Power-ups are some of the most important elements in a Mario title. Super Mario Bros. 3, for instance, wouldn’t be nearly the same without the inclusion of the Super Leaf or Tanooki Suit.

You might be wondering: how does Nintendo approach the power-ups? How does Nintendo decide which ones to bring back?

Nintendo’s Takashi Tezuka was asked about this in the latest issue of Game Informer.

Broken Rules, the developer behind the upcoming indie Wii U title Chasing Aurora, has kind words for the console’s eShop. Martin Pichlmair told ONM that he thinks “Nintendo is doing everything to make this console much more open, social and indie-friendly than the Wii ever was.”

“I can not talk about the new eShop in detail. What I do know is that Nintendo is doing everything to make this console much more open, social and indie-friendly than the Wii ever was.”

Pichlmair continued:

“There are people at Nintendo who know where innovative games come from. And if you look at the launch lineup you can clearly see that those people have had a say in it. At the same time, the Wii U with its various controller configurations calls for experimental games of all kinds and Nintendo is always eager to have games make good use of its console’s innovations.”
