How Traveller’s Tales chooses the next LEGO game
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 12 Comments
This information comes from Jonathan Smith, head of production at Traveller’s Tales…
“We get lots of letters. Massive lists, beyond everything you could possibly imagine, and then some. Our choice is very much based on what is the natural thing to do. We look for worlds that are full of different characters that are well loved by lots of different people, ideally people both young and old, and where we’ve got characters that can do fun things. So Indy could fight, the Jedi could use the force, and Harry Potter has all this magic that he can transform stuff with. So you just know there’s enough to get your teeth stuck into.”
We’ve seen some pretty interesting combinations of LEGO and other franchises…Star Wars, Harry Potter, Rock Band, Indiana Jones, and Batman. Is there anything in particular you guys would like to see in the future?

HAVING A BLAST! THE ORIGINAL FEMALE STAR OF GAMING
-The history of Samus Aran and the Metroid franchise-
Years before the introduction of 3D gaming, the original action heroine was already ripping up the rule book and blasting her way into history. The Metroid series has given us over twenty years of girl power and the series has sold over 15 million games, thanks to its female bounty hunter star, Samus Aran.
In the mid-1980s, a young game designer called Shigeru Miyamoto was busy revolutionising the industry with Mario and a young adventurer named Link. But while he created these masterpieces, Yoshio Sakamoto and the legendary R&D1 team at Nintendo were working on one of the most ambitious projects ever seen.

THE TIME IS NOW. SAMUS IS BACK IN METROID: OTHER M.

No need to wait any longer for the next instalment in one of the most legendary action adventure series in video game history. Metroid: Other M, the stunning collaboration between Team NINJA and the creators of the original Metroid, launches across Europe for Wii on 3rd September 2010.
Your adventure as dynamic heroine Samus Aran begins when you pick up an unidentified distress signal. Landing your spaceship and boarding the troubled mysterious decommissioned facilities will throw you headfirst into a gripping story that will have you struggling to take your eyes from the screen as the action unfolds and the true sense of Samus’s character is unfolded. The deeper you delve into the inside of the facilities, the more story is revealed – and the harder it will be to put your Wii controller down.

Classic Game Play, Immersive Graphics and Revealing Storyline Power New Metroid Game for Wii
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Samus Aran, protagonist of Nintendo’s Metroid™ series, is already known as one of the most iconic heroines in video game history. Now, with the launch of Metroid™: Other M for the Wii™ system today, players are about to discover more about this enigmatic bounty hunter than ever before. Combining crisp action, immersive graphics and multifaceted controls, this latest entry in the legendary Metroid franchise marks a return to classic form that will captivate fans and newcomers alike.
The result of a collaboration between Yoshio Sakamoto – the director of Super Metroid™ – and acclaimed development studio Team NINJA, Metroid: Other M thrusts players deep into an extraordinary science fiction adventure. While much of the game is played from a third-person perspective that is reminiscent of 2D side-scrollers, with the Wii Remote™ held horizontally, Metroid: Other M is a fully-rendered 3D world where players can also point at the screen to switch to first-person view. Allowing for intense action, precise shooting and detailed exploration of the game’s richly atmospheric environments, this control scheme combines classic elements with original mechanics to give players a new way to experience Samus’ latest adventure.
