Job listing makes mention of Nintendo Directs
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments
Nintendo Direct was an initiative created by Satoru Iwata. But with his passing back in July, some have wondered if this is something that will continue going forward.
There is at least one piece of news which gives hope for the future. A Nintendo of America job listing for a motion graphics artist mentions that this person will be responsible for editing video/audio for Nintendo Directs, among other content. That’s not a definitive answer regarding the status of the presentations, but it’s encouraging!
Here’s the job listing in full for those that are interested:

Miyamoto – another Mario Galaxy game possible on other hardware, wants to surprise players
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 75 Comments
Shigeru Miyamoto has addressed the possibility of another Super Mario Galaxy game. In an interview with Eurogamer, Miyamoto told the site:
“[A new Mario Galaxy] is always in discussion. But even with Mario 64 there was a lot of feedback about motion sickness with the 3D or maybe us making it too difficult.”
“Going back to our roots and making New Super Mario Bros., anyone can play that. So that’s why we went back. We’re always thinking, is there a middle ground where people who do enjoy the 3D worlds of Galaxy and those who enjoy New Super Mario Bros. can both enjoy it? We’re always looking at those opportunities.”
“On the other hand, me and [Yoshiaki] Koizumi-san, director of Galaxy, are always looking to challenge Galaxy and do another 3D action title. However we can’t make so many games at once in parallel. But as the hardware technology gets better and advances, I think there will be a lot of opportunity for both options.”
