Japanese gaming magazine Gemaga interviewed some of the industry’s biggest developers recently regarding all kinds of subjects.

Capcom’s Keiji Inafune, for example, remarked that he would never make a casual game like Brain Age. He also says he was correct in predicting that the Wii would come out on top this console generation, but wasn’t (at the time) convinced of the selling power of the DS. Namco’s Akira Yoshizumi mentioned that the battle system innovations in the upcomimg Wii Tales of game will “greatly impress people.” Level 5’s Akihiro Hino states that Dragon Quest IX is in the final stages, and the multiplayer mode will be different from every other online RPG to date. He also says that The Another World, a DS RPG collaboration between Level 5 and anime studio Studio Ghibli is still planned for 2009. Yoshiki Sugiyama of KOEI stated that he was impressed with Super Smash Bros. Brawl and he hopes that Wii owners will like Samurai Warriors 3. Finally, Super Robot Wars producer Terada hints that his team may “reposition development” in the second half of 2009.

Try not to die of an information overload, ok?

Do you smell what the puffball is cooking?

This is the kind of thing I want sitting on my desk. Not only is it quality papercraft of Kirby’s Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but it’s also got that cute factor that catches the eyes of pretty much anyone walking by. Professional, right? I wonder what bosses would think. “Ah, you’re a gamer. Good! You like to be challenged, then. Crafty, too, I see.”

Have you been saving up those red and blue 3D glasses for a good time? If so, bust them out; we have some Super Smash Bros. Brawl 3D images courtesy of the folks over at Wiiseguys. Now excuse me while I cope with the psychological trauma caused by Wario’s large gaping mouth coming at me from my monitor.

Smash Bros. hits the shelves running in Europe

Published by Pete
Tags: Europe, Super Smash Bros. Brawl

While the Brawl hype may be a thing of the past to most in Japan and North America, it looks like that hasn’t stopped the game in Europe. PAL players finally have access to the title, and an estimated 400,000 units have already been picked up since launch.

To top it off, sales of the Wii itself have gone up 35% with the launch of the game. More evidence that the Wii stock problem is isolated in North America. If hardware sales increased 35%, there must be additional Wii units to purchase. I’m not jealous. Really.
