What’s going on with the Need for Speed series entry that’s being developed by Criterion? Well first off, we have no idea if they’re going to be involved with the Wii or DS versions. Let’s just pretend that they are for the time being!
With that said, EA’s John Schappert has said that the upcoming title will be an “action-based Need For Speed.” Yes, that’s really all he said. I guess that’s all we have to go on for now!

A portion of a CVG interview with EA’s Peter Moore…
CVG: What do you make of the PS3 Motion Conrol - or ‘Arc’. Isn’t it just another Wiimote?
PM: I’ve seen the technology working. I think it’s going to be a great complement to what’s out there. Sony will put their collective technology and marketing might behind it.
It’s a different experience than Wii and we’re watching it with great interest. As you might imagine, we’re working on stuff - in particular on what sports can bring to it.
One thing we’ve learnt with the Wii is that we can afford [to spend time on building bespoke games]. The two that stand out in terms of authentic sports motion on Wii are golf and tennis. If you can capture that motion, that brings the game to life in a very unique way. We’re looking at how we bring that sports credibility and authenticity to […]

Our friend N’Gai Croal is a relative newcomer to video games. He’s only been playing games for the better part of 10 years now, which means that he’s missed out on a ton of titles. It also helps him to give a different perspective on the games that come out today. Click over to see what titles made the biggest impact on Mr. Croal thus far.

NL: What’s next on the horizon for Firemint? Might we see Real Racing on DSiWare or even PSP Minis in the future?
AP: Anything is possible! We’re working on several brand-new games at the moment, but we haven’t announced any details just yet.

A portion of a Wall Street Journal interview with EA’s Jonathan Knight…
WSJ: You mentioned Shakespeare as one of your interests during your MFA. What do you think he would have been like as a game designer?
Knight: Shakespeare would have been on the forefront. He was an innovator and not just a great story-teller. Arguably, he’s more of a medium innovator. He borrowed heavily. “Hamlet” is a complete rip-off of a story on the prince of Denmark. Some people think he lifted it from a work that actually came between the two stories.
He was such a master at harnessing the new. For him, the new medium was open air theater on the south side of the Thames. He solidified a big portion of the English language with his plays much like Dante did with Italian vernacular.

A portion of a C3 interview with Manfred Linzner, co-founder of Shin’en…
C3: How successful was your first WiiWare game, Fun! Fun! Minigolf? Will there another FFM game, or even other sports titles, such as Fun! Fun! Tennis or Football?
Manfred Linzner, CEO of Shin’en Multimedia: FFM did really great on WiiWare. However, currently we don’t plans for another sports game as there are already many download and retail sports titles out there. Instead of a sequel, this year we will release some really fresh and original WiiWare titles.

C3: Will you continue making retail games on DS, or are download services the focus for Shin’en now?
ML: Currently we are focusing on WiiWare, but we haven’t quit making retail games just yet!
C3: Readers are always asking ‘Where is the next Nanostray?’ and ‘Whatever happened to Iridion?’ Are you able to provide them with the answers they are looking for?
ML: First of all […]
