Konami’s friendly E3 2010 presenter Tak Fujii has expressed some interest in the Wii U platform. In a recent interview, Fujii said that the console seems like challenge, though he does find it interesting.
“It’s a very interesting challenge to me. Touching is something Nintendo made for the first time on the DS. …Nintendo is also looking for the next level of the console, which is very interesting. I don’t know how I can use it yet, but we’ll see.”
Tak Fujii is currently working on multiple projects. On the Nintendo-side of things, Fujii is developing Frogger 3D for the 3DS.
I’m extremely glad this this title is in the works for the Wii and 3DS (unless Nintendo’s E3 3DS list was inaccurate…). It was a bit odd that the title was originally announced for just the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. 2D platformers have done pretty well on Wii!
While I’m more interested in Renegade Kid’s other 3DS title, Mutant Mudds, this could turn out to be an enjoyable racer.

Europe has done an amazing job with Xenoblade up to this point. First, they’re localizing the game and putting some effort into the title, which is extremely important. Recently they also let fans vote on the alternative art that would be used for the title’s cover. And it looks like they’re also going to be releasing a special Classic Controller in support of Xenoblade’s launch.
But here’s the bad news for North America. Since Xenoblade wasn’t announced for the territory, it was unlikely that it would show up at E3 even though Nintendo’s European division had some presence at the show. But apparently Nintendo of America said they wouldn’t let the title appear at all since they aren’t interested in displaying products that they won’t sell.
That’s really disappointing… but I’m still hoping for an eventual North American release. Nintendo is going to have to fill the Wii’s final year by releasing at least a few titles, so why not Xenoblade?!
