European Trademark For Fantasy Life Surfaces, Could North America See It Too?
Level-5 Studio and Brownie Brown (Now known as 1-UP Studios) released Fantasy Life in 2012. Its popularity was immortalized when high sales made the game virtually impossible to find. Released near the end of 2012, it has gone on to sell almost 250,000 in sales. Did I mention this is a new IP? Due to the fantastic sales, 1-UP Studios and Level-5 filed a European Trademark on March 12th. Obviou...
Miyamoto Interviewed By Polygon
Today Polygon’s interview with the great Shirgeru Miyamoto went up. Although obviously on a tight PR leash, the interview makes an interesting watch or read nonetheless. Miyamoto goes over what he wants to be achieved by the imminent Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, and why Nintendo have decided 2013 should be the ‘Year of Luigi’. Amongst the other topics discussed are Nintendo&...
Shigeru Miyamoto is working on 3D Pikmin animation
Shigeru Miyamoto has announced he is working on a series of animated 3D shorts based on the GameCube debuting series; Pikmin.

In an interview about the new project, Miyamoto said “When Olima...
Meat Boy A Possibility In Next Super Smash Bros?
Details for the next Super Smash Bros. title for the Wii U and 3DS are few and far between.

Would You Play Your 3DS Games On Your Wii U?
What if you could play your 3DS games on your Wii U? Would it appeal to you? David Delisle knew the possibility was out there. The Game Pad would act as the bottom touch screen, and the TV would act as the top screen. So, he developed a device that he calls the EDS.

The state of Nintendo, and how the company will fare in 2013
Nintendo didn’t exactly have a banner year in 2012. After what I consider to be a very successful 2011 what with the launch of a new console and the release of a fantastic Zelda title, 2012 just didn’t live up to expectations, even with the launch of a new console in the Wii U. With that said, the Wii U and 3DS seem to be really hitting their stride, and it seems as if this year could ...

Previously, to receive a Nintendo development kit a studio would need to prove it had an actual office space. In the past this was because any ‘quality’, mildly profe...
