Miyamoto: Nintendo will make more products like New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 5 Comments

Shigeru Miyamoto was present at the New Super Mario Bros. Wii Coin Battle tournament finals in Japan. The tournament, which has been going on since February, finally ended yesterday. After all was said and done, Miyamoto had a few words to share about the tournament and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

“It was incredible! I watched with excitement, similar to watching the Olympics on television and cheering on the curlers. We made this game thinking that we wanted people to play while communicating with one anothe. But with just that, the gamer spirit would not rest, so we added the Coin Battle elements towards the end. This tournament does not give you the time to look at your surroundings. That is okay today. However, we want Mario to be enjoyed together. Today, we’ve all gathered here, so let’s hold hands. In particular, hold hands with the team that was your rival just now I originally did industrial design, and wanted to make tools — things that could be used to draw the Koopa Troopas, for instance. So, this game was made as a tool that everyone can play, rather than as a game that you strategize to clear. Tools are useful because everyone uses them. Play is like this. Even a single stick can be fun if everyone plays together. We plan on continuing to make this type of product, and would be happy if you’d play and play and build up what we’ve made into something even more interesting.”

THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE’S SEMINAL LP AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE BLAZES ONTO ROCK BAND
PLUS NEW “VALLEYS OF NEPTUNE” SINGLE FROM NEW HENDRIX ALBUM
JIMI HENDRIX NOW EXCLUSIVE TO ROCK BAND PLATFORM
Cambridge, Mass. – March 26, 2010 – Harmonix and MTV Games today announced The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s classic album, Axis: Bold As Love, along with the new Jimi Hendrix single, “Valleys of Neptune” from the new album will be added next week to the Rock Band Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™. Additionally, Jimi Hendrix’s music is now exclusive to Rock Band with more songs coming to its industry-leading platform in the future.
Hendrix’s music continues to resonate with music fans everywhere as proven by the long-awaited album of previously unavailable Jimi Hendrix studio recordings, Valleys of Neptune, which debuted last week on the Billboard 200 best-selling albums chart at #4. Moreover, four additional Hendrix catalog titles – Are You Experienced (#44), Electric Ladyland (#60), First Rays of the New Rising Sun (#63), and Axis: Bold As Love (#67) – have returned to the Billboard 200 four decades after their original release dates, a testimony to the enduring vitality and importance of the trailblazing artist-guitarist-performer.
