Yasumi Matsuno to Develop for Wii

09.21.2006

If playing Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Nintendo Wii was hard to believe, what about the rest of the RPG genre? Yasumi Matsuno, former director of Final Fantasy XII asked the same question at a conference in Tokyo last week as he declared his plans to develop for the console.

"The Wii controller makes total sense when you think about FPS-like games, but my question was, will the controls fit other existing games?" he was reported in saying. "However, when I first tried Mario Galaxy, I realized that the controller fit the game almost scarily well. It allows you to intuitively feel the game and its atmosphere."

The company Matsuno will develop for or the details of the project are currently unknown. Yasumi Matsuno is known for his creation of the Ogre Battle series and was responsible for the development of Final Fantasy Tactics.

It sounds like more designers are starting to see how the Wii could benefit their games! And this designer is coming over from FF tactics and FF XII. That sounds pretty good to me.

I'd also like to welcome our newest member geordanuk. Please try to help him out if he has questions.
