As far as we know, David Franco is a freelancer in the video game industry. Having said that, it seems that all of his previous work has been for 5th Cell, the developer behind the Scribblenauts and Drawn to Life titles.

So why is this information useful? Well, it looks like 5th Cell might be making a launch title for Wii U.

Franco listed the following games as projects he’s worked on in the past:

LATEST TITLES:
Drawn to Life, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, Lock’s Quest, Scribblenauts, Super Scribblenauts, Hybrid, Unannounced Wii U launch title.

Given Franco’s history with 5th Cell, one would think that the mysterious “Unannounced Wii U launch title” is being made by the studio.

Kid Icarus: Uprising development is finished, and the game will soon be out around the world. Director Masahiro Sakurai won’t have much time to rest, as he’ll be responsible for the next round of highly anticipated Super Smash Bros. titles.

Sakurai seems to be doing some reflection. On Twitter earlier today, Sakurai said that he’s been looking over the Smash Bros. Dojo website, which was used to communicate news about Super Smash Bros. Brawl to fans. He said, “However, what’s the word… it’s tremendous. How did we make this?”

Indies Zero CEO Masanobu Suzui saw Sakurai’s message and said something similar. Once a game is done and he check outs the design documents, materials, and development schedule for a project, he isn’t sure how the team managed to put everything together and create the title.

Sakurai’s response? “It’s because we always put our full effort into it. And then, if you rely on that pace, it becomes more and more difficult.”

A September 2011 patent filed by Nintendo may provide some insight as to what sort of features the company was considering for the Wii U.

Much of the interesting tidbits pertain to the console’s controller. It seems that Nintendo has been experimenting with 3D and an HD display for the console’s innovative controller.

A quick rundown of the patent’s more noteworthy details can be found below.

– Could come with voice recognition software
– Players could give voice commands in-game
– “one or more additional microphones…may be provided on the front and/or back surfaces” of the controller
– Controller’s camera could recognize a face/parts of a person’s face
– This face data could be stored in Wii U’s main memory
– Wii U could be used as a videophone “exchanging images and sound”
– Hints that Skype/Skype-like service was being considered for Wii U; may still be possible
– Peripheral attachment examples: “a game-specific controller (gun-shaped controller, etc.) or an input device such as a keyboard”
– Wii U “might” feature a 3D display
– Wii U controller “might” feature an HD display (controller is sub-HD resolution of 850x or so)

Thanks to Captain N for the tip!

Shigeru Miyamoto has opened up about his most/least favorite Mario Kart characters, what it and means to him to be working on Mario/Zelda for so long in a new PopWatch interview. Spoiler alert: he hates Toad.

Miyamoto also commented on a Skyward Sword prototype that was more challenging that the final product, how he feels about the story element in Zelda games, his enjoyment on making Pikmin 3, and more.

All of Miyamoto’s responses can be found after the break.
