With Splatoon’s visual style, Nintendo wanted to do something “different” from the competition.
“Shooters have tended to become more realistic, but it’s not Nintendo’s way to do that,” legendary video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto told EDGE this month. “It’s [got] to be different from what other folks are doing.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Miyamoto touched on shooters in general. While Nintendo may not visit these types of games on a regular basis, Miyamoto said he likes their controls and he wouldn’t say that he’s not interested in the genre.
Miyamoto’s comments in full:
Activision has a new singing title coming to Wii U, Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. “The Voice: I Want You” will be released on October 21, according to a listing on Amazon.
Amazon’s listing states:
The Voice video game brings all the excitement of the hit TV show to your living room. From the Blind Auditions, to the Battle Rounds, all the way to the Finale, experience the TV show with the ultimate goal of being named “The Voice.”
The Voice: I Want You will include “chart-topping hits spanning Rock, R&B, Pop and Country”. Party Mode supports up to eight people, and there’s a Voice Coach Mode in which you’ll “learn tips and techniques to help improve your performances including breathing, singing runs and harmonizing”. Amazon’s listing additionally includes the following tidbit: “Impress the coaches and watch them compete for you to join their team.”
You can find a few screenshots from The Voice: I Want You below.
Today’s episode of Pokémon Get?TV featured new footage from Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre were both showcased, and it is now confirmed that the two creatures use brand new moves as opposed to reanimated moves. No word yet on what they’re called, but that information should appear soon.
Earlier today, concept art from a supposed Next Level Games-made Metroid prototype surfaced. We weren’t too sure if the images were real, but Destructoid has since verified their authenticity.
Destructoid also spoke “to a trusted source related to the project”. The site was told the following:
“Yes that is real. That’s the first I’d actually seen of that concept art, but a prototype was made before being shelved in favor of Luigi’s Mansion 2. It was about as bare-bones as it gets, but it was still pretty fun.”
