Skyward Sword: The Director/Producer Postmortem
It seems fair to say that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a success for Nintendo, what with the largely positive reviews it’s been getting (including the requisite 40/40 from Famitsu ). Following up on last week’s interview with Shigeru Miyamoto , the Japanese magazine sat down with Skyward Sword producer Eiji Aonuma and director Hidemaro Fujibayashi to discuss the game in further detail — here are some of the highlights: – Plotwise, Skyward Sword is a prequel to Ocarina of Time , telling the story of the origin of the Master Sword.

The launch of Call of Duty Elite has not gone as smoothly as anyone hoped.

On the eve of The Legend of Zelda’s 25th anniversary, Nintendo development head Shigeru Miyamoto takes a look back at Skyward Sword — a game that took he and his team five years to complete — and admits that development wasn’t the smoothest of processes. “It’s occasionally the case during game development that the project doesn’t proceed along as planned or doesn’t turn out as fun as expected when you make it,” he told Famitsu magazine this week.

That’s not a terrible figure for a game released at a time where it had only five days to track in the month, but compared with today’s news of rival Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 selling 6.5 million units in the U.S.
