The following comes from a German video interview with Shigeru Miyamoto. We’ve posted a rough translation of what was discussed below.
Miyamoto on the art shown at last year’s E3…
“This image plays an important role in the plot. At E3 you will see what I mean. But honestly said you will only remember the games, such as makes the joke much. So you wait until you play it yourself.”
Miyamoto on how many changes there will be in the game…
“For us, two things are important: to meet expectations and to surprise people. How we do it this time, I will not reveal. Normally, we create the video sequences, and these sequences are expanded. But this time we started with the game structure. And then with the video sequences. So this time it was reversed. Therefore, we have had little so far from the game to show. But will publish a lot close to the game’s completion. For us, it is important to the to optimize gameplay and make the controls easier. We do our best to make the controls player friendly, since ‘Zelda’ has become complicated.”

TNA’s Legendary Wrestler Hits the Ring in the New Handheld Game
MIDLOTHIAN, VA – May 14, 2010 – SouthPeak Games today proudly announced that the Nintendo DSTM version of TNA iMPACT! Cross the Line will see the return to video games of the biggest name in professional wrestling, Hulk Hogan. That’s right, brother, Hulkamania is back and exclusively on Nintendo DS!
Hulk Hogan is the most recognized personality in professional wrestling. Along with other titans of the ring including Sting, AJ Styles and Kurt Angle, he is on a mission to redefine wrestling in the ring and on your game system.
“Yes, we knew the controls had issues but frankly, we just ran out of time to fix them. When you’re making a game so unique the focus needs to be on those features and when the time is up you go out with what you have. Getting another year and starting with the core base of the original game will really help us nail down all of the issues that people had.” – Scribblenauts creator Jeremiah Slaczk
My biggest complaint with the first Scribblenauts was the controls. However, the team is clearly looking to iron out any issues with the sequels, and adding d-pad support will provide another option for players. Also, it’s always great to see a developer acknowledge any prominent mistakes in their game!

“[The original online mode was] pretty symmetrical, pretty safe. [The Invasion Mode is] similar to Horde Mode in Gears Of war 2 – just you and a bunch of buddies fighting against bad guys…we’re very interested in it (DLC). Whatever it takes to give legs to the community side is cool.” – Joshua Olson, producer
My biggest concerns with Conduit’s 2 online functionality are hackers and glitches. Those two issues were prominent in the original, though we’ve heard that the developers are trying to prevent those problems from creeping into the sequel.
