When asked by Game Informer if Ubisoft will be present during NX’s launch window, Guillemot responded:

“You can expect we’ll support Nintendo. Nintendo is one of the best partners in the world.”

Koji Igarashi left Konami after spending over 20 years with the company. By doing so, he was able to launch a very successful Kickstarter for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, a Castlevania spiritual successor.

Speaking about the decision to go independent with GamesRadar, Igarashi said:

“Three or four years ago I was working at Konami and didn’t have the opportunity to [make a game like Symphony of the Night]. When I saw the success of Mighty No. 9’s crowdfunding, it showed that fans can empower the creator and open up new doors. That was the spark I was looking for to leave Konami, go out on my own, be independent.”

Igarashi talked a bit about Bloodstained as well. Rather than focusing on innovation, the team is to provide “classic Igavania-style game” fans have long been requesting.

“My goal with this game is to give [players] that classic Igavania-style game that they want. First and foremost, we’re not shooting for innovation – we’re shooting for reviving that sort of gameplay that people have been wanting for the last five years, and that publishers and developers have really not been offering. So any innovation beyond that is the sort of spice and coolness.”

Are you having trouble finding worthwhile Super Mario Maker levels? Then a newly opened section of the game’s Japanese website may interest you.

The Super Mario Maker Course Selection area can be accessed here. On the page, Nintendo developers have selected levels and divided them up into categories.

Nintendo is also holding a contest of sorts to create a Super Mario Maker level with certain themes. These are:

1. A course that uses P-Switches/P-Doors in an interesting way
2. A course with a summer theme (makes you feel like you’re in summer)
3. A course that uses the phone audio block well

The deadline for the event is on August 8.
