Updates from Hayashida’s Super Mario 3D Land GDC session

Update: Aaaaaand that’s it.

Super Mario 3D Land director Koichi Hayashida is speaking at GDC right now. I’ll keep this post updated with any quotes/tidbits/news throughout the event.

“We must strive to make others laugh with strange new ideas”

Mr. Hayashida is explaining all the trouble they went through to perfect the stereoscopic 3D in #SuperMario3D.

Mr. H is talking about how they used 3D illusions in #SuperMario3D

“It’s very important to let people play the game they want to.”

Satisfying both beginner and elite gamers is always challenging, which is why the first few worlds of #SuperMario3D were so easy!

“Enjoy everything!” – Mr. Hayashida
