’s very rare that we are able to announce any games until they’re ready for release, but I can say that these are themes that both of those teams are taking into account and the hope is that for both of those franchises, when we do release the next installments of the “Zelda” [franchise] or maybe the next “Galaxy,” hopefully they will feel newer and fresher than their most recent versions.”
