The Official Nintendo Magazine recently interviewed Eiji Aonuma. Aonuma discussed Zelda Wii, Spirit Tracks, and much more. I’ve posted a number of quotes that I believe you guys will find interesting, but you can check out the full interview here

ONM: How did you manage to release another Zelda adventure on DS so soon after Phantom Hourglass?

Eiji Aonuma: First of all, we have two separate teams, one working on the Wii version of Zelda and one on the DS version of Zelda, so it is not the case that now we have finished the DS game we are moving forward to the Wii version. No, we have already been working on the Wii version for some time and right now at Nintendo in Japan they are doing their very best in order to complete the product as soon as possible.

Talking about Spirit Tracks though, when we completed development of Phantom Hourglass, we decided we liked the touch screen system so much that we wanted to use the same scheme once again. Our mission was to try to launch this new DS Zelda game in a very short time period.

Tyrone Rodriguez, head of Nicalis, had this to say when asked if the company has looked into other consoles/handhelds for future titles…

“Yes, and we’re licensed to develop on Wii, PSP, iPhone as well as DSi. Mr. Amaya has a DSi and likes the idea of small mini-games such as the ones on DSiWare — especially on the Japanese store. I’d like to get his other games, Guxt and Ikachan on DSiWare; they seem very appropriate for it.

Nicklas also has some solid ideas and thinks Knytt Stories would be great for DSi or PSP. There’s actually a Knytt Stories prototype homebrew by a fan and it’s enough proof-of-concept that the game would work well on DSi.”

I would love to see Nicalis tackle DSiWare in the future. For now, however, I’d like to see some of their WiiWare projects. I’m still waiting for Cave Story!

Thanks to Robert for the news tip!

The Last Story now has been trademarked in three territories – Japan, Europe, and the United States. The common consensus seems to be that The Last Story is actually Last Window and the trademarks may point to a global release of the game. I know some of you would be very happy about that!
