Eiji Aonuma says tech difficulties don’t prevent elements from being added to Zelda games
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
Technical difficulties do not prevent Nintendo from adding certain elements to Zelda games. That’s according to series producer Eiji Aonuma, who was speaking with GamesTM last month.
Aonuma gave an example by discussing The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Aonuma said “it was a technical challenge to make Link’s sword swings match the motion controls completely,” and he also had some concerns as to how the feature would be received by players. However, the team ended up pursuing motion controls because Aonuma felt “in the end many users would enjoy the unique gameplay”.
Aonuma told GamesTM:

Wii Fit U causing lock up issues when transferring save data from Wii Fit/Wii Fit Plus
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Some users have been expereicning lock up issues with Wii Fit U due to issues stemming from Wii Fit/Wii Fit Plus save transfers.
At the very least, Nintendo is aware of the situation. The Big N says you may encounter problems if any of the following conditions are met:
Two or more sets of user data were created in Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus and the data created earlier was deleted.
A Mii character used in Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus is registered in the Wii U Mii Maker.
The data from Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus is transferred to the Wii U.
One would hope that a patch is already in the works. Hopefully we’ll see an update soon!

Disney Infinity boosted Disney Interactive’s gaming sector during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, with revenues rising from 93 percent to $396 million. Operating profit came in at $16 million, which is a significant turnaround from last year’s $76 million loss.
