...Huh, never knew that detail. Was this the case in NA when vouchers were in their first run before disappearing? Could've sworn pre-orders of any kind were fair game.
Yeah, that's what I was implying.
He left Monolith Kyoto IIRC and it wasn't official if he had gone back to their Tokyo HQ or not. He was one of the OG founders so I would've hoped he wasn't going anywhere. Thankfully he seems to indeed still be there... doing WHAT is the great mystery!
Ahh, thank you for letting me know!
all I know without googling what it says on NOA's pages is that they always worked like this in EU. that's why I was hoping ACNH wouldn't get any delays when I used my first one for Mario Maker 2 in 2019 and that still had a rough early 2020 date.
the one about teh eshop? that was AWS, so this is different
It is also right before the 2004 copyright.
Nintendo wholly owned the copyright for Paper Mario up to the original release of TTYD. Then IS started being credited, mainly for the game code.
thanks so much for this!
Botw and Smash Ultimate also had CEDEC talks back in the day.
Superstars was a collab with Namco since it included baseball. Betting on a new Mario Tennis is the correct answer, but I believe they are doing something else before returning to the Sports mine. What that is, idk
Camelot needs a break from the sports games. One could argue the quality has been slipping with each new entry.
I think that was a slightly different conference, the Game Creator Conference, which had CEDEC presence but, I don't think they had the same permissions as the regular CEDEC. Went through Famitsu and 4gamer CEDEC archives and couldn't find any from that eventDon't suppose you can track down that Bezel Engine presentation from one CEDEC can you please? Great round up nonetheless, thanks!
iirc Emily Rogers said something a few years ago about there being a surprising amount of interest at Nintendo in doing something with Golden Sun, with the major hold-up essentially being that Camelot is too small and the Mario Sports games are too "the much safer money-makers" to justify having Camelot devote any serious resources towards the IP
Yeah, if it wasn't for the fact they just put the original games on NSO, I might have gone all in on saying "They're absolutely supervising Golden Sun 1+2 remakes." But with the GBA games chilling on the service now, the choices regarding the franchise now seem to be a remake of Dark Dawn or an entirely new fourth installment, the former being more likely than the latter. It would certainly be odd to skip the first two games to remake the third, but I can see the logic behind it if they go that route, since it would still be a (probably) low-budget project that could build off the fact the other games have been on NSO for several months.
For comparison, the indieszero staff that worked on Big Brain Academy, but not on Final Bar Line.
not really considering the switch entries were better than the wii u and 3ds ones
Only by a bit, but the games are still lacking compared to the GameCube/GBA games. I'm not a player of those games, but I have seen complaints of the Switch games not having enough content.
those are always the complaints at launch because they're always built around the on-going free post-launch update model. otherwise it's a lot of the TTYD-style complaining that the games aren't exactly like the GCN/GBA-era entries anymore (= RPG campaigns).
Rhythm heaven (copium)
The lore runs pretty deep. The president of ILCA (and former Namco planner) Takuya Iwasaki runs a lot of companies that share office space. He is the president of every company (except MONACA where he is a director).
I'd rather Camelot work on something else, as they just as easily add content to the games that are already on switch or NERD can port the GameCube games to Switch. I'd prefer more Golden Sun from Camelot as the Switch is the kind of device they wanted to make Golden Sun for.
I wouldn't give the website much mind considering that one of the Takahashi brothers - I believe it was Hiroyuki - stated on the website that Camelot's interest moving forward was in using their UX experience to invest more in the mobile sphere (alongside traditional console games) and investing more in younger talent. It's conceivable that a Golden Sun reboot/remake would be a good place for senior staff from Camelot's RPG days to train new staff in the company's ways (and draw in new fans after drumming up interest with the NSO releases), but that strikes me as a heavier investment that, even if it were happening, wouldn't come out for at least a few more years. This is a bit of a tangent, but they also removed one of the new staff members they posted talking about how Camelot was a great place to work, so who knows how well their new talent training is going.
folks really dont get that you dont necessarily need to own the company if you share a building with them lol
Nintendo Labo 2 confirmed???Seems like Next Level Games hired someone who specializes in VR/AR (and adjacent) development?
I mean, not everyone is limited to one box so to speak. Who says he's not doing non-VR/AR stuff now?Seems like Next Level Games hired someone who specializes in VR/AR (and adjacent) development?
