Nintendo has published an incredibly intriguing Iwata Asks interview regarding Swapnote. We learn that the project started out for the DSi and hear about Nikki’s origins – including her name. Yu Kitai, Daji Imai, Motomasa Kondo, Satoshi Takenouchi, and Satoru Iwata participated in the discussion.
Head past the break for details from the latest Iwata Asks.
Looks like there’s no demo this week…

Last year, Nintendo/Retro Studios hired employees from various Western studios, including Naughty Dog and Vigil. These weren’t the company’s only significant moves, however.
In September, Crytek’s Director of Technology Mark Atkinson joined Nintendo. Atkinson is currently a “Consultant Software Engineer”.

Radiant Historia has become a rare commodity and it’s tough to find the game at most retailers. That’s because the game went through just one round of printing.
Interestingly, Atlus is asking fans if they’d purchase Radiant Historia assuming the company reprinted the title.
Atlus posted on Twitter and Facebook today:
“So… assuming a #RadiantHistoria reprint COULD happen, there’d be folks willing to buy it, right?”
Would any of you guys pick up Radiant Historia if you already haven’t?
