A new, juicy interview with Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has gone live. It’s actually so juicy that I couldn’t possibly cram all of the quotes into a title of reasonable length!
Reggie opened up about how Nintendo isn’t rushing Wii U due to the poor performance of any of its other systems and the success of the console will be compared to Wii. He also delved into the Wii U’s account system, marketing challenge for casual players, how the Wii U’s launch information will be partially determined by E3 feedback, non-concern over the power of other next-gen consoles, and Nintendo’s approach for third-party support.
Whew!
Like always, we’ve posted all of Reggie’s comments for you below.

Metroid Prime’s cut content: Enemies, locations, more
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News | 0 comments
Metroid Prime is one of the most intriguing titles for the GameCube. It was created by an unknown development team – no one had any idea Retro Studios would rise to the challenge presented to them – and the project went through a tumultuous development cycle.
There were quite a few aspects that were left on the cutting room floor, such as enemies and locations. NeoGAF member “Mama Robotnik” has uncovered some of this lost content. We were aware of some of these elements, but not all.
Lots of concepts, general art pieces, and other images can be found in the gallery above, which features Kraid, alternate Ridley designs, and a whole lot more. Head past the break for a breakdown of the pictures.

Each title in the Retro-developed series is featured in the gallery above. You’ll find images of enemy concepts (such as an Omega Metroid for MP1), menu shots, and a bunch of other items.
n-Space developer interested in working on another Geist game
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, GameCube, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
When asked about which Nintendo series he’d like to work on in an interview with Nintendo Gamer, n-Space’s Tim Schwalk said he’d like to revisit Geist. Schwalk was the lead programmer on the GameCube title.
He also said that he would be interested in revitalizing the Uniracers IP for the 3DS.
Schwalk told the magazine:
“This may sound a bit self-serving, but I would love to work on another Geist game. We left so many ideas on the cutting-room floor that it’s a dream of mine to revisit the franchise. Aside from that, I’d love to revive Uniracers and bring it to the 3DS. I’m not a huge fan of motion controls, but there are a lot of cool things we could do with it.”
