We posted this video earlier, but it had the last few seconds of footage cut off. It was actually right as Miyamoto was mentioning Pikmin Wii U.
“#E3 is now over. Since this is my last #IwataSays guest tweet, I want to say thank you for allowing me to spend time with you.”
Reading Iwata’s tweets was actually very interesting! It’s too bad that this was a one-time thing. Perhaps he’ll think about tweeting again next year.
Update: As Austin points out, he’s actually featured in this video. I must have been blind! You can see him at the very beginning of the video with the Wiimote/nunchuck shirt and backpack.
What would E3 be without stampedes?!
According to Yosuke Hayashi, head of Team Ninja, the DS control scheme found in Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword will be brought over to Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge for Wii U. However, the development team is also implementing traditional button and analog stick-based controls as well.
“It was almost like fate that we’re making making Ninja Gaiden 3 and then we have the option to bring in Dragon Sword controls, that kind of gameplay, to a high spec console version. We feel we’ll be able to give players a new kind of gameplay, a new feel with the new controller.”
This information comes from Square producer Yoshinori Kitase…
“Three or four years ago we joked around about developing a Final Fantasy game on the Wii Fit balance board. But after seeing Wii U revealed at Nintendo’s conference, we are now considering the possibilities of bringing the Final Fantasy series to the format.”
I’m sure we’ll get a Final Fantasy on Wii U at some point. Only question is, what type of game will it be? A mainline entry, a Crystal Chronicles title, or something entirely different?
