Pilotwings 64 composer Dan Hess shared a completely random and interesting revelation in an interview with N64 Blog.
Hess told the site that while the team was making the new Pilotwings, one Nintendo executive – who came “with a briefcase chained to his arm” from Japan showed its in-progress work on Super Mario 64. The team took inspiration from the visit, which “served as motivation for us to make Pilotwings 64 as good as we possibly could.”
Hess said:
“One of my fondest memories is of a Nintendo executive flying from Japan, literally with a briefcase chained to his arm, to show our team they’re developing Super Mario 64 game. We were all blown away and it served as motivation for us to make Pilotwings 64 as good as we possibly could.”
Miyamoto: Pikmin 3 will be more like the first game
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Following the announcement of Pikmin 3 at last year’s E3, Shigeru Miyamoto said he wasn’t a huge fan of ditching the timer in Pikmin 2. He hinted that he was pushing for the mechanic’s return with the Wii U game.
In an interview with GamesMaster, Miyamoto once again stated that he wasn’t too big on the idea of removing the timed functionality.
When asked if the Pikmin 3 team had to make some important decisions about the direction of the series prior to development, Miyamoto said:

Don’t count on late Wii U ports from Capcom
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Capcom has announced one game for Wii U thus far: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. The company has other titles in store for the console, but don’t expect late ports. That means the chances of seeing the likes of Resident Evil 6 and Lost Planet 3 on Wii U aren’t too high.
Capcom’s Christian Svensson said the following when asked about older ports for Wii U:
“With regard to WiiU, in general we’re looking forward, not back so late ports are generally not on the table.”

Is the Wii U a next-gen console? Some will say yes, others will say no. This is a topic that has been debated since Nintendo announced the console at E3 2011, and will likely be a point of discussion in the future.
A few developers offered some insight regarding the next-gen nature of Wii U and its potential in the latest issue of GamesMaster. Below you’ll find comments from Ubisoft’s Gabrielle Shrager, Mass Effect 3’s external producer, and more.

The image above popped up on the official Call of Duty forums. As of now, Activision has yet to confirm the DLC’s validity. Be on the lookout for updates.
Pile of rocks found inside 3DS box
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Rather than a new 3DS, one boy from Talladega received a box full of rocks on Christmas. His mother purchased the system from Wal-Mart, but did not check the product to see if the system was inside. When the boy opened the product, he found the rocks wrapped in tissue paper.
Does this story sound familiar? Almost the same exact situation occurred in 2009 – also with Wal-Mart, but with a DS instead.

[Feature] Two People Playin’ Games Beta Episode 1 – Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (TranZit)
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Podcast Stories, Videos | 0 comments
Warning: Pretty got dang explicit. It’s an ‘M’ rated game after all.
But Austin, what am I about to watch!?
I have quite a history of starting “weekly segments” on NintendoEverything, only to do them for a few weeks and then stop doing them forever after that. I don’t know yet if this is going to be one of those things, but depending on how you guys feel about it we should most definitely see another one next week at least!
But what is it?
Well, “Two People Playin’ Games” is an idea that people have been bugging me about for a while, asking me to do “Let’s Play” videos or walkthrough-esque tutorials of various video games. The thing is, I’m not a huge fan of regular old “Let’s Play”s, and walkthroughs are just long and boring and take all the fun out of playing the game in the first place! So what is my solution?
Think of “Two People Playin’ Games” as a sort of “Let’s Play” for people who don’t have several hours to sit around watching Youtube videos. It’s a collection of moments from a playthrough of a game, strung together as coherently as possible to give you guys and idea of what’s going on, and a reason to keep watching. I think we accomplished that pretty well with this first video, even if it did have its ups and downs! Without too much explanation though, just watch the video. I think it’ll speak for itself.
