Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:
The shield that can deflect things with a little “clunk!” is still around. There’s a slight reaction to the impact this time, so brace yourself.
Aonuma on visuals in Zelda games, Link Between Worlds didn’t begin as a sequel, wants next Hyrule “to be a setting no one has ever imagined before”

Nintendo producer Eiji Aonuma commented on a number of wide-ranging topics while speaking with GamesTM this month.
The visual style of Zelda games was one prominent item tackled by Aonuma. He spoke about his personal importance of creating unique-looking games:
When something unexpected happens, the first reaction people have is to be wary.
…I try to make games I work on unique. Not only in terms of gameplay, but also in terms of graphical style. I want the game to be unlike anything I’ve seen anywhere else. Changes to the graphics also help to change preconceived ideas and have a big impact on the gameplay. Because the graphical style can lead to uniqueness like that, I think it really can’t be ignored.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut costs quite a bit more on Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 22 Comments
For a few months now, retailers such as Amazon
, Best Buy
, and GameStop have listed pricing for Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut at $49.99 on Wii U and $29.99 on the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360. As it turns out, this is final.
Square Enix had been previously hesitant to officially reveal the game’s cost, but nothing has changed since retailers put up their original listings. We’ve confirmed with the publisher that the Wii U version will indeed set you back $50, but only $30 on other consoles.
Why the difference in pricing? Other than the fact that Deus Ex: Human Revolution has landed on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 previously, I can’t really think of anything. The experience will be more or less the same across all platforms.

Mega-Man/Mighty No. 9 creator Keiji Inafune says “if any creator has not played Mario, then they’re probably not a good creator”, shares fondness for the series

“I have total respect for Miyamoto, to the point where… It’s very strange that there are national cultural treasures – they’re traditionally sportsmen. I think it’s very strange that somebody as famous as Miyamoto hasn’t been designated one of those people. He’s talked about in all different countries. Lots of people know him. He’s pushed forward Japanese culture and interest in Japan all over the world. He’s somebody that deserves everyone’s ultimate respect, and a lot of that is due to being able to create Mario. And Super Mario Bros. 3, of course, within that, was a fantastic game.”
– Keiji Inafune
This quote comes as part of a large Super Mario related feature that IGN is putting together where many gaming-industry personalities– Greg Miller, Cliffy B, and Ted Price, for example. You can check that out here.
