Miyamoto on getting involved with the Pikmin shorts and more
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Shigeru Miyamoto attended the Tokyo International Film Festival this past weekend to debut his new Pikmin shorts. At the event, Reuters caught up with Miyamoto to discuss a number of topics.
Here’s a quick overview as to what was shared:
– Miyamoto had balked for years at requests to make films with Nintendo characters
– He warmed to the possibilities of filmmaking given technological advances
Miyamoto noting that he has no plans to shift from games to the movie business….
“I haven’t moved over. But as computer graphics have gotten better, I started to feel that it’s something that I could get involved with. Making films in the past was something that was made with a completely different skill set but now I feel that it’s rather similar.”

A little bit of alternate costume trivia today this time dealing with Shulk’s colours:
[Weekly Screenshot] Paper Monsters Recut #4
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Screenshots, Weekly Screenshot, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
This week’s Paper Monsters Recut screenshot introduces us to an environment found in one of the game’s later areas. We also learn a need tidbit about the game straight from Mobot Studios. View the official screenshot description below:
This is towards the end of Paper Monsters Recut at the outskirts of Lord Papyrus’ castle, which is also where you’ll encounter some of the more challenging levels in the game with multiple lava pits, fire balls, and tons of classic platforming goodness. Fun fact: in the original game this background was only used in one of the cut scenes, but we liked the look of it so much that we brought it back to use the overworld and a playable level.
