Bill Trinen apparently no longer participating in EVO 2015’s Smash Bros. Wii U tournament
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 22 Comments
Nintendo’s Bill Trinen no longer appears to be playing in EVO 2015’s upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament. Writing on Twitter, Trinen explained that he has “had a change of plans after the news this week” – almost certainly a reference to the passing of Satoru Iwata.
While Trinen won’t be participating in the Smash Bros. Wii U tournament, he will still “be watching and cheering from afar.” Perhaps next year will allow for his entry at the event.
@GameplayDev @evo2k Unfortunately I have had a change of plans after the news this week, but I will be watching and cheering from afar.

Itagaki on why he didn’t give up on the development of Devil’s Third and more
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 13 Comments
Famitsu provides an update on Devil’s Third this week. Along with the magazine’s report, there’s also an interview with creator Tomonobu Itagaki.
First, here’s what Itagaki had to say about multiplayer:
“There are things like diplomacy chat that only clan leaders can use, so you can have conferences with other clans. I’m a military enthusiast so there are also many political elements in the game.”
Famitsu then asks about being able to enjoy just the multiplayer:
“Of course. You can [enjoy the multiplayer] even without playing the single-player game. Even so, the single-player is packed with Itagaki-like things, so I’d like you to try it. In order to make both the multiplayer side of the game and the single player side of the game enjoyable, each of them required an amount of quantity, quality and scope. There are these two parts of Devil’s Third. That’s why it took time [to make the game].”
