You better pay close attention when transferring content over from the Wii to Wii U. That’s because the process is a one-way process. Once content is sent over to the Wii U, it can’t ever go back to Wii.
Yasumi Matsuno shared a bit of out-of-the-blue news today: he’s already left Level-5. This comes as a surprise given that Matsuno joined the developer just a little more than a year ago.
On his Twitter account, Matsuno said that he departed last month following work on the localized version of Guild 01’s Crimson Shroud. He doesn’t have any immediate plans, but in the meantime, he’ll be taking a vacation of sorts.
Mega Man 5 will be hitting the Japanese eShop as a Famicom download on November 14 for 500 yen. Screenshots of the game can be found above.
In making the Wii U GamePad, the development team had to start from somewhere. There was a period of time when the controller was in a very early state and hadn’t come together, so Miiverse UI designer Kazuyuki Motoyama made a cardboard mockup model.
One of the points of the model was to see how the GamePad would feel in a person’s hands. It features a lid, a grip on the back, and you can even insert pieces of paper in the top for a different display.
In the latest Iwata Asks, Motoyama said that in the middle of the night, he “cut pieces of cardboard and glued them together.”
