Miyamoto, Inafune keynotes at CEDEC conference

by JC Fletcher on Aug 8th 2008 4:30PM

Next month's CESA Development Conference (CEDEC) in Tokyo will feature keynote presentations from Shigeru Miyamoto and Capcom producer (and Mega Man creator) Keiji Inafune. Miyamoto's talk, "From where should we create?" (or something like that), will look at the development process of Wii Music, the philosophy of game production and "universal design," and the small problems that come up every day.

Inafune's talk has yet to be outlined, but he is producing the boldly retro-minded Mega Man 9. A keynote about the challenges of strictly limiting yourself technologically could be interesting. It'll probably end up being about the Lost Planet movie, though.

I'm hoping for information on the next Zelda. If so, I will be satisfied.

Haha, not happening. This sounds like a Japanese version of GDC to me.

Goodie, more of WiiMusic! [/sarcastic]
What is the problem with Nintendo. Really!
So they release the NES, good success, hard to say if it was good or not as their was nothing to compare too. Then the SNES, it was amazing, then the N64 where they pretty much shit all over the place toward the end of it's life, effecting the image of Nintendo to a point of not being able to sell GameCubes, then the Game Cube is out, awesome, but people have the image in their head (Nintendo = baby console). Now the Wii, awesome sells like hotcakes, and they start shitting all over the console once more.

Everyday I see the XBox more intresting.

I'd like to hear the results from it. It might explain how they took two years to finish a game that was playable at E3 2006, and seemed to remove functionality from that point

Basically, i'd like to see the "point" of Wii Music beyond their equivalent to button mashing
