Update: Reuters has just published a report stating “Nintendo denies report games designer Miyamoto to retire” [http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/12/08/us-nintendo-idUSTRE7B70C520111208].
After 30+ years at the company, Shigeru Miyamoto has announced he is “retiring.” In an interview with Wired.com, Miyamoto says he’s not leaving the company at all, but will be resigning from his current position that involves work on big, important projects at the company. Instead, he will focus on smaller and personal assignments.
“Inside our office, I’ve been recently declaring, ‘I’m going to retire, I’m going to retire. I’m not saying that I’m going to retire from game development altogether. What I mean by retiring is, retiring from my current position.”
Perhaps that’s why Super Mario 3D Land features many characteristics of the earlier Mario games. The Mario 8-bit character seen at the level menu in the game and many other details from old games are perhaps a way of appreciation to Miyamoto from the ones that he has worked with.
With Skyward Sword as the earliest saga in Zelda’s history, we know now how Link became the Hero of Time. Miyamoto must have wanted to do this with Zelda before the end of his involvement in major games.
Though it’s great he wants to share his skills with younger generations of game designers and producers, we gamers who have enjoyed his games since the 80s will indeed miss his talent and creativity, for sure.
“What I really want to do is be in the forefront of game development once again myself. Probably working on a smaller project with even younger developers. Or I might be interested in making something that I can make myself, by myself. Something really small,” said Miyamoto.
I would love to see Shigeru Miyamoto as himself in other games. A fight against Mario in the next Super Smash Bros. would be priceless.
As the creator of Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda and other well-known characters, he deserves our utmost respect.
Thanks for the memories, Shigeru Miyamoto! You are the Hero of Our Time and Forever.

Actualización: Reuters ha publicado un informe que dice “Nintendo desmiente reporte del retiro del diseñador de juegos Miyamoto” [http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/12/08/us-nintendo-idUSTRE7B70C520111208].
Después de 30 años en la compañía, Shigeru Miyamoto ha anunciado que va a “retirarse”. En una entrevista con Wired.com, Miyamoto dice que no está dejando la compañía en absoluto, sino que estará renunciando a su posición actual que implica trabajar en proyectos grandes e importantes en la empresa. En su lugar, se concentrará en tareas más pequeñas y personales.
“Dentro de nuestra oficina he estado diciendo ‘me voy a retirar, me voy a retirar’. Y con ello no quiero decir que me retiraré del desarrollo de juegos por completo, a lo que me refiero es a que me retiraré de mi posición actual”.
Tal vez es por eso que Super Mario 3D Land cuenta con muchas características de los anteriores juegos de Mario. El personaje 8-bit de Mario visto en el menú de niveles en el juego y otros detalles de viejos juegos son tal vez forma de reconocimiento a Miyamoto de parte de los que han trabajado con él.
Con Skyward Sword como la primera saga de la historia de Zelda, ahora sabemos cómo Link se convierte en el Héroe del Tiempo. Miyamoto debe haber querido hacer esto con Zelda antes de que finalice su participación en los juegos importantes.
Aunque es ideal que quiera compartir sus habilidades con las generaciones más jóvenes de diseñadores y productores de juegos, los jugadores que hemos disfrutado de sus juegos desde los 80 sí extrañarán su talento y creatividad, por supuesto.
“Lo que realmente quiero hacer es estar en la vanguardia del desarrollo de juegos, una vez más a mí mismo. Probablemente trabajando en un proyecto pequeño con los desarrolladores más jóvenes. O podría estar interesado en hacer algo que puedo hacer por mí mismo. Algo realmente pequeño”, dijo Miyamoto.
Me encantaría ver a Shigeru Miyamoto como sí mismo en otros juegos. Una pelea contra Mario en el próximo Super Smash Bros. no tendría precio.
Como el creador ded Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda y otros conocidos personajes, él se merece todo nuestro respeto.
¡Gracias por los recuerdos, Shigeru Miyamoto! Usted es el Héroe de Nuestros Tiempos y para Siempre.

