On the site, Atlus included a picture of a giant tree and the title, “This is not broccoli #ATLUS.” The tree and font both seem like they could be connected to Etrian Odyssey. We should find out in a few days!

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments

Game Informer caught up with Splatoon producer Hisashi Nogami and co-director Tsubasa Sakaguchi at E3 2014. The two were asked about several topics, including what it’s like to get new IP started at Nintendo, and they also discussed why original characters were the only fit as opposed to established ones.

As usual, we’ve picked out some excerpts from the interview below. You can find the full interview on Game Informer.

Aonuma may have something to show about Zelda being more than a single-player experience next year

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 19 Comments

During a Nintendo Direct last year, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma spoke about changing the conventions of the series. One of these points concerned the tradition of playing by yourself.

Hyrule Warriors, while not an actual/traditional Zelda game, does offer a multiplayer component. This led Game Informer to ask Aonuma in a recent interview if the Wii U title is a step in this direction and if there will be multiplayer in the next true Zelda release.

Aonuma responded by stating that we “will see in the future, maybe next year.”

Aonuma’s comments in full:

Nintendo on how Splatoon came to be, couldn’t have been made without the GamePad

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment

In an interview with Eurogamer, Splatoon producer Hisashi Nogami opened up on the game’s origins. It started out as a prototype with an idea from programmer Shintaro Sato, who was attempting to create something new.

Nogami said:

“It’s something we do a lot of at EAD. We’re constantly making different prototypes with different game ideas to see what’s going to be good. One prototype that a programmer made was just this kind of idea of shooting ink on the ground, and doing a territory control game. We played it, thought it was really fun and maybe we can make a full game out of this.”

Nintendo teases Wii U/3DS communication plans, including unannounced projects – Mario and Donkey Kong

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 5 Comments

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS are the first two games to truly take advantage of communication features between both of Nintendo’s systems. You might be wondering why this functionality hasn’t been pursued sooner.

Shinya Takahashi, the GM of Nintendo Software Planning & Development, told IGN:

“With Smash Bros., because the two games have the same gameplay and the same controls, that game in particular is designed where you’ll want to start playing on the 3DS first and build up your characters there, and then transfer that character data over to the Wii U and play with them there.”

Shigeru Miyamoto also chimed in:
