Nintendo celebrates its 125th birthday today
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 27 Comments
Nintendo is celebrating its 125th birthday today having been established way back on September 23, 1889 (just turned 12 AM in Japan a few minutes ago). Congrats to the Big N!
As many of you know, Nintendo wasn’t a video game company in its early years. Nintendo started out as a card company before getting involved with other ventures like taxis, love hotels, a TV network, food, toys, and more.

More Sakurai Smash Bros. tidbits – Smash Run enemies, human-sounding voices, difficulty with Melee data
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 115 Comments
Last week’s issue of Famitsu featured a new column from Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai. The piece addressed a few questions that fans may have about the new games.
On the topic of deciding enemies for Smash Run in the 3DS version of Smash Bros., Sakurai said that the following ideas were considered in the selection process:
– serves well as a general enemy
– light processing of movement on 3DS (comes down to the system’s hardware)
– it is possible to create uniqueness for that enemy
– maintaining balance between big or small, weak or strong enemies
– reduction of the relative workload that is required
– comes from a series that is possible to choose
[Interview] Curve Studios discusses Stealth Inc 2’s home on Wii U, potential future for Fluidity, and more
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, Features, Interviews, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments
Stealth Inc seemed like the furthest thing from a Wii U eShop release when it came out in 2013. The PlayStation versions came and went, and there was no word on a release for Nintendo’s console.
Still, when time for planning a sequel came around, something within Curve Studios clicked. This led to the company announcing Stealth Inc 2 as a Wii U exclusive – at least for the time being – back in May, which surprised quite a number of folks. For Wii U owners though, it’s great news.
We sat down via email (wait a second…) with Rob Clarke from Curve Studios to ask about Stealth Inc 2, working on Wii U, and the company’s other beloved gaming baby Fluidity. I think you’ll enjoy much of what they have to say:
