Nintendo elaborates on Star Fox Zero’s motion controls, says “players will have some options”
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 121 Comments
This information comes from a Nintendo representative…
“Motion controls cannot be entirely disabled in Star Fox Zero, although players will have some options to choose how they are implemented. The game was designed to be played with motion controls, and it would be incredibly difficult to complete certain areas of the game without the independent aiming and flight that they offer.”

Miyamoto on Star Fox Zero’s delay and fan feedback; motion controls can’t be turned off
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 30 Comments
This information comes from Shigeru Miyamoto…
“The biggest reason [for the delay] is that we didn’t set out to create a Star Fox game to begin with. We started creating a bunch of different experiments that use the GamePad and the TV with two-screen gameplay. We started with those and introduced some of those different games.”
“What we found in making [levels] compact, the Star Fox fan really wanted something that felt more like a Star Fox game. They, in particular, were interested in having the map and those junction points and a game where your strategic approach through the map was really important to them. We spent a lot of time rearranging the content and building the levels in a way that took advantage of the map. We made a lot of smaller changes, as well. We changed some of the icons on the screen. We changed enemy placement and balance. We made changes for people who are maybe new to Star Fox to make the game play a little bit easier for them to understand with the heads-up display and things like that.”

Kamiya reflects on making Bayonetta and harsh directing style, Platinum on collaborations
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 10 Comments
With PlatinumGames celebrating its tenth anniversary, Japanese magazine Famitsu has a big feature about the studio in its latest issue, including an interview with several staff members. It focuses more on the developer as a whole rather than specific games. There are some interesting Nintendo-related bits from the discussion though.
Hideki Kamiya has only made two games in the last ten years at Platinum. Of course, those are Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101. Kamiya created the original Bayonetta with the following prerequisites: make an original game with hardware you’re touching for the first time with no library, no resources, and no game engine. He wanted to have it published in three years.
