Miyamoto tidbits: online, Retro making Zelda, more
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Following Shigeru Miyamoto’s acceptance of the Prince of Asturias Award, Gamereactor chatted with the legendary Nintendo designer about a variety of topics. Miyamoto talked about online (specifically related to the Wii U), the possibility of Retro making a Zelda game (yes, again!), and more.
Check out a few tidbits from the interview below.
– Premise: almost every Wii U user will already has Wiimote, Nunchuk and even WM+ – this gives freedom to devs. IR alternate pointing to both screens highly possible
– Miyamoto-san doesn’t think they fell behind with online, but now is the right moment and you ‘have’ to be online with the Wii U.
– Retro qualified for Zelda game, but being in America would leave less-dependent games for them (story, design Japan-only)
– They’ll encourage handwritten chatting with Miiverse
– 2 current goals are: own creation and creating teams which doesn’t need him.
– iPad Mini screen size is another indication they took the right path with GamePad design

Wii U branded Wiimotes move sync button to more accessible position
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
With the old Wiimotes, the sync button was hidden away behind the battery cover. That has changed with the updated model – the Wii U branded Wiimotes.
As shown in the picture above, the sync button has been moved. That should make it more accessible to those who need to connect the controller to the console.
