Game Informer caught up with Splatoon producer Hisashi Nogami and co-director Tsubasa Sakaguchi at E3 2014. The two were asked about several topics, including what it’s like to get new IP started at Nintendo, and they also discussed why original characters were the only fit as opposed to established ones.

As usual, we’ve picked out some excerpts from the interview below. You can find the full interview on Game Informer.

During a Nintendo Direct last year, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma spoke about changing the conventions of the series. One of these points concerned the tradition of playing by yourself.

Hyrule Warriors, while not an actual/traditional Zelda game, does offer a multiplayer component. This led Game Informer to ask Aonuma in a recent interview if the Wii U title is a step in this direction and if there will be multiplayer in the next true Zelda release.

Aonuma responded by stating that we “will see in the future, maybe next year.”

Aonuma’s comments in full:

Suda51 doesn’t currently have any games lined up for Nintendo platforms. He told GameRevolution, “Right now there are no plans on Nintendo titles.”

I wonder if we’ll ever see No More Heroes 3. Suda51 did promise the game a few years ago!
