This information comes from Animal Crossing creator Katsuya Eguchi…

“To those Animal Crossing fans, I just would like them to know that there’s progress and we should be able to offer a new download movie soon. As for features and specs of the game, I can’t go into too much detail, but players will be able to arrange their furniture the way they like, and we’ll be offering new networking experiences.”

I truly hope Nintendo mixes things up with this Animal Crossing outing. I personally felt that the DS title was the best in the series since I enjoy that type of experience more on handhelds, but I was honestly getting tired of the franchise at that point. I haven’t even played City Folk since it just looks too darn similar. Here’s hoping that the networking options are much more robust on the 3DS.

This information comes from the latest Iwata Asks…

Iwata: Among the real-time demos, the opening scene is particularly striking. How did you make that?

Kawagoe: Today, you can use a CG tool to move the camera, but back then we couldn’t do that because of how the game was constructed, so we asked to make the system to enable Nintendo 64 console to move the camera and we used that.

Iwata: First there was the music by (Koji) Kondo-san, and you made the images to match that?

Kawagoe: No, the music came later. The landforms of Hyrule Field weren’t originally made for cut scenes, so even if you think, “I want to film a scene like this…”

Iwata: The right place for it might not exist in the game.

Thanks to the 1:1 functionality of Wii MotionPlus, players will be able to raise Link’s sword in the air for a charge attack in Zelda: Skyward Sword. Did you know that Shigeru Miyamoto wanted to implement the idea was thought of thirteen years ago?

As was stated in the latest Iwata Asks, Shigeru Miyamoto was looking to include sword raising in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. But it wasn’t until Skyward Sword that he was able to accomplish his goal.

Aonuma: That’s right. Apart from the horse, ever since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Miyamoto-san has said that he wants Link to raise his sword over his head.

Osawa: He said that to me, too. We couldn’t do it on the Nintendo 64 system.

Iwata: But you can raise the sword in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, right?

Aonuma: Yes. It uses the Wii MotionPlus technology, so we’ve finally done it.

Iwata: After 13 years, you’ve fulfilled another wish.

Aonuma: So to Miyamoto-san, all the games in The Legend of Zelda series are connected.

This information comes from the latest Iwata Asks…

Iwata: So Young Link was going to show up. Riding Epona is also a distinct characteristic of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. How did the idea for a horse come up?

Osawa: It just arose all of a sudden.

Koizuma: No, I don’t think it was sudden. Actually, we’d been talking about a horse even during the development for Super Mario 64.

Osawa: Oh, I didn’t know that.

Koizuma: But it didn’t happen for Super Mario 64. I was certain we would do it for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, so I got ready. By the way, Epona was a girl.
