“There were a whole lot of requests from Mario Club. All the requests that we got were spot on. They really know what they’re talking about, because they have a lot of skill and knowledge. In a way, what we created was fine, but it was still rough around the edges. But I think by going through Nintendo, it really took out the unnecessary parts and refined it as a game.

Refinement is one of the most important aspects. The Nintendo influence was big, in a good way; at the same time it gave me confidence that if I really pushed my boundaries harder, then I can get to this level on my own.” ~ Takuya Matsumoto

It doesn’t surprise me at all that Nintendo lent a hand, given that a lot was expected of this game and they NEEDED something good to keep the Wii going even a tiny bit. Not that it’s really going at all, anyhow…

Shin’en boss Manfred Linzner has offered some high praise for the Wii U’s hardware.

In an interview with ONM, Linzner delivered encouraging sentiments that the console is easy to develop for and its power can be utilized properly. He said that the studio was able to easily run a fairly complex game world containing “thousands of animated objects”.

According to Linzner:

“The Wii U hardware has a great architecture and, most importantly, it is easy for developers to utilise its power. For instance, we have a very action-heavy game with literally thousands of animated objects, but had no problems rendering the complete gameworld, twice, for the Wii U controller display in two-player mode.”

Linzner later made a suggestion for Nintendo. He feels that the company should re-release Wii software for the new console in HD. These games, Linzer believes, “would look and play better than many current titles.”

“You could easily take many original Wii titles from Retro Studios or Nintendo and release them again in HD and they would look and play better than many current titles. I believe that the most important resource in game development is the developers, rather than the actual hardware.”

If you ask me, we need a “NBA 2K” game with Walt Frazier on the box! I know that there’s no way that’ll happen, though.
