Folks expect Goombas, but what would space Goombas be like? At the same time, that doesn't mean things are identical new elements and interpretations must be there to keep the sense of wonder alive. * Experienced gamers have certain expectations when it comes to new Mario games, and he doesn't want to disappoint them. Game Daily's interview, by Willis Lambert The suits/powers were designed for the game, and the musical references were done by the rest of the team. 3 references in Galaxy until after it was released and people started commenting on them. * Koizumi wasn't really aware of the Super Mario Bros. * Miyamoto tends to be ambiguous, and that means Koizumi became a sort of an "interpreter" for the rest of the development team. * Koizumi and Miyamoto both feel that there really shouldn't be a major divide between the "hard core" and the "casual", as long as a game is well designed. "Hard core" gamers appreciate the challenge from the limited hit points, while "casual gamers" aren't frustrated because they have plenty of chances to succeed. * The game balances the challenge level by limiting you to three hit points, but supplying plenty of extra lives. But the reviews in Japan have been really, really good this time around so Im very surprised and very happy about that" And just in general you never know how people are going to react.

Next Generation's Post Mortem, by Kris Graft * "I feel like you really can't have Galaxy without all of the things we learned from Sunshine." * Miyamoto's vagueness when it comes to suggestions for game changes, and how Koizumi finds himself entering into this state of vagueness with his own staff now. And games seemed like a really good opportunity to create a kind of drama that you dont find in films."

"(M)y ambition had always been to make drama. * Koizumi studied film and writing in school, and took a job at Nintendo after graduation. * His development of the plot scenario for Link's Awakening. * Koizumi mentions being the guy who "sneaks" story elements into Mario/Zelda games, due to Miyamoto and other development folks not being all that interested in the story and background plot for games.

Wired Game|Life Interview by Chris Kohler Here are some of Koizumi's recent interviews and some tidbits of information from each. Fortunately for us, that means lots of neat "behind the scenes" information on Galaxy and the other titles he's had his hands on. With the release of Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii, director Yoshiaki Koizumi is getting an awful lot of press time. Kaeru no Tameni Kanha Naru (the guy that turns into a frog - cameo in Link's Awakening) (I'm making no guarantees this list is currently complete, nor up to date however, it generally seems to be accurate.)Įternal Darkness (the ip belongs to Nintendo, I believe) Stuff in bold represent games that had trophies/music/items in Melee. how many do you think we'll eliminate by the time the game launches?
