Miyamoto no longer attending the Japan Expo for personal reasons
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
Last week, we heard that Shigeru Miyamoto would be attending the Japan Expo in France. Those plans have sadly since been scrapped.
Nintendo of France announced on Twitter that Miyamoto won’t be at the expo for person reasons. Specifically, his absence is due to the health of his father.
We regret to announce that Mr Miyamoto will not present at Japan Expo for personal reasons related to the health of his father.

Aonuma believes that finding treasure is one of Zelda’s most enjoyable elements
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 12 Comments
Earlier this month, Nintendo launched something called “Nintendo News” on its Japanese website. Think of it as a weekly online magazine in a way.
The latest issue, posted a few days ago, features some comments from Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma who reflected on the series. Aonuma spoke in one part about how discovering treasure is one of Zelda’s most enjoyable aspects.
On the topic of finding things when you go on an adventure, Aonuma said:
My son is in elementary school, and he asked, “What is so fun about Zelda anyway?” I tell him, “Finding treasure is the most fun!” Even if it is only one rupee inside the treasure chest, I think (laughs). Whenever you find a treasure chest, there is always a “Yes! I found it!”-sense of accomplishment, and when you open it, it is just so fun to hear. To discover a new item, I think I find pleasure in both the surprise and the opening.
