TalkBack / Miyamoto Talks 3DS & GBA Versions of Pikmin, Making Pikmin 3 Replayable

Pikmin 3 is meant to make players want to play again.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/34604

A 3DS and GBA Pikmin game were both made and scrapped according to an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto.

Miyamoto says it wasn't until the Wii U version that he felt better about the projects, stating that the GBA and 3DS projects "were versions that I wasn't really happy with until we came to this version on the Wii U and I finally felt like I was able to create the Pikmin game that I wanted to create."

Miyamoto also revealed his desire to make Pikmin 3 a more replayable game, feeling that no one went back to the original Pikmin after playing. Though Pikmin 2 was made easier in his opinion, his goal is to broaden the appeal of the gameplay." Whether you are going for high scores, experiencing a story, or playing multiplayer," he says, "regardless of what your personal play style preferences, you'll be able to find something in there for you."

TalkBack / Princess Peach Was Not Originally In Super Mario 3D World

Peach gets no respect I tell ya, until now.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/34595

Koichi Hayashida, the director of Super Mario 3D World, revealed to Polygon that Princess Peach was not originally planned to be a part of the game.

Hayashida acknowledged the fact that Peach has not been playable in main line Mario games since the American version of Super Mario Bros. 2, but that Producer Yoshiaki Koizumi suggested she be included this time around. Hayashida confessed that he thought it would be nice to play as a female in a Mario game after all these years of representing male characters.

For his part, Koizumi wanted Princess Peach back because "she adds a lot to the sense of competition when you get in multiplayer" when players choose different characters to play based on their preferences and playstyles. Koizumi also added that he felt Peach is "really fun to play as."

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/34568

TalkBack / The Wind Waker HD Has Off-TV Play, Quick Load Times Allow For a Faster Ship 

« on: June 11, 2013, 04:25:32 PM »

Play The Wind Waker while your family watches something on TV.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/34564

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD allows for Off-TV Play, leaving the TV free to be used otherwise while playing the game on the Wii U GamePad. This is only one of the many additions to the Wii U remake of The Wind Waker made in order to better player's experiences.

Apparently, many people complained of the long amounts of time spent sailing the seas on The King of Red Lions, Link's ship, so a new item has been added that can be used to sail faster. The ship was originally slow in the GameCube release in order to allow environments to load, but this time around it is not needed due to load time improvements through the increased power of the Wii U. The flow of the hunt for the Triforce is also being improved but details about how exactly that was being done were not provided.

In order to give the game a sense of realism and warmth, bloom effects are being added to the game's visuals. The actual Wind Waker, Link's baton used for different powers, is now controlled with the touch screen of the GamePad. The gyroscopic controls of the GamePad are also used as a means to control a camera, allowing players to take in-game pictures.

TalkBack / Mario Kart 8 Runs at 60 FPS, Considered the "Definitive Mario Kart"

« on: June 11, 2013, 03:56:33 PM »

Mario Kart 8 did not receive the name just for its number in the series.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/34559

In a Nintendo Developer Direct, Mario Kart 8 was called the "definitive Mario Kart." Many other details were revealed.

Like Mario Kart 7, 8 will run at 60 FPS (frames-per-second) and will feature extensive online multiplayer. This time, Miiverse is utilized to create tournaments where you can set specific rules and play with friends. Miiverse is also used to share replay data.

Mario Kart TV is a new addition that allows you to watch 30 second replays of races, both yours and other players, which are recorded automatically while playing. This entry can be controlled with the GamePad, Wii Remote and Nunchuk, or just a Wii Remote, which can have a Wii Wheel peripheral attached to it while playing.

Mario Kart 8 is named not just because of it being the 8 entry in the series, but for one of its tracks which resembles a möbius strip. A möbius strip is a surface with only one side, which traditionally comes to resemble a figure 8.

Zack tells you to calm down and be realistic. 

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/blog/34452

E3 comes but once a year; it can be the most magical time to be a gamer, but it can also blow Donkey Kong chunks (I don’t know what that means, I just like saying it). Last year I learned a valuable lesson in hype when I looked forward to the surprises I have come to expect at Nintendo press conferences and got Nintendo Land. Sure it ended up being a fantabulous game, but not much of a surprise compared to previous year’s surprises like then titled Luigi’s Mansion 2 and Kid Icarus: Uprising.

So, E3 can sometimes be a big letdown. The key is to set expectations low…really low. For example, what I want Nintendo to show during their Nintendo Direct is many previously unannounced 3rd party games for Wii U. What I am going to expect is more footage of Rayman Legends.

See how easy that was? I was able to be realistic so I don’t have to cry myself to sleep. I have come to realize how dangerous hype can be. For example, everyone (read some people) were really excited for the Xbox One reveal, but many were left disappointed. I would argue that it was because of it being hyped too much. Sure there weren’t many games shown, but should people really have expected Microsoft to focus on games with their current press conference track record?

Going back to Nintendo, what can we really expect from them this year? I believe we will see many previously announced games like Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart, along with a focus on the few big (Ubisoft) 3rd party games coming to the Wii U, like Watch Dogs. When it comes to 3DS, don’t expect any big surprises. Maybe we will find out when Miiverse is coming to the system, or they will actually announce a solid date for when Hulu Plus is heading to the system, which is something that was supposed to happen a long time ago.

E3 in the past few years has focused on big spectacular press conferences to get people excited. Companies like Nintendo are realizing as fun as they might be, it is not very cost effective. E3 is big for game journalists, but in no way is it made for anyone who reads or works on Nintendo World Report or any other gaming site. E3 is a Trade Fair. Its secondary function is to be a media event, and the most important media to game companies are not gaming sites, but places like USA Today. Expect Nintendo to focus on Mario games. They sell very well which pleases retailers and the earlier buzz starts for the game the better.

After reading this you probably think I am a somewhat negative person, it’s not called being a cynic, it is being realistic. So heed my warning, or be prepared to go “FUUUUU-“ after the “big” E3 Nintendo Direct.

Did you like reading this? It is a part of my semi-not regular blog series Just Being Mii, where I open my mouth hole, then close it since I actually write it. Leave a comment if you liked it, and if you didn’t that’s fine *walks with head down to Charlie Brown music*.

We drew the complete game world twice for TV and GamePad. We had tons of overlays, special effects and even camera streaming and still had no GPU or CPU problems."

Retro Studios could be working on an all new game, according to one staffer at IGN.

In a video playthrough of Super Metroid on IGN, one of the commentators commented on Retro's new game, saying that he has heard rumors of it being an all new IP. Though not a rumor posted on the site, IGN has been right in the past.

In the past, rumors have supported the idea of a new Metroid or Star Fox game from Retro Studios, but this leads us to believe that there may be a chance of an all new game. Retro Studios has developed many games including Donkey Kong Country Returns, the Metroid Prime games and helping on Mario Kart 7.
