Ancel says Nintendo’s greatest strength/weakness is innovation, Big N comes out with “biggest surprises”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Ubisoft’s Michel Ancel shared a few words about Nintendo while speaking with ONM this month.
According to the Rayman creator, innovation is the company’s greatest strength as well as its greatest weakness. This goes hand in hand with risk-taking, he believes.
Ancel also said that “the biggest surprises seem to come from Nintendo.” Miiverse and the GamePad were both pointed to as examples.
Ancel’s comments in full:
Nintendo’s greatest strength, and its greatest weakness, is innovation. It’s a company that takes a lot of risks. Few people understand that innovation involves risk-taking, because you don’t control everything on the market.
Today, the biggest surprises seem to come from Nintendo. People may like those surprises or not, but that’s a fact. Miiverse was a surprise, the GamePad was a surprise. What will come next? I can’t wait!
Thanks to joclo for sending this our way.

Aonuma will “say more” about Zelda Wii U at E3 2014, talks overworld openness
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii, Wii U | 7 Comments
A few months ago, Eiji Aonuma stated that Nintendo was considering showing Zelda Wii U at this year’s E3. It now sounds like we’ll be waiting for next year’s expo for a look at the new title.
When Mashable asked if Aonuma could say anything about Zelda Wii U, Aonuma replied: “I’ll say more at E3 2014.”
Aonuma’s comment was part of a larger interview about A Link Between Worlds and the series in general. He shared some rather interesting comments when it comes to openness in Zelda’s overworlds:
Aonuma on Wind Waker’s turnaround in reception, Twilight Princess visuals influenced by fans, more talk of HD tests

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was originally one of the most controversial Zelda games, at least from a visual perspective. The title’s initial reveal was less than smooth with fans wondering where Nintendo could be taking the franchise after showing the game’s “cartoony” graphics in a debut trailer at Space World 2001.
Following Wind Waker’s launch, a contingent of fans still downplayed the cel-shaded look. However, you could say that the public opinion has changed over the last decade. Wind Waker as a whole – including its timeless visuals – are now remembered much more fondly.
In an interview with Shacknews, Eiji Aonuma spoke about the turnaround in reception:
