Miyamoto says Nintendo’s games were able to stand out from the bloody shooters at E3
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 75 Comments
Nintendo’s E3 2014 lineup was varied to say the least. We saw plenty of action titles. RPGs. A game that lets you make your own Mario levels. A colorful shooter.
Shigeru Miyamoto, speaking at Nintendo’s Annual Shareholders Meeting last week, said the company “looked very unique” and received positive reactions thanks to its variety of games. That’s in contrast to other titles at the show, which Miyamoto felt were mainly “bloody shooter software that was mainly set in violent surroundings or, in a different sense, realistic and cool worlds”.
Here’s Miyamoto’s comments in full:

Miyamoto talks more about Zelda Wii U’s “open world”, teases unannounced “ideas” for 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 2 Comments
At Nintendo’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders meeting last week, one investor asked when we will next see The Legend of Zelda for Wii U. Unfortunately, Shigeru Miyamoto wasn’t able to say, but he did speak more about the game in general terms. Miyamoto specifically discussed Zelda Wii U’s “open world” – a term that he personally doesn’t like to use when making software, “but we used this term in order to make it easier for consumers to understand.”
Miyamoto went on to discuss The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and how Nintendo started to change up the series’ formula with that game. And very interestingly, Miyamoto teased unannounced “ideas” for 3DS that he hopes fans will look forward to.

I think Sakurai’s a little bit proud of today’s screenshots. The first is of Mega Man’s final smash:
Mega Man.EXE and Mega Man Volnutt!! They only appear for a split second, but the modeling is so detailed. And if that’s the case…!
And of course no Mega Man news would be complete without a dose of Mega Man X:
…How can we not use it for trophy creation?! Today’s update is a rare mix of Wii U and 3DS images in the same post.

Bandai Namco announced today that the company has reached a worldwide distribution agreement with Slightly Mad Studios on the release of Project CARS. The game will be available on Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, and PC in November.

Project CARS is the most authentic, beautiful, intense, and technically-advanced racing game on the planet.
Crowd-funded by a passionate community that has been involved in the development process throughout to create their ultimate racing experience, Project CARS allows you to create a driver, pick from a huge variety of motorsports, and shift into high gear to chase a number of Historic Goals and ultimate recognition in the Hall Of Fame. Then test your skills online either in competitive fully-loaded race weekends, leaderboard-based time challenges, or continually-updated community events – sometimes for real-world prizes.
Featuring the largest track roster of any recent racing game with a ground-breaking dynamic time of day & weather system, world-class graphics and handling, deep tuning & pit stop functionality, and support for Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus, Project CARS leaves the competition behind in the dust.
