Yoshio Sakamoto, Metroid: Other M producer, on working with Team Ninja…

“The original design concept came from me, but then we went and assembled a team that could pull this off. And in this case it was people from Team Ninja, who we really thought was the best fit. But they’ve also provided a lot of core ideas that have influenced the direction of the game, particularly the director, Mr. Hayashi. So, as I mentioned in the speech today, it’s not so much that we’re dividing up tasks but collaborating as equals.

After E3 and the initial announcement a lot of people were making comments like, ‘Oh, it seems like they’ve dumped Retro for this series and they want to go with another developer,’ as if it was a big switch-off. But, in actuality, that is far from the case; rather, we just wanted to put together the best team that we could to make this project, which turns out to be Project M.”

Munich, Germany – March 12, 2010 – Shin’en Multimedia announces the EU release date of Art of Balance for WiiWareTM. for March 26, 2010 for 800 Wii PointsTM.

Grab your Wii Remote™ and build a balanced stack in this physics-based puzzler! Puzzle games must be addictive. This was our top priority during the development of the game. That’s why we designed 100 levels that not only challenge your skills but also your imagination. The game is easy to pick up and hard to put away. Play alone or invite a friend to grab a second Wii Remote and drop in at any time for co-op play. We even added a dedicated two players split-screen “versus” mode for extra fun. Art of Balance will be available exclusively via Nintendo’s WiiWare service.

I don’t think that IGN’s Matt Casamassina is lying here, but just because he’s heard rumbling about certain subjects doesn’t mean they’re necessarily true. So, take the following quotes with a grain of salt…

First, here’s what Casamassina had to say regarding Wii 2 in a recent article from GDC…

“Speaking of Nintendo, everyone seems to be waiting for word on the company’s next system. It’s the go-to question in interviews. ‘Yes, I understand Wii sold a bazillion units in December alone, but hey — when’s Wii HD coming?’ Yeah — I’m guilty of that one, too. And it’s no different when I talk to developers and publishers, nearly all of whom receive the obligatory query about new hardware — what and when? I always resign myself to the no comment or the no idea, but at GDC I struck a bit of a niblet when a developer said Nintendo told him it would be ready to roll with Wii 2 in 2012. Anybody with a brain would probably guess as much, but it is even so always refreshing to hear so from a semi-official source.

Next, Casamassina discusses why MotionPlus needs a lot of recalibration…

“The fact of the matter is, the Wii remote shipped with so many problems that Nintendo was forced to release an upgrade device that even needs constant recalibration. And Wii MotionPlus? Word on the street is that the heat from your hands de-calibrates the sensor.”

Again, none of this information is confirmed, although I suppose it’s a little more official than random speculation.
