Like Square Enix’s last title for Wii, Mario Sports Mix, Itadaki Street Wii will have online play. Famitsu reports that the game allows users to connect with others around the country. However, it sounds like the title might not have worldwide play. In any case, I suppose it’s encouraging to see Nintendo/Square Enix incorporating online functionality into their projects more often.

Eiji Aonuma has revealed that Nintendo considered not implementing Wii MotionPlus for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. The team planned on incorporating the technology for a couple of years, but at one point, Aonuma wasn’t so sure if he wanted to pursue usage of the peripheral. As a matter of fact, development of Skyward Sword continued without MotionPlus for two or three months.

As we all know, MotionPlus did indeed return, though perhaps it might not have happened that way if Wii Sports Resort designer Katsuya Eguchi never spoke with Aonuma. Aonuma told IGN, “Mr. Eguchi came to me and said, ‘Look at all these things you can do with Motion Plus, why wouldn’t you use this in a Zelda game? It would be strange not to!'”

You might be interested to know that the E3 2010 demo of the game was just a taste of what was to come. It was really just a preview of basic swordplay rather than an indication of how Skyward Sword would end up. Within the past year, it seems like the development team began to highlight “bringing bigger and bolder swordplay experiences to the game.”

Aonuma also told the site:

“This last year we’ve been testing those ideas, flushing them out, and integrating them into the game, bringing the whole package together. Tying all those elements together has been a big part of what we’ve done in the last year.

I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a bunch of other neat easter eggs/game references as more people have  chance to play the game. Not just for Skyward Sword, but possibly other titles as well. It’s been interesting to see what sort of changes and additions have made to Ocarina of Time 3D, including the small touches.

Next week should be very, very interesting. Will 3DS sales rise with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D? And how much will that game sell? Nintendo’s supposedly putting out a limited shipment…

Sure, we all know most of the major news from Nintendo’s E3 2011 press conference: The Wii U was revealed, Luigi’s Mansion and Super Mario hit the 3DS, third-party developers finally got onboard with a Nintendo console… But there was plenty of other Nintendo-related news throughout the week, some of which you might have missed, and you really don’t want to sort through about twenty pages of E3 information here on Nintendo Everything. So here’s some other important things we learned about Nintendo’s games and consoles at E3 2011:
