Quotes[]
- “One thing that we learned by playing Mario Kart is how every single Mario character is an entrepreneur, building businesses and stuff. Wario’s Gold Mine is exactly that. I mean, take a good look at this scenery. Wario built all of this with his bare hands. Now this is epic.”[5]
- “One of the best features of the Wii U was Miiverse. A brand new social media that allowed you to discuss games, share pictures, and much more using the Wii U GamePad. I spent countless hours posting, reading, and just enjoying looking at everything people were drawing or posting. A bunch of games actually used that feature in very creative ways. You could find messages in bottles in The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, you could see amazing art in Splatoon’s Inkopolis Plaza, the Miiverse stage in Smash used to display real posts from real users, Mario 3D World would show you posts from users after you beat a level, and much more. This feature was crazy innovative, and one of the best things Nintendo actually ever made. I truly wish a thing like this would come back but alas, I think it just had to be there at the right moment. But you know what, don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”[6]
