This information comes from a recent shareholder meeting…
– Miyamoto wants to make Pikmin available quickly
– Miyamoto feels a new character needs to be made since it’s been 10 years since Pikmin
– 3DS might display play time like the Wii
– Nintendo not planning a theme park, wouldn’t be a traditional theme park even if Nintendo did so
– When asked about what he’s working on: Miyamoto has been very interested in swimming lately
– Miyamoto also a member of a youth guidance organization and spends time with school children
– Even with the 3DS, Nintendo is always thinking about making new things
– 3DS was at this event
– One demonstration showed flowing water and a wine glass in E3
– Manipulate camera view with d-pad or slide pad
– Mario figures, Mario Bros. sequence, Yoshi sequence, three Pikmin in the grass also shown
– Lastly, a clip of Twilight Princess Link slashing his sword was shown
Nintendo on Ocarina of Time 3DS, when asked if it’ll be like the demo of Twilight Princess Link swinging his sword/if the polygon visuals will be different…
“We can’t share details, but it does have expressive capabilities…This is because the capabilities are of course higher.”
Miyamoto on the new game character…
“It’s about time for a new game character. Perhaps this can be delivered next year.”
Miyamoto on his time with the 3DS, who said he’s busy with the system…
“I’ll suddenly have ideas, so being busy now is a good condition.”
Iwata on the possibility of releasing software for the iPad…
“We have absolutely no plans to offer software.”
de Blob 2 “pushing the Wii to its limits”
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
“The gameplay and game structure is much tighter and less ambiguous, and I believe this offers more rewards for the mainstream audience, while presenting new challenges for those more versed in videogame tropes. The visual impact of the new game can only be described as face-melting. We’re pushing the Wii to its limits to make everything look amazing.” – Nick Haggar, executive producer
I always thought that the first de Blob looked pretty nice graphically. The sequel looks like it’s continuing to produce impressive visuals, too.
Quick update on Jett Rocket 2
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
Yesterday we found out that Shin’en has plans to continue on with Jett Rocket through the title’s ending credits. I asked the company about the sequel, though unsurprisingly, there wasn’t much that they were willing to reveal yet. Addressing the question of which system Jett Rocket 2 will end up on, Shin’en said, “in which form or which plattform is to be determined.” So it sounds like the future of the series isn’t set in stone at the moment. Keep your fingers crossed that the next title ends up on Nintendo’s console!
By the way, I really hope you guys downloaded Jett Rocket, or plan to soon at least. It’s by far the most visually impressive WiiWare title I’ve seen thus far, and it’s quite fun as well! I’ve only managed to play through a bit of the game since I’ve been busy with a few things, but right now I’d recommend it to anyone looking to spend some points on the Wii Shop Channel.
