Miyamoto on the transitions between hardware, not saying much on combining portable and console systems
Posted 9 years ago by Brian in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto, speaking with IGN…
“Well, we’re always experimenting with a lot of different kinds of new hardware. Certainly, we’ve put a focus more recently on what we can do to better improve the transition from one hardware system to the next. Going from GameCube to Wii, we were able to mature a smooth transition from one to the next in terms of the development environment. But with Wii to Wii U, there were some hurdles there that we had to overcome in making that transition to the new hardware system.”
“The question of whether or not we want to take a portable system and a home console system and decide if maybe, as the computer processing power improves, we could just simply say we’ll stick with a portable and make it something that could also be a home console system is a question that ties directly into product strategy, and is something I can’t really go into detail on.
“But what I can say is that, for the time being, our focus is really on developing and building these environments that will allow us to have a smooth transition from one hardware system to the next going forward. Other than that, you can look forward to what comes next.”

Mario Maker getting more graphical styles, Tezuka wants non-Mario graphics, music composition feature confirmed
Posted 9 years ago by Brian in News, Wii U | 12 Comments
This information comes from Takashi Tezuka…
“Obviously, there will be other graphical styles included. And nothing’s been decided yet, but I’d also like to include other graphics that aren’t Mario.”
“No, it won’t be top-down (if something like Zelda graphics were included). It’s always going to be a 2D platformer.”
– Tezuka said he plans to integrate more enemy and object types than what appeared in the E3 demo
– Tezuka also emphasized the inspiration Mario Maker draws from Mario Paint
– He said that he hopes to include features similar to those of Mario Paint, including a music composition feature
– As for Internet sharing and Miiverse integration, Tezuka admits those details are still being worked out as well, but that he’s mindful of players’ desire to show off their level designs to friends
“Sharing with friends is really the whole point of making levels.”
