Next Level Games is now one of Nintendo’s most-reliable western developers. The studio completed arguably its best game ever in Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, but previously worked on Punch-Out!! and the Mario Strikes titles.

Discussing the series of “steps” Next Level took as the team worked on new Nintendo projects, Dark Moon producer Ken Yeeloy said:

“Haha, it kind of feels like that! I think we’ve also been tagged in some circles as the ones who can revive old Nintendo franchises. I think we’ve solidified our studio’s ability to collaborate with Nintendo to create high quality games. I am certainly excited to see what IPs we get to work on next!”

And when asked what Next Level would like to work on assuming they had the choice, Yeeloy commented:

“Really, we are grateful to work on any Nintendo IP but if there are any wish-granting entities listening out there, we would love a chance to work on a Zelda or Mario game!”

Second-Screen Gaming Takes Center Stage

–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo:

WHAT:

Nintendo is bringing its Wii U console to Downtown Disney at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Fla., as part of a six-city tour to give people a chance to experience second-screen gaming for themselves. The tour is free and open to the public, and will include hands-on time with a wide selection of Wii U games, including Nintendo Land™, New Super Mario Bros.™ U, LEGO®City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate from Capcom and Need for Speed Most Wanted U from Electronic Arts. (Playable games may vary by location.)

Visitors will be able to play all these Wii U games in a comfortable, living room setting surrounded by backdrops of some of Nintendo’s most beloved characters. Visitors can even pose for pictures with props from various Nintendo franchises and Tweet photos of the event with a unique hashtag to receive a special gift while supplies last.

For more information about the Wii U Tour, please visit http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu/events/tour.


SEGA has opened an official Japanese website for Sonic Lost World. You can find it here.

Because it’s a teaser site, it doesn’t contain much at present. Fans can, however, watch Sonic Lost World’s debut trailer.

Two videos for the price of one tonight!

Unfortunately, there isn’t much footage from Nintendo’s E3 2002 conference. That leads to more trailers rather than content directly from the briefing. We did end up with one of the first clips from F-Zero GX, as well as new looks at titles such as Super Mario Sunshine and Zelda: The Wind Waker.


E3 2003 was certainly more exciting from the perspective of available footage, but it is sort of known as one of Nintendo’s duds. Two big aspects were highlighted during the conference: GameCube to Game Boy Advance connectivity and partnerships. Zelda: Four Swords and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes were arguably the two biggest announcements. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles was made public as well. Shigeru Miyamoto popped up on stage to reveal that he was working on a Pac-Man title for the GameCube… which was kind of Nintendo’s main announcement for the show.

Check back tomorrow as we take a look at Nintendo’s E3 2004 conference, featuring the unveil of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
