Miyamoto on Splatoon’s visuals – needed to be “different from what other folks are doing”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 44 Comments
With Splatoon’s visual style, Nintendo wanted to do something “different” from the competition.
“Shooters have tended to become more realistic, but it’s not Nintendo’s way to do that,” legendary video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto told EDGE this month. “It’s [got] to be different from what other folks are doing.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Miyamoto touched on shooters in general. While Nintendo may not visit these types of games on a regular basis, Miyamoto said he likes their controls and he wouldn’t say that he’s not interested in the genre.

Source says Next Level Games’ Metroid prototype is real, was “pretty fun”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 16 Comments
Earlier today, concept art from a supposed Next Level Games-made Metroid prototype surfaced. We weren’t too sure if the images were real, but Destructoid has since verified their authenticity.
Destructoid also spoke “to a trusted source related to the project”. The site was told the following:
“Yes that is real. That’s the first I’d actually seen of that concept art, but a prototype was made before being shelved in favor of Luigi’s Mansion 2. It was about as bare-bones as it gets, but it was still pretty fun.”

Rumor: Next Level Games worked on a Metroid prototype before Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 15 Comments
Before Next Level Games started work on Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, the studio was working on “a completely different project for Nintendo”. This is known thanks to an Iwata Asks interview published last year. Perhaps the project in question was a new Metroid game.
Concept art was recently uncovered from the profile of a former Next Level Games employee, which includes shots of an apparent Metroid prototype. Since the staffer left Next Level in late 2009, it’s possible that this was the prototype the studio was working on prior to Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. Sadly, we may never know the full story!
