Watch Nintendo execs vie for the love of Princess Zelda in its latest game
Nintendo's had some success with approximating the mundanity of real life in the past, but its latest attempt looks like it'll amp up the crazy rather dramatically. In Tomodachi Life you import a collection of Miis (Nintendo's avatar system) and watch as they interact with each other on an island. We know what you're thinking, but trust us, it's the opposite of boring. For example, one scene from its recent unveiling involves Nintendo's senior product marketing manager Bill Trinen professing his love for Samus Aran on a beach when a shirtless, musclebound president Reggie Fils-Aime runs down the shore to do the same. And then, CEO Satoru Iwata emerges from the water and joins in on the action. Yes, really.
Heard@GDC: NoA's Bill Trinen loves cute puppies
While accepting the award for "Best Technology" at Wednesday's Game Developers Choice Awards on behalf of the Nintendogs team, Nintendo of America's Bill Trinen (shown here during Satoru Iwata's keynote the following day) had only this to say: "I think it's great there's a place where people can still make a game about petting really cute puppies."Awwwwww. He's right though, those puppies are really cute. 'Nuff said.
