During a press conference in Tokyo earlier today, Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada commented on what fans can expect in terms of online play. Wada said, “We’re not making them all online. We’ll continue with a variety of developments, online included.”

It’s no secret that G4 has been involved with quite a bit of Nintendo bashing in the past. I can still remember when Morgan Webb essentially called Super Mario Galaxy kiddy a couple of years ago.
And now they’re at it again! In a video that covers action games, Webb and Adam Sessler touch briefly on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword… except their comments aren’t too positive.

Go Vacation team consists of over 200 staffers, in development for over two years, more
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Go Vacation isn’t your average mini-game collection. You might have been able to determine that for yourself at this point based on some of the footage and impressions that have been made available thus far. What may surprise you, however, is how in-depth development has been.
Kenya Kobayashi, producer on the title, revealed in an interview with Inside-Games at TGS that over 100 employees have been working on the project. It’s actually been in development for two and a half years.
The team has been looking to create an experience that will act not only as the ultimate family game, but also become the definitive Wii title. Players can explore open 3D environments as well as try out fifty mini-games. New games will be added to your collection as you explore – which can be done by walking, swimming, and riding vehicles – and you may even encounter some secret treasure chests or hidden areas.
According to Kobayashi, playing all of the mini-games could take 15 to 20 hours. In total, around 100 or 200 hours of content can be expected for those who are interested in experiencing every facet of the title. 8 save slots can be used, which will be great for consumers who anticipate their whole family getting involved.
