The 10 most important Nintendo games of the last decade

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, Features, GameCube, GBA, Wii | 11 Comments

The last decade saw a number of changes, not just for Nintendo, but for the gaming industry as a whole. As systems became more powerful we were introduced to new games, as well as new ways to play games. We were forced to say goodbye to some of our favorite developers and series, but we still discovered new ones, and even some old ones that had been forgotten over time. As time progressed from the year 2000 to 2009, gaming also progressed, changing from a fairly niche pastime to a culture that gained some degree of mainstream recognition. These are the 10 games for Nintendo systems that I feel best represent gaming over the last 10 years.

Cursed Mountain developer is no more

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments

After having developed just one title, Deep Silver Vienna has been shut down by Koch Media. The company cited poor sales of Cursed Mountain for the studio’s closure and noted that “this decision is not easy for us.” Rumor has it that co-founder and executive producer Hannes Seifert has found a new home at Square Enix Europe. But it is a shame that Deep Silver Vienna has been closed, especially after the promise that Cursed Mountain showed for the development team’s future.

Iwata explains Xenoblade’s name change

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

As many Nintendo fans know, Xenoblade was originally called Monado: Beginning of the World. The title was announced on the company’s E3 press site last year and suddenly resurfaced yesterday, with its new name. What was the motivation behind Xenoblade’s name change? Satoru Iwata explained at Nintendo’s latest financial briefing:

“At E3 2009 it was announced with a temporary name, ‘Monado: Beginning of the World.’ We decided to call it XENOBLADE to honor Mr. Tetsuya Takahashi who poured his soul into making this and who has been working on the XENO series.”
