Aonuma: Twilight Princess “a starting point” for Zelda Wii
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
“With Twilight Princess, we challenged ourself to create the most vast and realistic world the series had ever seen, but we don’t feel that we were able to fully complete this objective. With that as a starting point for our improvements to the series in the future, we are of course working on a new game for Wii. For any game to be remembered for a long time, just like Ocarina of Time was, the game must give the strong impression that it has set a new starting point for future sequels to build upon. We are working to further improve upon the experiences found in Twilight Princess so that our future games can realize these innovations.” – Eiji Aonuma
It sounds like some elements from Twilight Princess will be carried over to Zelda Wii in some way, but I wouldn’t get too concerned about this quote if you’re thinking it will just be a rehash. It wasn’t too long ago that Aonuma said that the team is looking at ways to change the traditional structure that the series has been known for.
Atlus’ Photoworld heading to DSi

Unfortunately, not much is known about this title other than the information provided by the ESRB (see below)…
Platform: Nintendo DSi
Share |Rating: Everyone
Content descriptors: No Descriptors
Rating summary:
This is an activity game in which players can use a camera to take pictures of themselves. Players can then customize the pictures with a variety of stamps, photo effects, and text boxes.
I’d imagine that this will end up on DSiWare rather than in stores, but we’ll find out for sure soon enough.

Chinese DSi owners can play Nintendogs without a game card
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Bundling software with DSi systems isn’t a new thing for Nintendo. In fact, the company ran a promotion on black Friday, in which five DSiWare Mario came pre-installed. In China, however, gamers will get a taste of a full retail title, Nintendogs. The only thing is that, for now, it isn’t clear if the full game or a sampling will be featured. The DSi, under the brand name iQue, will be launching in China on December 15.

Kamiya had interest in making an Okami sequel, wishes to finish the Viewiful Joe story
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
“I don’t have the rights to any of the IPs that I’ve made. They belong to the companies that publish them, and they’re a business so they have a right to exploit those IPs as they want…. However, to be completely honest, I’d love to do them myself. Up until very recently I really felt someday I wanted to make a sequel to Okami, and there were others who wanted me to as well. But then the other day I heard the announcement that someone else would be making a sequel and now I’m just not interested in it anymore. Once someone else touches a world that you yourself created it stops being yours. There is no point in making a sequel when the world doesn’t belong to you. Viewtiful Joe is probably all I’ve got left. That story is incomplete so I’d like to finish it someday. But that would probably be the most difficult one to do [laughs].” – Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya
I feel a little sad for Kamiya when it comes to Okami. In the North American version of the Wii port, he wasn’t mentioned at all despite being the game’s original director. And now, as we’ve learned, Okamiden is in development without any involvement on his part. In terms of Viewtiful Joe, I don’t think it’s likely he’ll have the opportunity to create another Viewtiful Joe title, but I would love to see it happen.
