Thanks to the latest Nintendo Power, we have some interesting tidbits from Nintendo developer Yoshio Sakamoto talking Metroid.
- “It’s certainly possible that in the future we’ll go back to another 2-D Metroid using some of the ideas that have been generated on this Other M project. So please don’t get the idea that this is the end of 2-D Metroid games.”
- “There were certainly some members on staff who weren’t entirely comfortable with committing us to a single control scheme, so they would ask questions like, “Couldn’t we just make it possible to connect the Nunchuk and have an alternate control scheme in the game?” But I felt like that was essentially the wrong way to think about it. Like if you have to tack on other options like that, then you really are admitting defeat as a game designer. …I felt like I really needed to prove something about why this was correct for the Samus universe in the first place.”

After a severe lack of news for ‘Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers‘ since being announced three years ago, Nintendo Power have recently had time with the latest build. The game has gone through some major changes with a new emphasis on the single player campaign, a new hero as well as a “stylish” motion controls and even a new logo!
But is it any good I hear you cry? Well, yes, according to Nintendo Power:
Ubisoft have now officially announced Red Steel 2 following yesterdays Nintendo Power cover story. The sequel now boasts cel-shaded graphics and has been built from the ground up giving it a new feel altogether from the original. In addition the game runs at 60hz and will only work with Wii MotionPlus.
Also:
- Red Steel 2 is set in the Tokyo-style city of Caldera;
- You will be able to wield both a gun and sword at the same time;
- No multiplayer.
You can find the official website here but don’t expect to see much there at the moment. RS2 is due for release at the end of 2009.
Red Steel from Ubisoft was one of the Wii’s better launch window games, even with some control issues. Little is known about the sequel but we do no it will not include multiplayer. Why not? I hear you cry! Read on to find out. Read more…
