Splatoon producer likens the game’s paint shooting to vandalism
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Shooting paint in Splatoon is “sort of like vandalism”, producer Hisashi Nogami told Polygon.
He said:
“Just talking about shooting paint, it’s sort of like vandalism. If we were all in this room and someone came in and said OK guys make this room as messy as you want, you’d probably get really happy and like, destroy things! I think people still have that child-like feeling of wanting to make a mess, wanting to get dirty. I think they would be able to enjoy this game. And I think people have that no matter how old they get.”

The newly announced Mii fighters operate a bit differently to traditional Smash Bros. characters thanks their customization options and today Sakurai explains a bit more about that:
Here are some weapons the Mii Swordfighter can use: Shurikens of Light, Chakrams, and Gale Strikes. You can control the direction the Chakram is thrown, or even make it stall in midair. The Chakram is also the only one of these tied to the side special move, so you can use one of the other items consecutively with this one.
Reggie: Wii U is second place in current console war, Nintendo doesn’t need to release another console
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 12 Comments
During an interview at last week’s E3, Reggie was asked whether or not he thought the Wii U could ever outsell the Playstation 4 or Xbox One. He had the following to say:
“The dirty little secret is if you look at life-to-date numbers, between Sony and Nintendo they’d be pretty close in terms of PS4 vs. Wii U, with Xbox coming in third place,”
“I think it’s going to be a three-horse race for the balance of this cycle.”
Reggie admitted that the delays of Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3 caused issues for the console at launch but also doesn’t think that warrants another console right away:
“We think that the Wii U has a long and vibrant life in front of it,”
“What it needs are games like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros Wii U and Splatoon – those types of games that can really drive the installed base. We believe if we can do that effectively the Wii U has a long and robust life.”
“The interesting point there is that when we announced the Wii U and when we announced all of the launch details, we fully expected games like Wii Fit U, Pikmin, the The Wonderful 101 to be in the launch window,”
“The Nintendo quality bar is really what kept us from launching those games potentially in February or March and so that’s what created the lack of software during that initial launch phase.”
