Reggie Fils-Aime on the reaction to Wii U…
“Reaction has been very positive, not only to the journalist side. We have spent time with the analysts, the publishers. I make it a point whenever I have a break just to walk the floor and the reaction is extremely strong [among the show attendees]. People are excited, people are waiting to get their hands on it, people are getting into line twice and that’s true whether it’s for Wii U or for Nintendo 3DS as we have had lines back up. So the reaction has been very strong.”
Reggie on how the design thinking evolved/what Nintendo wanted to do with the next console…

Sakurai: Capcom character could appear in next Smash Bros.
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 16 Comments
This information comes from Masahiro Sakurai…
“I can’t say that it’s entirely out of the realm of possibility that some Capcom character could appear in the next Smash Bros. The big problem, though, comes from the idea of trying to get characters from a completely different universe to fit with the style that has been dictated by Nintendo’s characters in a fighting game. In fact, I actually think it’s a miracle that we got Smash Bros. and all the Nintendo characters to work together in the first place. Especially when you bring Pokemon into the mix and a lot of the complications that are caused by that being an almost completely different entity on its own, it’s really something. So this is something that obviously will come up more as we get started on the new Smash Bros. development, but keeping those things in mind I think is important.”
It’ll be very interesting to see how many third-party characters show up in the next Smash Bros. games. Right now, we don’t even know if Snake and Sonic will be returning!
THQ: Saints Row 3DS was never in development
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
So, here’s something incredibly odd. THQ’s Danny Bilson says that work on Saints Row 3DS never actually started. A Saints Row title was announced by Satoru Iwata, along with a slew of other titles, at E3 2010.
Bilson says that the company moved on from Saints Row and is instead creating “a couple of other things” heading to the platform instead.
“No, we talked about doing a Saints Row 3DS game, but we never started it. We have a couple of other things in development on the 3DS, but we wound up not starting that and starting a couple of other brands instead. There was no drama in any of that, honestly.”
