“We’re taking advantage of MotionPlus. It’s become very natural – the movement of your arms is precisely reflected in the gameplay. Thanks to the technological advancements, we hope the gameplay can be more accessible to people.” – Eiji Aonuma

Aonuma also talked about the structure of Zelda Wii once again and provided a response similar to what we posted yesterday…

“We’re making efforts regarding the total flow of the Zelda game. So far, the basic flow of the Zelda games is you’re exploring a field, you go to a dungeon, you conquer it and return to the field. We’re looking at altering that traditional flow. That’s all I can share, and I can’t say more until E3 next year.”

– NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe to Launch Flight Action Title Based on Acclaimed Anime Feature Film in PAL Regions February 2010 –

CERGY-PONTOISE, FRANCE –19 November 2009 – NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S today confirmed the Europe and PAL release of Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces, the flight action game exclusively for Wii based on the acclaimed 2008 Japanese anime feature film from internationally renowned director Mamoru Oshii. The game will bring its unique blend of high altitude fighter action and beguiling Japanese anime production values to Wii players in Europe and beyond on February 2010.

Developed by Project Aces, the team behind Ace Combat at NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. in Japan, Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces pushes the Wii hardware to the extremes of its capabilities, delivering an impressively hi-fidelity rendition of intense arcade-style aerial combat. The Wii Nunchuk is used as a joystick to control the planes in flight, and the high altitude action is supplemented with over 30 minutes of gorgeous anime cinematics. The brand new story has been created by the Project Aces team in close collaboration with the licensor, keeping faithful to the Sky Crawlers universe.

“You will have to wait until next year when we can elaborate on this and many other things,” said Aonuma. “But what I can tell you is that yes I have read some of the speculation, and some of it is right! That is all I can say at the moment.” – Eiji Aonuma

Aonuma is talking about the artwork Nintendo released at E3, but he wouldn’t say anything else. The speculation probably is related to Link’s missing sword in the image.

In the past, Marvelous Entertainment has lamented about poor sales of Wii titles. A few months ago, a company employee said that he felt like crying over Wii sales. And in a financial conference Q&A today, Marvelous revealed a troubling statistic – The company lost money on three out of the four titles that they published for Wii in the first half. While this surely is unfortunate news, hopefully Marvelous will find a better way to profit from their Wii releases in the future,
