Angry Birds creator Jaakko Iisalo has achieved great success, which could be contributed to Nintendo. Iisalo told EDGE this month that the Big N as well as Shigeru Miyamoto are two of his biggest influences.
He said:
“I’m still heavily inspired by the classic 8- and 16-bit era of gaming, though, Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo being biggest influences.”
I know what my answer would be…
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.

The Earthworm Jim Facebook page is managed primarily by Doug TenNapel (creator), with some extra comments by MIke Dietz and Ed Schofield, all of whom worked on the series in some official capacity. Whether this means anything is hard to say… he could have just been thinking about the 3D entry in the series and pondering how fans don’t really think too highly of it!
Namco Bandai put out one Tekken game on the 3DS, Tekken 3D: Prime Edition. This was a traditional Tekken experience. But if another entry in the series were to come to 3DS, it would probably be a card game.
Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada told French website Pockett:
“If we were to make a new Tekken game for Nintendo 3DS … We would do something else. A card game like Tekken Card Tournament is more likely. But, to date, there is no such plan.”
