From a email interview with Wired Online Magazine, Katsuya Eguchi shares with us some lost info about the recently released / popular Wii Sports resort.
“We considered fishing and a water slide activity before deciding on the final twelve events,” Eguchi said. We’re having a hard time imagining a controllable, skill-based water slide game, which may have been one reason it didn’t end up in Resort. “As for more unconventional concepts, we created a pretty fun prototype of kendama, a traditional Japanese toy, that just didn’t fit the game’s theme.”
More info if it comes, for now we thank Wired for providing this information!
Come ormai da alcuni anni, il 3 e 4 ottobre 2009 a Monza si terrà il Video Games History, esposizione videoludica organizzata dai ragazzi di Games Collection. Fra retrogames, tornei multiplayer per le ultime console, pubblicità d’epoca (ocio però!), incontri fra nerd e discussioni filosofiche, un’area-museo dedicata a tutti gli amanti di unseen games: alcuni prototipi e beta provenienti dalle raccolte private dei maggiori collezionisti italiani.
L’anno scorso abbiamo partecipato all’evento e Nicola ha sopportato per un oretta questi maniaci di unseen games, mostrandoci alcuni dei prototipi che aveva portato per l’occasione. Abbiamo potuto giocare ad Iron Hammer (titolo mai uscito per il “visore virtuale” del Mega Drive), una versione medica di Dyno Blaze (ahah WTF?), ammirare console mai rilasciate come il Panasonic M2, segarci guardando le cartucce demo per N64 e piangere sulla beta di Beirut Breakout (versione preliminare di Desert Strike) che non partiva.
Parte dello staff di U64 sarà presente anche quest’anno all’evento, per un piccolo meeting dei collaboratori e degli utenti italiani di Unseen 64. Per conoscerci, giocare qualche beta e fare i nerd senza limite.
Per accordi sul meeting di U64, potete lasciare un messaggio di commento a questo post oppure mandarci una email a [email protected]
Per maggiori informazioni sull’evento date un’occhiata alla pagina dedicata su Games Collection. Il VGH 2K9 si svolgerà presso l’URBAN CENTER di MONZA Via Filippo Turati 8 (a due passi dalla stazione dei treni) nei giorni di sabato 3 ottobre (dalle ore 10.00 alle 20.00) e domenica 4 ottobre (dalle ore 10.00 alle 18.00). Ecco il luogo su Google Maps.
Sorry for the delay, the site had some problems in the last week, because of too many visitors. Our old, cheap server was not enough, so we had to find a better (but more expensive) one. Now the site should be back in full, it could be a bit slow at the moment, but we hope that this time the U64 Archive can be able to keep up with the increasing traffic. Let us know if you find some bugs or problems!
All the articles scheduled for the last week were posted while the site was offline, so you can check all the unseen games that you missed in these few days :) Thanks for your support as always!
The U64 family is still growing somehow and more beta-lovers would like to help our little archive of games that we’ll never be able to play. Today we are happy to welcome Earthwormjim in the U64 Staff!
