1.- Rayman Origins creative director Michel Ancel has told Gamasutra that while he has respect for Shigeru Miyamoto and is a fan of the Zelda franchise, he just can’t get into the Mario games.
“I will tell you something terrible — I don’t really enjoy playing Mario games. I don’t like gliding, I don’t like its inertia, and I don’t like not being able to give some slaps! It’s a fabulous series, and I understand that people love it, but it’s not my cup of tea.”
“I used to prefer Ghosts n’ Goblins, Heart of Darkness, Another World – games with a focus on the narrative side. Beyond that, I find Mario‘s controls very interesting, but I don’t buy it. I can’t help but seeing the ropes of the game, even if it works.”
Michel Ancel has been referred to as ”the French Miyamoto” which is something he says he’s deeply honoured by, but he admits he’s very different from Nintendo’s legendary games designer.
“I’m very different from Miyamoto.”
“I really loved the idea of introducing artistic features in games — that is to say the storytelling, the artwork, music — and to get everything together in the best possible alchemy. We have two different approaches, two different tracks.”
2.- F1 2011 has never provided the impression of being a worthy purchase. Unfortunately, those impressions seem to have been spot-on based on what Nintendo Life had to say about the game. Here’s their conclusion:
F1 2011 is u,nfortunately, not the game to remedy matters. Unless you’re a fan of frustrating ugly racers with brutally unrealistic and aggressive opponent AI, we advise that you steer well clear of it. Maybe next year, Codemasters will release the game that F1 fans deserve.

3.- Capcom has revealed that the spectacular Monster Hunter 4 trailer for the Nintendo 3DS which was shown off in September was from a playable build of the game.
“I started working on the series not at the beginning but part-way through its history. I think because of that, early on I was more looking objectively at the series and how we could change small, individual elements within it, rather than looking at how the series should evolve. As time has passed – particularly in the last few years – I’ve started to think a lot more about how I can take the series and really make it my own Zelda and evolve it further. As Mr. Miyamoto has allowed me to take the reins on the Zelda series, ultimately that’s what I need to do. Perhaps some people will think it’s a little bit late for me to start thinking about that, but as time goes by, that’s becoming more of a theme in how I’m approaching the series.”
4.- There are new screenshots showing off the Jhen Moran sub-species from Monster Hunter Tri G that you can find after the break.
King of Pirates was revealed a while back, but we haven’t seen any gameplay footage. Luckily, Marvelous AQL has revealed that the game will be making its playable debut at the Jump Festa event in Japan. The event is open to the public, so it’s likely that footage of the game and details will make their way online.
