First, Q-Games’ Dylan Cuthbert discussed X-Scape…

“X was a very special game for me. It was the first game I made for Nintendo. Star Fox is very much a Miyamoto group game. X’s themes are a little more adult, a little more science fiction based. It’s a bit of a self challenge, to go back to something you made 20 years ago and going through all the old ideas and trying to remake them with the experience I have now. As a challenge that was more fun for us than doing another Star Fox. It let’s us explore more themes because it’s not a major franchise title.”

Mr. Cuthbert was also asked about the possibility of creating another Star Fox title…

“We’re willing to do any game for Nintendo. It’s up to them.”

X-Scape looks like a really neat game. I’ve actually been looking forward to the title quite a bit since I saw the first trailer. And about Star Fox…I’ve said it before and I’ve said it again – I’d love to see it happen. Now we just need Nintendo to ask Mr. Cuthbert if he’ll do it for them!

– Nintendo working to improve anti-piracy measures for 3DS
– Iwata didn’t want to go into detail because it might give “hints” to culprits
– Iwata on piracy: “We fear a kind of thinking is become widespread that paying for software is meaningless. We have a strong sense of crisis about this problem.”
– Can turn on/off 3D functionality for 3DS
– Iwata on Wii sales: “I’m not pessimistic, and this is not a pessimistic forecast”

This information comes from Nintendo’s Supplementary Information about Earnings Release…

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 3 Comments

For the most part, I’d say there are no big surprises here. Zelda Wii is listed as TBA rather than 2010…Even though Nintendo is looking to release the game this year, it looks like we won’t hear anything official until E3. And for the umpteenth time, Kirby pops up on a launch schedule. When the heck will Nintendo actually acknowledge Kirby for Wii?
