Carmack Respectfully NOTHANKYOU.jpgs Wii Development
6:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Id Software’s John Carmack spends his free time playing Nintendo games with his son. They’re currently making their way through Super Paper Mario. And when not playing that, they have a go at Mario Kart DS. So does that mean Carmack is keen on, say, Wii development? According to Carmack: The Wii is one of those markets where Nintendo owns both the hardware and the software, but part of that is because they make such damn good products. So it’s the toughest platform for third party developers. We don’t have a software or content base ideally suited for it. So it doesn’t really play to our strengths and we’re pretty busy with other stuff right now. I’m thrilled that Nintendo has had this kind of success because they took some risky bets, and it’s always nice some bold thinking pay off for them. But I don’t think we’ll be on the platform. At least he’s honest! Carmack on Doom, Rage, EA and More [Tom's Games via Go Nintendo] More »Zero Punctuation, All Nintendo Love

Super Paper Mario, The Movie Idea
4:40AM Mark Wilson | The highly talented King of Kong director Seth Gordon wants to make the Super Paper Mario movie. I mean, no one’s asking him to make it, but he wants to make it. The guy is totally ready. Anytime. I’d love, really love, to adapt Super Paper Mario into a movie, a movie that would constantly switch from 2D to 3D. In five years, 3D cinema is going to be really big…(KoK) was screened for Nintendo, but I haven’t had the chance to speak to anyone over there about it. But I definitely want to have that conversation. Please, please please… make something inspired by the game into a movie. But don’t put Mario on the big screen again. Especially in the case of SPM, it’s just not meant to be and my heart can’t take it. Thoughts? Nintendo Wii Super Paper Mario: The Movie? [via gonintendo] More »
Paper Mario Europe Bugged
11:00PM Mike Fahey | Nintendo of Europe posted an item on their website today detailing a bug within the European release of Super Paper Mario. It’s a bug that occurs when playing the game in UK English, German, or Spanish. After meeting Mimi in Chapter 2-2, if you talk to her before picking up the key that opens the nearby trap, the game will freeze. It’s a tiny bug, and one that is easily circumvented by following the instructions NoE has included on their website. Despite that fact, the company still plans on offering a free replacement disc in the near future for anyone that would rather have a bug-free version of the game. Awfully nice of them if you ask me. I would have just sent a notice out via the website and possibly the Wii-mail system and been done with it. Keep an eye on Nintendo Europe’s site for replacement details.