On the same night Microsoft makes a big update available for its Xbox 360 consoles, Nintendo does it as well. The Nintendo 3DS update comes with 3D video-recording capabilities, a new app called Nintendo Zone, and new content on StreetPass Mii Plaza (including a sequel to Find Mii).
Once the update is installed, the camera app will take a bit longer to open up, but only on the first try. This app has to be used while at certain participating places, meaning, next time you go out, take your 3DS with you. To record videos in 3D, open the camera app and select the video-camera icon.
With Nintendo Zone (now available for everyone’s 3DS), users can get exclusive videos, previews and offers at selected locations (like McDonalds or BestBuy).
In StreetPass Mii Plaza, you can get Congratulations! messages for many of your achievements (examples: have 50 Mii characters in your plaza, met Mii characters from five different regions or two different countries, made it through a room in Find Mii, etc.). Also, a music player, slide show, StreetPass map, and accomplishments show up as new features in the app.
The Nintendo eStore was under maintenance at the time of writing of this post. Nintendo eShop is currently undergoing maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please try again later.
(Update: The Nintendo eStore is back to normal since this morning).
There are many more things to do now with a Nintendo 3DS.

Apena se instala la actualización, la aplicación cámara se demorará un poco más en abrirse, pero solo en el primer intento. Esta aplicación tiene que usarse mientras que se está en ciertos lugares participantes, en otras palabras, para la próxima vez que salgas, lleven su 3DS con ustedes. Para grabar videos en 3D, abran la aplicación cámara y escojan el ícono de videocámara.
Con Nintendo Zone (ahora disponible en los 3ds de todos), los usuarios pueden obtener avances, videos exclusivos, y ofertas en lugares determinados (como en McDonalds y BestBuy).
En StreetPass Mii Plaza, puedes recibir mensajes de ¡Felicitaciones! por tus logros (ejemplos: si tienes 50 personajes Mii en tu plaza, conoces a personajes Mii de cinco diferentes regiones o de dos países diferentes, si completaste un cuarto en Find Mii, etc.).

Are you ready for Metro?
Microsoft’s newest update (now available after a 9-hour delay) today marks a big step for the company in trying to become a leader in entertainment in its users’ living rooms.
For Microsoft, the availability of the new interface (known as Metro) is expanding from the Windows Phone 7 smartphones to the Xbox 360 starting today, and in 2012, it will offer a new versión of its computer operating system, Windows 8, with touch-based charcteristics on its interface. For now, Xbox 360 users will have to get used to Metro after 3 years of using the now-old interface that is being replaced by millions of people.
Besides the new interface, new services will be offered for users of the paid subscription service Xbox Live Gold, though some selected services will be used by game players for free. Gold users will enjoy watching TV channels live via Xbox Live. Diverse TV channels will be seen in over 20 countries.
After the update, some aplicaciones have to be downloaded again (such as ESPN, Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc.).
The following is a list of the services that will be available, according to the indicated dates, through Xbox Live in different countries, and an infograph of Microsoft showing the Evolution of TV and Entertainment.

It’s the most recent TV commercial aired in Japan. With only nine more days for its release, fans must be very anxious to play this sequel. For many gamers, FFXIII was a very linear game and some were not happy about this, while it wasn’t much of a deal for most . Other gamers said there wasn’t much of an opportunity for a side-quest, something that involves exploration, an important feature of role-playing games. Let’s hope FFXIII-2 gets to fulfill the expectations of lots of gamers.

Otros jugadores dicen que no hubo mucha oportunidad para una conquista o aventura secundaria, algo que tiene exploración, un detalle importante de los juegos de rol. Esperemos que FFXIII-2 logre llenar las expectativas de varios jugadores.

If you are a Capcom gamer of the Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 kind, you know I’m not referring to a match between Full Sail and UF. Two top universities in the state of Florida unite with the purpose of establishing a liaison that could help many students continue with their education from one place to another. Students will have far more options to continue with their study of preference. Both institutions still need to work on the details to make sure students get to meet the requirements for each program.

