In closing out an interview with Takashi Tezuka, NZGamer asked the legendary game designer if there’s any hope for a Mario Sunshine sequel or a Majora’s Mask remake for 3DS.
Tezuka responded by saying – off the record – that he wishes Nintendo could explore these kinds of ideas. “I personally would like to enjoy those again,” he noted “but I don’t have any information.”
Check out the full exchange between NZGamer and Takashi Tezuka below:
Along with comments about Yoshi’s Wooly World, NZGamer’s interview with Takashi Tezuka contains various bits about Mario Maker. You can find those remarks below and the full interview here.
NZGamer has published a new Yoshi’s Wooly World interview with Takashi Tezuka. You can find excerpts from the discussion below and the full thing here.
Being a left-handed gamer isn’t so easy. A lot of titles don’t accommodate such users too well, making it difficult to play.
This is something that Shigeru Miyamoto seems to understand. And he told Kotaku that he’ll talk to his teams about seeing what can be done.
Miyamoto stated:
The creation of Mario Maker isn’t exactly traditional. Nintendo’s Takashi Tezuka originally set out to make a new Mario Paint game for Wii U that would leverage the GamePad.
Partway through, Tezuka changed his mind and the project we know of today became Mario Maker. He believed that creating Mario courses is much easier than drawing and would be more accessible.
Tezuka told NintendoWorldReport:
“So what I particularly like about Mario Paint is that it’s not just about drawing. It’s playing with the software itself and having fun with it as you draw. So I wanted to take those fun, clever little things from Mario Paint and implement them in Mario Maker, so it’s a lot more than just a course editor.”
As previously mentioned, Mario Maker came about from Nintendo’s internal Mario course editing tools. The team eventually created a prototype that they felt would be enjoyable for gamers.
