Sakurai's at it again! - Koopaul - 02-18-2009
Nintendo recently got Sakurai to work on a new project for them.
No, it's not Smash Bros. but you'll be happy to know it's going to be for the hardcore.
"We want to make something that will be wanted even by the more hardcore game players, and something that offers new ideas."
As you know Sakurai left Nintendo for his own company Sora. Well Nintendo's got him back yet again for something new, and something brilliant.
Here's the whole scoop!

reggie said the same thing about animal crossing at E3 2008
wasn't E3 a giant letdown, koopaul?
sakurai's no kojima.

I don't think Reggie is the same person as Sakurai.

I lol'd.
Kojima openly admits to just stealing ideas from Hollywood films, and anything else he likes the look of.

No.
Fuck you, Sakurai.
You trolled me too many times with Brawl.
Stop saying shit like "wanted even by the more hardcore game players and then adding "that offers new ideas."
Fuck you, man. I'm not falling for it this time.
Douche.

He says it will be wanted even by the hardcore gamers. In that context, it sounds like he's saying it's something that everyone will want, including the hardcore gamers. So I think it'll be something anyone can pick up and play casually, but it will attempt to satisfy the needs of hardcore gamers. Like a franchise getting another game. My guess is either Kirby or Zelda for the Wii.

This is great. I thought I lost all hope in Nintendo. Now that I know its a game a HARDCORE Nintendo fan will like, there's hope buuuuut I'm not completely sure.
RE: Sakurai's at it again! - GrooveMan.exe - 02-19-2009
All the 'HURR I'M SO HARDCORE GAMER' people will over-hype this, pretending it'll be that imaginary 'perfect game' that only existed when they were too young to know any better (then proceed to scream and moan when it's not); and everyone else will just enjoy a fun game from Sakurai.
I'm calling it.
RE: Sakurai's at it again! - Tero - 02-19-2009
Super Nintendo Air Ride.
I called it first.
RE: Sakurai's at it again! - Koopaul - 02-19-2009
I don't understand you guys... Just shallow? I used to think the casual people were annoying, now I'm starting to feel the same about "hardcore" gamers.
I like the games Sakurai made, and if they're not "hardcore" enough for you then that's too bad, because your missing out.
RE: Sakurai's at it again! - GrooveMan.exe - 02-19-2009
Protip Koopaul: It's the 'hardcore' that are killing gaming; continually dissatisfied with the games that are produced; going so far as to pirate games they play, not wanting to 'support companies that produce bad games'.
'Casual' games are made because those games are actually bought by people. That's been true since the last generation.
RE: Sakurai's at it again! - Koopaul - 02-19-2009
Hm-hm. That makes sense.
Well, I'm looking forward to this game. He never disappointed me.
RE: Sakurai's at it again! - Ngamer01 - 02-19-2009
Don't forget this new game is not a sequel. Sakurai originally left Nintendo because he got sick of always making sequels (namely for Kirby and Smash). So don't expect Sakurai to do a standard Nintendo franchise game. This game will be a new IP that Iwata said that Nintendo couldn't do by themselves.
Again this is not a new entry to existing Nintendo franchises. This is a completely new, never before seen entry that could give rise to a new franchise if successful.
RE: Sakurai's at it again! - Koopaul - 02-19-2009
All the more to be excited about! It's a whole new IP.

nintendo doesnt make hardcore games
