Aonuma hopes to give players “a little more freedom to choose their path the story takes” with Zelda Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
With the upcoming Zelda game for Wii U, producer Eiji Aonuma wants to provide players with “a little more freedom to choose their path the story takes.”
Aonuma told GenGAME:
The impact of the player character on the environment that has been, and really, having the player experience the impact, is something that is consistent through all versions of the Zelda games, but I want to continue to have players experience that and even build upon that experience. In traditional Zelda games there is kind of an order in which you do things. You can’t do 3 until you do 1 and 2 for example. But with the new Zelda game, I really want to open the opportunities up for the players to really make an impact on their environment and to give them a little more freedom to choose their path the story takes.
Lots of little interesting comments and teases from Aonuma over the past week. It’ll be neat to see how everything comes together!

Tezuka: Mario Maker multiplayer is “an interesting idea”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
While speaking with Takashi Tezuka, NintendoWorldReport brought up the possibility of multiplayer in Mario Maker. The idea would be that one person edits Mario courses on the GamePad while another player jumps in and play with another controller.
This is something that Tezuka seems to be intrigued by. In response to the idea, he said, “Oh, that’s an interesting idea,” followed by laughter.

Little Orbit talks Wii U, says Nintendo shouldn’t be underestimated
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
In an interview with Polygon, Little Orbit founder and CEO Matt Scott had positive things to say about Wii U – which the publisher is supporting quite a bit.
Scott mentioned that “Wii U is an interesting platform” and had high praise for the GamePad. At the same time, he noted that at launch, Nintendo “didn’t lock the demographic down” and the console’s name led to some confusion.
Ultimately, despite issues that may surround Wii U, Scott believes we shouldn’t underestimate Nintendo.
You can find all of Scott’s comments below.
