“There were a whole lot of requests from Mario Club. All the requests that we got were spot on. They really know what they’re talking about, because they have a lot of skill and knowledge. In a way, what we created was fine, but it was still rough around the edges. But I think by going through Nintendo, it really took out the unnecessary parts and refined it as a game.
Refinement is one of the most important aspects. The Nintendo influence was big, in a good way; at the same time it gave me confidence that if I really pushed my boundaries harder, then I can get to this level on my own.” ~ Takuya Matsumoto
It doesn’t surprise me at all that Nintendo lent a hand, given that a lot was expected of this game and they NEEDED something good to keep the Wii going even a tiny bit. Not that it’s really going at all, anyhow…
Just got an e-mail about it so I figured I’d share with you guys. You can vote on what the box art will be on their official Facebook page for the game, which is worth a like whether you vote or not.
That’s it. Short post.
How are you guys?

Some backstory first: CEDEC, the Computer Entertainment Developers Conference, is a yearly conference to be held on August 20th that has cool people talk about cool things to less-cool people who wanna learn about cool things.
Sort of. I may be misinterpreting a bit.
Anyway, this year’s CEDEC will be ‘headlined’ by Smash Bros., Kid Icarus, and Kirby developer Masahiro Sakurai, who’s going to be doing a good chunk of the talking alongside Yuichiro Anzai, chairman of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and Yuusei Uesugi, senior artist at Industrial Light & Magic. Good times to be had by all!

“Like I said, I know there’s going to be pressure on us to do another Castlevania game, but I don’t want to rise to that pressure. I want to do something else. I love Contra. I’d love to do Contra. At Mercury Steam we’ve got an original idea that I think is really awesome. We’d love to bring that idea to market and I’m hoping that the success of Lords of Shadow 2 will allow us to do that.” – Dave Cox, MercurySteam Entertainment
I honestly really appreciate when artists- musicians, game developers, whatever- do this. To turn down financial profit in favor of making games you love and not trapping yourself in a creative box is really respectable, and it shows that they’ll probably do a great job with Contra, should they ever have the chance to work on it.
