Interview:Nintendo Power August 2011 (Skyward Sword): Difference between revisions

{{Interview/A|Eiji Aonuma|Skyward Sword, in that year since you last played it, has really come along nicely.  We're at that point where we're applying polish and really trying to bring along the Japanese version, so it's in its final stages.  Over the last two months or so, [Zelda series Creator] [[Shigeru Miyamoto|Mr. Miyamoto]] has been working with me and my group to help put the finishing touches on the game.  We want to continue working on it, and refine and polish it even further, so…I intend to be fully involved in that work for awhile.  And also, localization is obviously going to be underway soon.<br><br>Additionally, in regards to your question of what's changed and what sort of things happened in the past year, I think we have succeeded in making a game that uses the Wii MotionPlus to provide some incredibly satisfying sword combat.  I feel that was a great success, but once we achieved that, it became a matter of saying, "How many other ways can we enrich gameplay?  How can we continue to flesh out gameplay experience?"  So a lot of our work has also focused on increasing the variety and richness of the gameplay, especially in this past year.}}

{{Interview/A|EA|It's been 13 years since Ocarina of Time was originally released, and one of the big things that we made this remake possible was that there was an outpour of emotions from people who said they would like to see this game done. We said we could do it in 3D, so we did. I think certainly if there was a similar output of emotion and clamor from fans for a remake of Majora's Mask, it wouldn't be an utter impossibility.<br><br>Thinking on it now, having a handheld Majora's Mask where you could kind of just set things down on your own time - close it, set it aside and come back to it later - might be a game play element some fans will actually take to and might really appreciate. Especially considering how you really had to rush through the original game, in a sense.}}
