During an investor’s briefing Q&A several weeks ago, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata made a few remarks stating that he wouldn’t lay off staff simply to improve the company’s financial situation. Instead, Iwata is interested in making great games. This is something that has resonated well with Lorne Lanning, creator of Oddworld.

Lanning, speaking with GamesBeat in a new interview, spoke highly of Iwata as a whole. He went as far as to say that he’d “work with him in a second.” And Nintendo overall? Lanning thinks that they’ll still be here in 100 years.

Lanning said:

News has come out today that French mass-media-multicorporation Vivendi is planning on selling the majority of its stock in game publisher Activision-Blizzard, a move that would break the company from the shackles of shareholder interests and return it to being a publicly traded and by-and-large independent company.

What does this mean for their games? Not much. Business should operate as usual over at the publisher, and CEO Bobby Kotick will remain in position after purchasing the shares from Vivendi for a hefty $2.34 billion in cash.

Tough to say, and a worthy discussion to have I think!


This is a survey that requires no signing up, accounts, clicking through ads, or anything. Just answer a required question, answer a non-required question (if you want) and make your voice heard in yet another NintendoEverything reader survey poll thing! Results will be read in the form of our top ten list on the next podcast, and if you opted to answer the written question your answer could be read on the show! So don’t say anything ridiculous.

Thanks very much. As stated above the topic for you guys this week is “Do you think the Wii U Gamepad has “justified” its own existence?”.

Take the survey here! (more details inside if you’re confused)

“So I think video games are becoming an important, and a dominant form of entertainment worldwide. And in that landscape, I truly feel that our shooters, racers, and our mainstream games have been covered, checked off and done well. To really push games into the realm of culture and art, I feel that only doing realistic mainstream games won’t be enough; we need to pursue new frontiers and new horizons with what we do, and the process of creation shouldn’t be contained.”

“Therefore, I feel at Grasshopper one of our obligations– our duties– to the video game world is to create revolutionary titles that really push the status quo.”

– Game designer Suda51


One of the few folk truly approaching game design from an artistic standpoint, Suda certainly lives up to what he says with every game he’s made that I’ve played. I’m not sure we need every single developer to go down the road he’s on, but I do agree that more people should approach game design in fundamentally the same way.
