Bit.Trip Butt
Tonight’s Nintendo Direct was packed with exciting moments. Highlights include the reveal ofMajora’s Mask 3D, a look atSplatoon‘s single-player, some of the “naked creatures” ofXenoblade Chronicles X,Duck Hunt dog’s face, and Miyamoto geeking out over hisPikminshort films.
For me, the only honest-to-god shocker came from the little announcement that Commander Video from theBit.Tripserieswill have a trophy inSuper Smash Bros.for the Wii U. While third-party characters have made it to trophy status in the past, Nintendo’s willingness to include an indie mascot from a Western developer in its prestigious all-star crossover game feels different.
After Dan Adelmanleft the company, many feared that Nintendo would lose momentum in its ongoing push towards better integration of indie games into its overall business strategy. Thisexchangebetween Nintendo’s Damon Baker andBit.Tripstudio Choice Provisions will hopefully put those fears to rest.
When you’re comfortable enough to request up-skirts from a colleague, or in this case, up-butts, chances are mutual respect and admiration are a given.
