Logos – Kid Icarus, Mario Party 9, PokePark 2, Rhythm Heaven Fever
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Kid Icarus: Uprising has a new logo, and I’m not sure that I like the change. It is just a logo though, so there’s no reason to make too much of a fuss about it.
Aonuma says scrapped MotionPlus controls for Skyward Sword will be used in future Zelda games
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
Nintendo isn’t finished with MotionPlus controls for Zelda titles just yet. Eiji Aonuma told the Official Nintendo Magazine that there were some ideas they had that weren’t used in Skyward Sword.
These elements will appear in future Zelda games. Perhaps we’ll see some of these ideas in Zelda Wii U if Nintendo decides to use MotionPlus rather than the tablet controller (or maybe the two could be used together).
Aonuma told the magazine:
“We will want to use the Wii Motion-Plus controls that we did not use this time in future games, so we cannot tell you now. Please look forward to seeing them in the future.”

Namco Bandai could have brought Ridge Racer to Wii, went with Go Vacation instead
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Namco Bandai’s Masaya Kobayashi has revealed that Ridge Racer could have been made for Wii. However, Kobayashi believed that the console’s demographic consisted more of casual gamers, so he conducted some research and told the company that making a family title would be a wiser decision.
Kobayashi said:
“After making three Ridge Racer titles, my team was asked to make a new title for the Wii. They didn’t specify to make a new IP – in fact I think the company was probably asking me to make a Ridge Racer for it! But I thought that if it was for the Wii, the target audience is obviously different so I didn’t want to make a Ridge Racer for the Wii.
“Since it was the first time we made a game for the platform, we had to get some research data – when we looked into it, we realised that the target audience for the console was families. So rather than make a really hardcore game, we wanted to make a family-based game. I told the executives that if we were doing a Wii title than Family Ski would go down better. I presented my research, and the bosses trusted me to go ahead with it.”
