Posted 6/29/11 1:00 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in 3DS / DS, News
In the last Iwata Asks, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata's developer interview series, we learned some fascinating stuff from the original team behind "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time." For one thing, did you know that "Zelda" creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, considered making it a primarily first-person experience? The latest Iwata Asks features Miyamoto himself, who gives some interesting insight into the game's development, including one aspect that would have changed the experience entirely.
Nintendo's Miyamoto: 'Not Our Goal' To Become The Number One Online Gaming Company
Posted 6/22/11 12:08 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in Interviews, Wii U
Nintendo's official premiere at the Wii U console was easily the most talked about event during this year's E3 conference. As it happened, the focus of the announcement was not on the console itself but on its controller, a wholly unique contraption with a built-in screen, capable of beaming full gameplay footage into the palm of your hand.
There was little doubt about Nintendo's level of innovation, but the presentation did leave a lot of questions regarding some of the areas in which the company has lagged behind competitors. Nintendo has been notoriously slow to provide gamers with a viable online gaming platform and that remains the case even after the launch of their latest device, the Nintendo 3DS. It begs the question, will the Wii U finally be different? I spoke with Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's head of game design and the creator of "Mario" and "Zelda," to get the answer.
The "Iwata Asks" interview series has Nintendo Global President Satoru Iwata discussing game development with some of the team members behind the company's biggest hits. This week's entry is particularly fascinating, as it brings together members from the original "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" development team to share some interesting tidbits about the game's creation. For example, did you know Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of "Zelda," wanted to make the N64 installment an FPS?

As is often the case with any online store, Nintendo has had varying levels of success with its download-focused e-nitiatives, WiiWare and DSiWare. Now that the 3DS is here and features more integrated web connectivity than any Nintendo release before it, an online shopping portal has been a foregone conclusion. The 3DS eShop is set to arrive via an update sometime next month, and top Nintendo creative Shigeru Miyamoto promises to deliver content for it that is designed to please gamers by making use of the 3DS' unique features.
Nintendo's Miyamoto On Wii 2: 'Be Patient'
Posted 4/22/11 5:00 pm ET by Adam Rosenberg in News, Tech, Wii
Whether you're calling it Project Café or Wii 2, the fact is (as we understand it) that Nintendo is preparing to launch a new console in the next year or so. Reports peg the announcement as coming at or before E3 in June, and hopefully the tidal wave of rumors will spur the company to do it sooner rather than later. Probably not though. Nintendo veteran Shigeru Miyamoto isn't willing to talk about it, as a recent interview with the "Zelda" and "Mario" creator made clear.
'Super Mario Bros. 2' Interview Reveals A Strange, Vertical-Only Prototype
Posted 4/4/11 5:49 pm ET by Adam Rosenberg in News
Most gamers are familiar with the saga of the North American release for "Super Mario Bros. 2." The game was originally released in Japan under the title "Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic" with a different cast of characters, a crew that was eventually re-skinned with Shigeru Miyamoto's beloved characters when it came out here in the United States. A new interview with Kensuke Tanabe offers further insight into the development of the original game, and the key piece of advice that came down from Miyamoto which ultimately led to the bizarre release that we know as "Super Mario Bros. 2."
Iwata Says 'Zelda 3DS' Is 'Crammed' With New Content
Posted 3/14/11 2:37 pm ET by Adam Rosenberg in 3DS / DS, News
There's no brand-new "Zelda" game coming to the Nintendo 3DS at launch, or even this year, but fans will still get to explore Hyrule in three dimensions with the revamped re-released of "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time." We already know that the 3DS cart will include the Master Quest version of the game to go along with the original, but now it seems that there may be even more new content than that.
