Reggie Fils-Aime commented on a wide array of topics in a new interview with Techland. The Nintendo of America president briefly talked about the Wii U, how the DS remains important to the company, and more.

Fils-Aime also mentioned that the 3DS has surpassed sales of the original DS, and in a shorter timespan. The DS hit 2.37 million units in its first year while the 3DS already beat out that number in just eight months.

For more news from Reggie, head past the break.

IGN has published a series of interviews with Super Mario 3D Land director Koichi Hayashida. For the most part, Hayashida responses pertained to Mario’s latest outing.

However, he did share a noteworthy piece of information about Super Mario Galaxy. Hayashida mentioned that he came up with an idea of bringing back Kuribo’s Shoe for the project, but Yoshiaki Koizumi – the director of that title – rejected his proposal.

All of Hayashida’s comments can be found after the break.


Is it too early to start hyping up Zelda Wii U? Probably. Skyward Sword literally just shipped to stores a little more than a week ago.

Even so, Zelda fans are probably wondering about what Nintendo has in store for the next entry in the franchise. Eiji Aonuma wouldn’t divulge much to Nintendo Power (he mainly discussed the need to “challenge the conventions of Zelda”) but he also took a moment to tease “big things to come” for Zelda in general.

He told the magazine:

“Skyward Sword is a title where we took aim at all the conventions of the Zelda series. While that may have been difficult, I think that confronting those challenges resulted in something that has a great deal of value. When it comes to Wii U, we’ll obviously want to add new elements that take advantage of the capabilities of the platform. I think using that as a lens through which we once again challenge the conventions of Zelda is more important than just making another Zelda game. With that in mind, please expect big things from the Zelda series to come!”

I don’t know if I handle teases this soon – especially if it takes another five years to make a console Zelda!

Thanks to Jake for the tip!
