On how it doesn’t take place before other games in the series…

“It’s definitely not a prequel. In some ways I think more of it as being a remake of the first one or we’re starting from ‘1’ again, but obviously with that as a base trying to think, ‘now with these two different screens and new play system and different vehicles, what are the new things we can add to that?’”

– Zero name chosen in part because they “liked how it sounded”
– The Kanji character for Zero is written into the game’s logo in a way to resemble the tail of a fox

– Co-developed between Nintendo and Platinum Games
– Art is being done at Platinum’s Osaka office
– Design is being done in Nintendo’s offices in Kyoto, where some of the Platinum guys have taken temporary root
– Nintendo’s director on the project is Yugo Hayashi (level design on The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess and then directed Wii Fit U)
