First six Pokemon Generations episodes now available in Japanese
Posted 7 years ago by Matt in General Nintendo, News, Videos | 5 Comments
Most of you are probably familiar with Pokemon Generations – the webseries has been running on Youtube for a while now, and there are only four episodes left. But did you know that Pokemon Generations wasn’t available in Japanese until today? Despite being obviously produced in Japan, the episodes were only uploaded to The Pokemon Company’s various international Youtube channels in a variety of languages, but never to their Japanese channel. That changed today, however, as the first six episodes are now available in Japanese. You can check them out on the Japanese Pokemon Youtube channel here.

Miyamoto discusses Super Mario Run’s appeal to novice and expert players, developing over years
Posted 7 years ago by Jake in Mobile | 3 Comments
Shigeru Miyamoto made an appearance at the SoHo Apple Store in New York City, where he touched on some of the concepts behind Super Mario Run, as well as his own growth as a developer. Part of what inspired the simple design of Super Mario Run was the difference between advanced and novice Mario players, where the former knows how to properly run, while the latter might find holding the run button troublesome. The constant running was ideal to appease both camps, and items like Special Blocks were added to give some variance. He also noted that the idea for a one-button Mario had been floating around between him and frequent co-developers Takashi Tezuka and Toshihiko Nakago for a while.
Miyamoto was also asked about the differences in developing from when he started to the current day. On his continued enthusiasm for games, he stated:
I keep making games because people keep playing games, and one of the reasons I like to continue to make games is because technology keeps evolving and I keep having my own personal life experiences and I keep looking for ways to combine the two into new games.
He also noted the differences between early games and how small their teams could be, whereas modern games require larger teams, where people’s individual work can get lost. He also pointed out the benefit of how much easier it is to update games.
