Miyamoto tidbits – More talk of Zelda Wii art, story progression different than in Twilight Princess, more
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 4 Comments
Shigeru Miyamoto has released a bunch of details relating to Zelda Wii, Pikmin 3, and more.
– New Zelda game set in different era
– Reconfirmed that Link is older than he was previously, more towards adulthood
– NOT holding a sword in art shown at round table
– Story progression is “something completely different”
– “I think we do this with Mario and Zelda as well. When we are working on the plans for them, we are trying to come up with ways where we can satisfy our longtime fans and bring new players into the franchises as well. That’s something we’re always looking at. However, when I get involved in a title, I focus a lot on more experience and the more advanced gameplay elements. If I get into it, there’s a tendency for difficulty levels to ramp up so that’s something I really have to watch for myself to make sure that I don’t do that.”
– Miyamoto understands graphics expectations of Zelda Wii
– Basics of Pikmin 3 done, now team has to go in and fill the game out
– Interested in making a game with 2 remotes with MotionPlus
– Puppet team “still wants to work on” Mario puppet game

Dementium II officially announced
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
MIDLOTHIAN, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SouthPeak Interactive Corporation (OTCBB: SOPK) announced today that it will be publishing Dementium II for Nintendo DS™. A sequel to Renegade Kid’s Dementium: The Ward, the next chapter in this horrific story promises to take players even closer to the precipice of madness than its predecessor when released in Q1 2010.
“We were extremely satisfied with what we accomplished with the original Dementium, but knew we could do even more given the chance to develop a sequel,” said Jools Watsham, Owner and Creative Director of Renegade Kid. “With Dementium II, we’re upping the ante in a major way. Be prepared to be too frightened to power on your Nintendo DS.”
