I am posting this Video, not because it cool looking, or because it a game that excites me. No, I am posting this as a community service to you. Just watch the video and you will see what I am talking about.
Miyamoto Checks out Assassin’s Creed ? Or Jade?
When I first saw this picture it was to good to pass up. First this picture shows how much E3 has changed this year. With simpler more “friendly” layouts, it made it easier for other developers to check out the Competitions work. Now look very closely at the girl up front, Jade from Ubisoft. She can’t take her eyes off Miyamoto. In Fact I think Jade is probably a good reason why Miyamoto is there in the first place. Heck it would be mine!
E3 2007: Nintendo New Games Interview
Nintendo opens up about a few key titles coming to the Wii as well as letting us know how it hopes to expand the gaming audience with its casual titles.
George Harrison On GBA Future
“This year in our marketing you really won’t see much push against Game Boy itself, so it will kind of seek its own level. It’s hard to say in the future if we will ever bring back the Game Boy trademark,” he told GameDaily BIZ in an E3 interview (full transcription coming soon). “It was a big risk for us to actually pass on it and call the new product the Nintendo DS, but it was part of Mr. Iwata’s philosophy that if we’re going to make a radical difference and try to reach a new audience, then we have to change the name… We had to make a break even though we had one of the greatest trademarks in the history of the industry.”
