Miyamoto provides The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword status update
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
At E3, Shigeru Miyamoto said that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was nearly complete. In fact, at a roundtable discussion following Nintendo’s press conference, Miyamoto explained that the game would have already been released had Twilight Princess’ art style been used. It seemed as though only the game’s dungeons and bosses needed to be worked on before the title could ship to stores.
But perhaps Skyward Sword isn’t as far along as we thought. In an interview with Pocket-lint, Miyamoto stated that the game is “over half complete.” Based on the wording used, I wouldn’t be so sure that Skyward Sword will be released in early 2011, as was originally promised. Miyamoto went on to discuss his interest in making the game “very dense.”
“What we are focused on is creating gameplay mechanics so the gameplay experience feels very dense. In fact, the overall experience is going to feel more dense. We hope that people will want to go back and replay the game once they finish it.”
Miyamoto says rivals need to find something new to offer, discusses 3DS, and much more

Miyamoto on Microsoft talking about catering for “Wii graduates”…
“I don’t think the Wii is something that people need to graduate from. Of course, I am happy that motion is fashionable now. But when we make games, we are not trying to produce trendy products. It needs to be an experience that’s meaningful, and the motion control needs to add something. So our new Zelda game takes motion control and adds something to the game to make you feel like you’re part of the adventure. I think our rivals need to find what it is they have to offer that’s new.”
EW’s Jensen on choosing Kirby’s Epic Yarn as 2010’s worst game
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
I’m sure you guys haven’t forgotten about Entertainment Weekly’s choices for the “Worst Games of 2010.” Kirby’s Epic Yarn was actually the top pick – to the surprise of many fans. Jeff Jensen has apparently received a great deal of feedback for his decision. As a result, Jensen has composed a lengthy article discussing the reason for picking Kirby as the worst game. Here’s an excerpt:
“Still, do I seriously think Kirby is the worst game of the year … or do I just strongly dislike it, think its wildly overrated, had some major aesthetic and philosophical objections to it, and hoped to use my ‘Worst’ entry to provoke debate about cutesyness? I’d say more of the latter. So yes, I have a small pang of regret for calling Kirby’s Epic Yarn “the worst game of the year,” but only a small pang, especially since it’s barely a game. But if you asked me for my top-10 list of interactive storybooks for children, it would be pretty close to No. 1. After all: It is really, really cute.”

Retro City Rampage coming to XBLA, Wii version delayed
Posted on 13 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 0 comments
The previously Wii-exclusive downloadable game Retro City Rampage has been delayed until next year, according to the game’s creator, but an additional XBLA version of the game will be coming out alongside it as well.
For those that aren’t familiar yet, Retro City Rampage is a game made by Brian Provinciano, an indie game dev, that spoofs everything there is to spoof about the gaming industry nowadays. It’s a retro-inspired GTA-like game played in 8-bit style that was original supposed to come out this month. Now, the release date stands at “Fall 2011” with the 360 version coming next summer.
Talk about a kick to the groin for Wii owners!
