Iwata Apologises To Core Gamers For E3
Posted by Karn Bianco 3 hours, 25 minutes ago.
Following a mostly lackluster response to Nintendo's presence at this year's E3 Media and Business Summit – particularly the company's press conference – company president Satoru Iwata has issued a statement to 'core' gamers.
"If there is any perception that Nintendo is ignoring the core gamers, it's a misunderstanding and we really want to get rid of that misunderstanding by any means," Iwata said in a recent interview with Forbes.
"We are sorry about [the E3] media briefing, specifically for those who were expecting to see Nintendo show something about 'Super Mario' or 'Legend of Zelda.'
"However, the fact of the matter is the so-called 'big titles' need a long, long development period. ... We really didn't think this year's E3 media briefing was the time to do so."
In the absence of the aforementioned titles, Nintendo instead chose to focus on more 'casual' titles such as Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Wii and the long-awaited Wii Sports sequel, Wii Sports Resort.
Comments (0)Entertainment Software Association Confirms E3 for 2009
Posted by Brian Allen 1 day ago.
Though no details were given, an ESA rep has gone on record saying that the troubled Electronic Entertainment Expo will return. This year's event drew criticism not just from gamers but from industry big wigs. EA CEO John Riccitiello said his company might do its own show if E3 doesn't improve.
In 2006 the ESA decided the show had grown too big for its own good, so it went to an invite-only format. The 2007 show moved from the Los Angeles Convention Center to Santa Monica and most attendees were unhappy with that setup. The aftermath of that debacle brought it back to the L.A. Convention Center. But many attendees still thought it looked drab and desolate.
The show wasn't helped by the first ever E3 keynote by a politician, Texas Gov. Rick Perry. He spoke about the gaming biz to a nearly empty room. Combine that with lackluster press conferences from the three main console makers and almost nobody came away happy. GWN will keep following this ongoing news story.
New York Passes Game Labeling Law
Posted by Brian Allen 1 day ago.
New York Gov. David Paterson has signed a law that says video games must clearly label ratings for violent content. The New York Civil Liberties Union is already making challenges, noting that similar laws have been ruled unconstitutional in California, Illinois and numerous other states.
The new law also calls for video game consoles to include parental lockout controls by 2010 and creates an advisory council to study the connection between games and violence. In addition, that council is charged with evaluating the ratings issued by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board.
Paramount Announces Three New Games
Posted by Karn Bianco 1 day ago.
Paramount Digital Entertainment and Legacy Interactive today announced the development of videogames based on three of the former's films: Mean Girls, Pretty in Pink, and Clueless.
“Legacy Interactive’s vision for these fan favorite films is one that seamlessly takes each story into the gaming world,” said Ariella Lehrer, President and CEO of Legacy Interactive.
“Our goal in collaborating with Paramount Digital Entertainment is to create games that longtime fans of the films will appreciate, but also games that challenge and entertain the casual gamer.”
Clueless: The Game will challenge players to take on the role of Cher as she attempts to find the perfect boyfriends for her buddies. Mean Girls: High School Showdown, on the other hand, sees players attempt to end the reign of the “terrible 'Plastic clique'".
Pretty in Pink will mix things up with a “series of beautifully rendered scenes” in which players will be required to “solve a variety of fun and challenging visual puzzles.” Release dates for the three titles have yet to be confirmed at the time of writing.
