8.8 never forget
Isnt Metroid already kinda an open world exploration game lol
The game Human Head was working on was Batman Arkham Origins and it came out on WiiU
But yea I would love for them to do the next Metroid game using some upgraded assets from Prey 2
Honestly if Zelda and Mario are both there at launch I probably won't ever get around to playing Mario.

Director of Mario Galaxy 1, Majoras Mask, and Sunshine. Hes more of a producer now
Plus made Rosalina's story.
I remember people were talking about him like he was the next Miyamoto. He had something to do with Ocarina of Time right? And a bunch of other stuff.

One of my favorite employees at Nintendo.
I still feel that way to an extent about Prime, though lol. It's not the Metroid I want, at least. I don't dislike Prime, it's just not the series I personally want more of. I want more of the 2D side scrolling platforming series that I originally fell in love with =p
It's like with Zelda, I like the 3D games but they don't scratch the itch when I'm in the mood for a 2D Zelda affair.
Oh right yes. The best Zelda. He came up with the three day system right? Genius.

Nah, there's definitely gonna be some Monolith. She wouldn't do this much hyping over a Xeno X port. I do think we'll at least get a teaser of a new game.
No she prob was getting bombarded with tweets from people asking what game are they showing, doubt it means nothing is happening

It's so close. I can almost taste it.
Why can't Nintendo let him make games again?

Dance the jig, I think. Xenoblade X soundtrack is one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time. "I can't hear you. I can't see you." Woot!

It was tezuka that wanted the twin peaks aspect, tanabe also contributed to the script and created some of the quirky NPCs. But the "Romanticism" of the story, according to aonuma, was because of koizumi.

Ah, my mistake then! I'm going to have to hunt down that old interview and read it again.

Soraya Saga just tweeted this.
I don't even want to read the replies to this, too tempting for jokers to resist

For better or worse,that soundtrack fitted The world of X more than the classical RPG orchestra of before

The reason Aonuma initially became the Project Leader (Director) and now Group Manager / and Producer of Zelda Series is because he was the lead 3D dungeon designer. The very essence of 3D Zeldas dungeons was spearheaded by him. That's why Aonuma got Zelda.
Koizumi had experience being the lead designer of Super Mario 64, so Nintendo needed someone to handle 3D Mario series anyway.
He has a higher paying job and bigger management role. He basically manages a bunch of development teams (mainly in Tokyo) for Nintendo. There's obviously tiers involved, especially as the company grows older and bigger. You can't keep doing the same thing forever.
Not really. You can say that about many veteran Nintendo employees. But those are two of the more famous non-Miyamoto names.

And they did a good job choosing the best
I know it's better for him, but I'm selfish and I'm not convinced it's better for us.
Producer role can also be weird in Japan and Nintendo in general too. Koizumi could still provide some hands-on input and ideas to a game project despite his new role as well. We know for some like Miyamoto can be rather hands on himself, but it's unknown by how much for a majority of titles. Could wind up similarly with Koizumi.

Koichi Hayashida, new Manager and Producer of 3D Mario, is one of the most talented developers at Nintendo. He was basically the lead designer and coder under Koizumi for the Galaxy series. He also created and programmed NES remix mainly by himself as a side project. That's why Nintendo promoted him, and even gave him a GDC spotlight speech.
I love Koizumi though. His position as General Manager is key, because he has a huge sway in what first-party games get made, and how they get made.

I know, but miyamoto handing his two biggest franchises to these two is what makes me think this. I know there's hideki konno, katsuya eguchi and others that received a lot of input from miyamoto.
EDIT: Also, koizumi always had a hands on in mario games. He for example handled personally the rock power up in galaxy 2. Now hayashida seems to be the new main Mario guy.
About aonuma working on a non-zelda game, he talked about it at E3 and he seems interested in creating a new IP about a thief
Me too. Wasn't there an interview before about some in the company asking him to try a new IP? I hope he decides to make one!
EDIT: Koichi Hayashida is an excellent developer and his game design for Mario and how much he can do from level to level is spectacular.

Koizumi had to get replaced at some point. I love his work though on Mario.