Full Sail University and University of Florida endorse educational collaboration
Dec. 2, 2011
Winter Park, Fla. — The University of Florida and Full Sail University boards have endorsed a collaboration to create more educational and career opportunities for students at both schools in media, technology and entertainment business.
The collaboration will, among other things, make it easier for students who graduate with certain degrees at one institution to have access to the next level of degree program at the other institution. It also will help clear the way for co-promotion of such degree and certificate programs, with the aim of establishing Central and North Central Florida as a national leader for entertainment business and technology.
“It just makes sense for institutions to share their assets in order to benefit their students,” Machen said. “UF and Full Sail each have fields in which they excel. Why not make it easier for students to have the best of both worlds?”
Full Sail President Garry Jones called the collaboration “a fantastic new chapter in the histories of both universities.”
“This is truly exciting,” Jones said. “Our schools have so much to offer each other, and the best part is that the students at both our institutions will be the big winners.”
The project initially would focus on sports, business, computer game development and engineering, animation, and education degree and certificate programs.
UF colleges that have expressed interest in the plan include Journalism and Communications, Fine Arts, Business Administration, Health and Human Performance, Education and Engineering.
Founded in 1979, Full Sail offers over 30 master’s, bachelor’s and associate degree programs with an emphasis in many areas related to entertainment and media. Its enrollment is more than 15,000.
The collaboration is part of what Machen calls the university’s Accelerated Market Priorities. AMPs, as they are called, will be a series of initiatives aimed at making the university more responsive to the needs of the job market.
“As I’ve said before, we consider economic development to be a university mission equal in importance to research, education and service,” Machen said. “AMPs make it possible for us to respond quickly to rapidly changing markets.”
A time frame for the collaboration has not been established. The plan calls for several measures to be met. Those include ensuring that each institution’s admissions process and standards are met by students admitted to its degree programs, and each institution’s degree and accreditation requirements are met for degrees earned with courses taken at both institutions, according to the resolution trustees approved.
About the University of Florida
The University of Florida is one of the nation’s largest public universities. A member of the Association of American Universities, UF receives more than $619 million annually in sponsored research funding. Through its research and other activities, UF contributes more than $8.76 billion a year to Florida’s economy and has a total employment impact of more than 100,000 jobs statewide. www.ufl.edu. University of Florida Research; Working for Florida.
About Full Sail University:
Full Sail University is an award-winning educational leader for those pursuing careers in the entertainment and media industry. Founded in 1979, Full Sail has been recognized as one of the Top Five Game Degree Programs by Electronic Gaming Monthly, one of the Best Music Programs by Rolling Stone Magazine, and one of the Best Film Programs by UNleashed Magazine. In 2011, Full Sail received the “21st Century Best Practices in Distance Learning Award” from the United States Distance Learning Association, was named the “School/College of the Year” by the Florida Association of Postsecondary Schools and Colleges, and was recognized as one of the Top 100 Social Media Colleges by Studentadvisor.com.
Full Sail offers Master, Bachelor, and Associate campus and online degree programs in areas related to animation, art, business, education, graphic design, film, marketing, web development, music, recording arts, sports, and video games. Full Sail graduate credits include work on OSCAR®, Emmy®, GRAMMY®, ADDY®, MTV Video Music Award, and Spike Video Game Award nominated and winning projects.

XENOBLADE CHRONICLES COMING TO NINTENDO’S WII CONSOLE IN SPRING
Dec. 2, 2011
It’s man vs. machine in a new game coming to Nintendo’s Wii™ console in spring. Xenoblade Chronicles™ asks players to use the Monado blade to take on a seemingly endless series of invading Mechon robots in a sweeping role-playing adventure.
The main character is Shulk, a weapons researcher who must confront the Mechon by wielding the ancient Monado blade. It’s the only weapon that has any effect against the Mechon, and it also enables Shulk to see the future.
Players can customize their characters with a variety of weapons and armor choices, as well as headgear, boots and gloves. As in many role-playing games, players can then gain experience and upgrade their characters. Players can watch their enemies, learn their tactics and unleash real-time counterattacks.
The vast open world of Xenoblade Chronicles is ripe for exploration. Players can avert their focus from the main story and venture out looking for other challenges and side quests. Hidden areas and unique monsters are scattered throughout the game’s massive world, which players can explore freely.
Xenoblade Chronicles has already launched in Japan and Europe, and has received unanimously positive reviews, including several perfect scores.
Xenoblade Chronicles will be available exclusively through U.S. GameStop retail locations,http://www.gamestop.com and http://www.nintendo.com at a suggested retail price of $49.99 in the United States. Additional information about the game will be announced in the future. For more information, visit http://xenobladechronicles.nintendo.com.
