Miyamoto Talks Tradition: Mario Game In Works
by Chad Lakkis on July 25, 2008

In a recent interview with the UK based Telegraph, Miyamoto stated that there are teams working on new Mario, Zelda, and Pikmin projects.
“They are all working on more Mario, Zelda and Pikmin projects … And they all work in close proximity to me, so I can keep a good eye on them.”
Not exactly sure who “all” is, because surely the entire company is not working on a new Mario title — who would be left to fine tune Wii Music? Ok, ok, I will let it go.
Miyamoto adds that traditional games are his area of expertise and offers insight as to how the company rotates staff internally to ensure that the “traditional” titles always have people working on them.
“Making these ‘traditional’ games is what I am best at. Because games of that nature take upwards of two or three years to make, we always have to keep the teams working on those projects going. At any given time, the team could be five to ten people, or it could be 50-plus. People are always switching in and out of those teams.”
I can’t help but feel like this is all damage control 101, but even if it is, it shows that the company does care to some extent about its hardcore gamer base. It would seem that they realize their E3 presentation didn’t have the impact they had hoped for.
All we can ask now is that they learn from their mistake, and keep the traditional teams closer to 50-plus, with five people working on the next Wii Music.

Geeked-Out: Triforce, Metroid, & D-Pad Gaming Pendants For The Nerd In Us All
by Chad Lakkis on July 19, 2008

When it comes to bling bling, Hollywood has long relied on the services of big names such as Jacob the Jeweler. Soon, the gaming world may call on a jeweler of their own.
Third Project Juno has hand-crafted a slew of gaming related jewelry pretty enough to make Jay-Z holla-at-ya-gameboy! See what I did there?
While the Triforce pendant (14 karat yellow gold) is currently listed as one of a kind, TPJ states that anyone interested in having one made would be looking at around $2,000 in labor and materials. The Metriod pendant (sterling silver) is also one-of-a-kind.
If you like what you see (we did), start saving up your paperboy money and give this geeked-out jewler a reason to make more.
