Aonuma may have something to show about Zelda being more than a single-player experience next year
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 19 Comments
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:

Nintendo on how Splatoon came to be, couldn’t have been made without the GamePad
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
In an interview with Eurogamer, Splatoon producer Hisashi Nogami opened up on the game’s origins. It started out as a prototype with an idea from programmer Shintaro Sato, who was attempting to create something new.
Nogami said:
“It’s something we do a lot of at EAD. We’re constantly making different prototypes with different game ideas to see what’s going to be good. One prototype that a programmer made was just this kind of idea of shooting ink on the ground, and doing a territory control game. We played it, thought it was really fun and maybe we can make a full game out of this.”

Nintendo teases Wii U/3DS communication plans, including unannounced projects – Mario and Donkey Kong
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 5 Comments
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS are the first two games to truly take advantage of communication features between both of Nintendo’s systems. You might be wondering why this functionality hasn’t been pursued sooner.
Shinya Takahashi, the GM of Nintendo Software Planning & Development, told IGN:
“With Smash Bros., because the two games have the same gameplay and the same controls, that game in particular is designed where you’ll want to start playing on the 3DS first and build up your characters there, and then transfer that character data over to the Wii U and play with them there.”
Shigeru Miyamoto also chimed in:

Platinum discusses the Nintendo costumes in Bayonetta 1
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 14 Comments
PlatinumGames put up a blog post today covering the Nintendo costumes in the first Bayonetta. Players will be able to try out Link, Samus, and Peach outfits.
One interesting tidbit concerns Hideki Kamiya’s involvement – the game’s original director. He “carefully checked” each one, and Kamiya was said to be “very particular about how each costume should look before passing approval.” Kamiya also requested using the original Power Suit for the Samus outfit.
