Developers on Nintendo DS
Some of the biggest names in Japan share their thoughts.
February 12, 2004 - The latest issue of Japan's weekly Famitsu is home to some developer comments regarding the new Nintendo DS portable hardware.The magazine asked the top development talent from some of Japan's biggest software firms to offer their thoughts on the system. The following are translations of the more interesting quotes.
Cozy Okuda (Executive Producer, Atlus): Okuda is responsible for the Shin Megamitensei series. He comments, "I have yet to see detailed specs, but I feel that with two screens and two CPUs it will be possible to create new game styles." Shifting gears a bit, he continues with, "At the same time, and this is just my personal feeling, I sympathize with the concept of taking an approach to game development that's different from current visual technology focused development. How [the DS] is turned into real games should be difficult, but this type of change of ideas is needed for the game industry."Shugo Takahashi (Vice President, Camelot): Shugo Takahashi, with his brother Hiroyuki, is responsible for Mario Golf, Mario Tennis and more. Shugo comments "With the ability to play games on two screens, we should be able to do things that were previously impossible. From the perspective of a gamer and the perspective of a developer, this is an exciting piece of hardware. When software that makes use of the system's features arrives I'm certain that I'll be pulled in to the max, so I'm very much excited about what kind of software will come out." He finishes up by commenting that he'll have to go to E3 to try out the new experience.
Hiroyuki Takahashi (President, Camelot): The other side of the Takahashi relationship comments on his love of Nintendo as a whole, stating "I've been a Nintendo fan for the longest time, the reason being that while they lead in hardware and software, they have a superb stance on user friendliness." Commenting on the DS, he states his belief that the hardware could open up new avenues in the industry and that he and his company would like to offer their help.
Shibusawa Kou (Game Creator, Koei): Kou is responsible for Nobunaga's Ambition and Sangokushi. He comments, "Even with just the specs that are known at this point, as a creator my desire to develop for it has been greatly stimulated." Commenting on his specialty, he says "I love history, and it seems that one screen could show the development of a full battle while another screen could show a more regional battle. If something like that could be done, it seems that we could make users better feel the fun of battle. Of course, as a single gamer I'm also just excited about the appearance of a new form of play."
Takanobu Terada (SR Development Chief, Banpresto): As his title may suggest, Terada is the man behind all those Super Robot Wars games that people keep on buying in Japan. He comments, "The revolution of having two screens seems like it will be a big hurdle for developers, but I believe there is the will to take the challenge. Our company has not yet set itself specifically on what it will be doing, but portables are a very important platform for the Super Robot Wars series, so in preparation for if the time should come we'd like to think about content now." Regarding the portable market as a whole, he says "We'd like to see not just the Nintendo DS, but the Sony PSP as well act to light up the portable game market."
Yuji Naka (President, Sonic Team): The man behind Sonic, Nights and more comments "I've been waiting for this! I greatly sympathize with the approach taken of offering a new game play experience. The ability to play link-up games with just one Game Boy Advance cartridge was like this, and we cannot overlook this new experiment." He continues, stating how his imagination is going wild, and how he can't wait for the hardware, finishing up with "It's from Nintendo, so it should be hardware that's fun even if you've only touched it. We'd definitely like to offer software for launch." We're not sure if our translation adequately conveys it, but Naka seems to be very excited about the hardware.
Toshihiro Nagoshi (President, Amusement Vision): Mr. Daytona and F-Zero AX/GC comments, "When I first saw it, I was like '?'. When I read the product summary, I was like '!'. And when I saw the specs, my impression was 'This is so Nintendo.' Commenting on the possibility of new games, he offers, "This should give birth to new ideas for using the two screens to their max and allow enjoyment of a new form of play. I'm personally most interested in this area."
Tetsuya Mizuguchi (Game Producer): The former Sega employee and former producer of games like Sega Rally, Space Channel 5 and Rez, offers up a bit of analysis on the hardware, stating "Having two separate screens is an idea that fits with the times. This is because game players' thinking is slowly heading in the direction of multitasking. More than just hardware evolution, this machine has the possibility of evolving human brain functionality, and this is why I'm paying attention to it."
Koichi Nakamura (President, Chun Soft): Chun Soft is a popular Japanese studio that makes the Mysterious Dungeon series and other Japan-only efforts. Nakamura comments, "With the previously unseen idea of having two screens, management of windows and other layering-style issues seem like they will be solved. Plus, we can create software that fits with the increasing speed of information management that users have." He finishes off with his belief that many ideas that go to the fundamentals of gaming will appear.
Also as part of a mini feature on the DS, the magazine asked game developers if they are excited about the hardware. Of the 30 responders, 93.3% said they are excited while 6.7% said they are not. Comments from the responders included "It seems that we'll be able to offer new forms of play by using the two screens and CPUs" and "We're anticipating a new market."Unfortunately, the issue doesn't contain actual details on what shape the DS system will take. That's going to have to wait a couple of months, it seems.

Interview: Hiroshi YamauchiIf DS is unsuccessful, Nintendo will be crushed, says former NCL president.
The Nihon Keizai Shimbun recently interviewed Nintendo advisor and former company president Hiroshi Yamauchi, who had many things to say about the future of the videogame industry and how Nintendo will succeed or fail. We've provided some highlights below:Yamauchi reiterated his longstanding belief that the videogame industry is moving in the wrong direction, but added that it's approaching a critical point. "I have been saying this for some time, but customers are not interested in grand games with higher-quality graphics and sound and epic stories," he said. "Cutting-edge technologies and multiple functions do not necessarily lead to more fun. The excessively hardware-oriented way of thinking is totally wrong, but manufacturers are just throwing money at developing higher-performance hardware."
Yamauchi told the paper that in a move to oppose the "bigger is better" mentality he thought up the idea of the Nintendo DS, a dual-screened portable device set to be shown at E3 2004 in May.The former NCL president dismissed the quick arrival of a next-generation console. "Nintendo has no plans to release a so-called 'next-generation' videogame console at the next year's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas. We will rather make a new proposal that uses the GameCube at its core," he said. "Only people who do not know the videogame business would advocate the release of next-generation machines when people are not interested in cutting-edge technologies." Yamauchi added that Nintendo's leadership shares his view of the business.
The executive said that Nintendo will "give [its] all" to promote the Nintendo DS. He conceded that the device may not immediately overwhelm audiences, but that he hopes it will help ring in a new era, which may revitalize the games industry. "If we are unsuccessful with the Nintendo DS, we may not go bankrupt, but we will be crushed. The next two years will be a really crucial time for Nintendo."

Kom op jongens, jullie weten toch wel dat er bij Nintendo 3D artists rondlopen die zich echt een hoedje zouden schamen als deze render publiekelijk te zien zou komen? Die hebben echt wel wat betere 3D concepten in elkaar geknutseld hoor!
misschien een eerste concept render, waar ze er een stuk of 20 van inelkaar hebben gedraaid en dan is dit misschien een van de mogelijke kandidaten, wie weet.quote:Op zaterdag 28 februari 2004 14:27 schreef twi het volgende:
