Aonuma talks about stories in Zelda games, wants to make a game where the player defines the story

Zelda games have never put story ahead of gameplay. Sure, the plot is important – and was more prominent in Skyward Sword than ever before – but no Zelda has ever placed a huge emphasis on the sequence of events.
But what if Nintendo did actually attempt to focus on the story? How’d that go down? According to Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, it wouldn’t be so easy:
“(I feel) like that would be a game that’s really hard to develop, if you have a story first, you’re kind of tied to that story, and locked into it, and you have to alter gameplay to make sure that the story progresses in a certain way. …that doesn’t really mean that the gameplay itself will be fun. I know that there are many games that were created to fit an existing story, and I don’t know that there are that many that have been very successful at it.”

Brad Keselowski has been confirmed for Watch_Dogs as a non-playable character. Players will be able to encounter Keselowski, a professional stock car driver and team owner, while roaming the streets of Chicago.
Keselowski is the second celebrity-type NPC to be included in Watch_Dogs. Earlier this year, Ubisoft revealed that actress and comedian Aisha Tyler would be joining the game.

Wonderful Ones Unite! Nintendo Unleashes The Wonderful 101
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Heroic Wii U Game Features Epic Game Play Built for a Superhero … 101 of Them!
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Earth’s only hope against an alien invasion is a team of 100 fearless superheroes, and they need YOUR help. Only you can unite these superheroes – not to become the “Just OK 101,” or even the “So-So 101,” but rather the Wonderful 101! Launching on Sept. 15 exclusively for the Wii U console, The Wonderful 101 is an incredibly vibrant action game that lets players control a team of superheroes that is trying to defeat alien invaders known as GEATHJERK. Individually, these superheroes pack a decent punch, but unite them together and they are unstoppable.
“The Wonderful 101 is one of the most over-the-top games on Wii U – in a good way,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Featuring hordes of heroes and enemies on screen at once, deep game play that rewards experimentation and several different uses for the Wii U GamePad, the game illustrates the kind of original and refreshing experiences that can only be found on Wii U.”

@VoxelArcade That's still not decided. I'm just porting my tech and trying out the hardware for now.

Gunman Clive is now up and running on Wii U. Does that mean the game will be coming to the system’s eShop sometime in the future?
Well, not exactly. Creator Bertil Hörberg did show a picture of Gunman Clive on the GamePad on Twitter earlier today, but cautioned that a Wii U version is “still not decided.” As of now, he’s porting tech and “trying out the hardware for now.”
