indieszero made NES Remix, but Nintendo was still very much involved with the game’s development. In fact, two prominent staffers from EAD Tokyo contributed to the project.
Koichi Hayashida, director of Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario 3D Land, served as director. We found out about this previously through a message Hayashia posted on Miiverse.
Yoshiaki Koizumi also worked on NES Remix as producer. Koizumi previously directed Super Mario Galaxy and produced Super Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario 3D Land, and Super Mario 3D World.

Rumor: Minecraft coming to Wii U next summer
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 22 Comments
Minecraft may be making its way to Wii U next year, if a report from Nintendo Enthusiast is to be believed.
The site claims – via a “retailer source” – that Mojang has Wii U dev kits at its disposal and is targeting a release next summer.
Not much is known about how Minecraft will play on Wii U at this time, though the team is apparently “focusing on the GamePad”.
A word of advice: take this rumor with a huge grain of salt for now.
