[Developer Musings] Oozing Integrity; three game developers reminisce on the man that gave indies a spot with Nintendo
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Developer Musings, General Nintendo | 2 Comments
It’s been quite some time since Dan Adelman left Nintendo for greener pastures in the independent space (he “helps indies with the business stuff” now, according to his Twitter bio), but it does appear that he left something of a legacy behind with him through the games he helped release on WiiWare and the Nintendo eShops. World of Goo — perhaps the single most notable WiiWare game ever released — was released digitally almost entirely because of his appeals, and the recent release Shovel Knight came out as a Nintendo-focused game initially due to his support.
As sort of a tribute to these developers, this nice man, and the games that they, together, helped give us, we asked a few folks that Dan worked with over the years to talk about what he did and how he helped them get their games out. If you’ve ever wanted to know some of what goes on behind-the-scenes between platform holders and developers, there’s quite a bit worth reading down below.
(Unsure as to what Developer Musings is about? Check out our first entry here for an explanation.)
[Weekly Screenshot] Paper Monsters Recut #3 – Rickety Old Minecarts
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Screenshots, Weekly Screenshot, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Hey… wait a second… Isn’t Paper Monsters Recut out on the Wii U eShop this week? Why are we still sitting around here talking about screenshots when we could all just go buy the game for the low low price of $7.99!? Lord knows I can’t explain it. But either way, we have another screenshot from the game for you showcasing some of the darker underground levels of the game. Check out what Mobot Studios has to say about it below:
In Paper Monsters Recut, you’ll spend time fighting your way through a number of bright outdoor levels in Paperland, but we’ve also tried to more variety for Wii U as well, and this darker atmospheric mine level is a good example. You’ll encounter some different bad guys when you venture underground, and change up the gameplay with a fun ride on this rickety old minecart. We hope you’ll enjoy it!

Sakurai on why Smash Bros. 3DS came out before the Wii U version, changes in Final Smashes, stage tidbit
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 16 Comments
Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai published a new column in this week’s issue of Famitsu. That was a bit of a surprise, as Sakurai only tends to write columns on a bi-weekly basis.
In any case, numerous topics about Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS were once again discussed. Sakurai commented on why the 3DS version launched before the Wii U game as well as changes in Final Smashes. He also shared a tidbit about one of the unlockable stages in the 3DS version.
Head past the break for the full Q&A.
Level-5 CEO wants the company to become like Disney
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has some pretty ambitious plans for the company.
In a recent interview, Hino stated that he hopes to transform Level-5 into something like Disney. The company would focus on worldwide entertainment as opposed to just games.
Hino mentioned that he hopes to accomplish this within five years.
