Iwata Asks: Monster Hunter 3 - Capcom's graphic fidelity put the pressure on Nintendo's Zelda team

July 31, 2009 by The News Team Filed Under: Wii

A few snippets of info from the Iwata Asks feature on Monster Hunter 3...

- Capmp worked extra hard on making the graphics in MH3 the best on Wii
- Nintendo's designers were very impressed with the graphics, so much so that the Zelda team really felt the pressure after seeing Capcom's work
- Tsujimoto said the Wiimote didn't have enough buttons, and the dev team took right up until the TGS showing to map out the controls
- the idea of motion control was tossed out due to the immense amount of hours players spend with this game
- Capcom worked with Nintendo to design the Classic Controller Pro

I think that's great, it implies the Zelda team are hard at work at making the next Zelda one of the best looking games in the system. Also good to see Nintendo working with Capcom for the classic controller pro. Thoughts?

thats my favorite part, all companies should be humbling themselves and asking nintendo help, its their console, they understand it better than anyone.
