What role does realism play in videogames I ask myself. Is this image more interesting? Sometimes.. however, what if a "detailed" hand with 5 fingers is catching a bottle but the fingers pass right through it? Is this still realistic? Rather than to show each meticulous and tiny detail of a finger, it is more important to make the end action look more credible by working on the movement and functionality of the arms and the hand in relation to the object. -- Shigeru Miyamoto


The Examiner/MMN Revue for Saturday, August 14th

Taking a little time from working on RipTen regular to work on a feature… the past two days have been lacking in that department. Here’s the rest of what I’ve been working on:

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Decorate your Xbox LIVE Avatar with Scott Pilgrim – Shirts, outfits, gear, and a possible impending lawsuit from Nintendo await within.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Super Mario Bros. movie gets DVD re-release – Thanks to , I have no need for this. But if anyone else ever wanted to own a copy of what essentially is to Super Mario Bros. what “SatAM” is to Sonic the Hedgehog (only far less revered), now you have the chance.

Don’t expect much conversation from Link in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword – People may soon learn more than they ever wanted to know about Samus, but don’t worry; Link is going to keep the meaning of “hyah!” and “gyaiiii!!!” to himself.

Super Mario Bros. 3 and the wide world of Nintendo’s e-Reader – Seriously, it may not be a crime for Nintendo to withhold all of the great e-Reader stuff from us, but it should be. Admittedly, they did try to give it to us, and we pretty much rejected it… but come on. The requirements were a bit much. Couldn’t they have at least put a cartridge slot on that thing?

Hopefully they won’t let the investment in developing it go to waste, and release it as a WiiWare or DSiWare title of sorts. Or they can follow Capcom’s example with Mega Man Zero Collection, and release the entire thing on the DS, e-Reader stuff included.

From The Mega Man Network:

Amazing Robot Master Collage is Amazing – Gobs of Robot Master goodness, and all in the Powered Up style, too!
