Siliconera recently caught up with a pair of developers behind Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water. The site spoke with Nintendo co-producer Toru Osawa as well as Makoto Shibata. A few interesting topics came up during the discussion. The two creators commented on the idea behind using the GamePad as the Camera Obscura and cut ideas, where Ayane’s inclusion came from, and the decision to make the first two chapters free in the west.

You can find these excerpts from the interview below. Read the full discussion over on Siliconera.

An art book based on Splatoon was recently made available in Japan. Through one of the images, we’re able to see what looks like urinal warp zones. It seems that, at one point, the developers thought about letting players transform into squids and use urinals/sinks to warp to different areas on the map.

Update: Entries are now closed! We’ll announce a winner this weekend, likely alongside our next Patreon update.

It’s been awhile since our last giveaway! I’ve sort of had my hands in about 100 different site-related things over the past few months, so they’ve been put on the back burner slightly. Finally though, we’re back with a giveaway pertaining to a game that just launched on the Wii U eShop: Octodad: Dadliest Catch.

In total, we’ve giving away six codes. We have three codes for North America, and another three for European Wii U owners.

The task is simple: tell us about your favorite unconventional game – given the kooky nature of Octodad – in the comments below. Also, please be sure to specify which region you’re entering for! We’ll let the giveaway run through Tuesday, and we’ll then announce the winners soon after, who will be chosen randomly.

Oh, another important thing. All of our $5+ Patreon members are automatically eligible for this giveaway. No comment is needed for them to enter.

I believe that’s all of the important stuff. Good luck, everyone!

Update (11/1): Bumping this to the top. Next weekend, we’ll be choosing our Super Mario Maker giveaway winner. It’s your last chance to enter!

Original (10/5): A few months ago, Nintendo Everything launched its Patreon page. And in August, we held our first giveaway on the site. Those who are pledging $5 or more are eligible for our Partreon giveaways.

We gave away a gold Mario amiibo in August. September’s giveaway was Kid Icarus: Uprising, and I’d like to announce that Glenn Davis is the winner of the game – congratulations! We’ll be in touch shortly to send your reward.

I’d also like to take a moment to announce our prize for October: Super Mario Maker. Just like all of our contests on Patreon, everyone is eligible regardless of their region. So long as you’re pledging $5 by the end of the month, you’ll be automatically entered.

We have a bunch of rewards on our Patreon page ranging from entry into our special Hall of Fame to sneak peeks at upcoming content. If you’re not interested in pledging, that’s totally okay. One thing that would help us immensely though is to ensure that adblock is disabled on Nintendo Everything. We’re not in the best financial situation at the moment!

Last month’s interview of Nintendo Dream contains an extensive Super Mario Maker developer interview. Producer Takashi Tezuka, director Yosuke Oshino, and senior director Yoshikazu Yamashita participated in the discussion.

Several interesting topics came up during the interview, and we’re excited to share a few excerpts with you all. The three team members spoke about how the idea for costumes came together, the different cursors (including some abandoned, an yet strange ideas), and a message for fans regarding the series’ future.

Head past the break for our complete translation.

Splatoon’s latest Splatfest was held in North America and Japan this weekend. Both competitions are now over, and the results are in.

In North America, the battle was pirates against ninjas. The former team ended up victorious thanks to a larger percentage of wins. Ultimately, despite a much higher popularity edge for ninjas, pirates prevailed with a total of 382 points.

Love and money was the topic for Japan. Popularity and wins were close for both sides, but love prevailed with 353 points.
