Nintendo on attending BitSummit and indies in Japan
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
In North America and Europe, Nintendo has had more and more of an indie presence over the past few years. But in Japan, you don’t really hear too much about what’s happening there.
There’s a reason for that. Until recently, Nintendo was pretty closed off in Japan. That’s starting to change with the introduction of the Nintendo Developer Portal. It’s now easier than ever for indie developers to put their games on Nintendo systems regardless of region.
In a recent issue of Famitsu, the magazine spoke with Nintendo about its indie initivates in Japan during a brief interview. Here’s a translation between the two sides:

Yuji Naka still wants to see Mario and Sonic co-star in an action game
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 12 Comments
Mario and Sonic have starred alongside each other in various games based on the Olympics over the years. However, that’s not what Yuji Naka – one of Sonic’s creators who has since moved on from SEGA – originally envisioned.
We’ve heard about this a bit in the past, but Naka spoke about the origins of Mario & Sonic in greater length in an interview with Famitsu. When he gave a presentation in front of Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto during the GameCube era, it was for an action game featuring the two characters. Unfortunately, that didn’t lead anywhere, but SEGA obtaining the license for the Olympics eventually led to Mario and Sonic teaming up for a game. Yet to this day, Naka still wants to see the two characters in an action title.
Here’s what Naka had to say about Mario and Sonic co-starring in titles based on the Olympics and the origins of it all:
