Shigeru Miyamoto: We Haven't Decided to Turn 'Project Giant Robot' Into Full Game
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Video game designer and producer Shigeru Miyamoto commented on Nintendo's previously shown "Project Giant Robot" Wii U game in an interview with TIME posted on March 3, saying that, "'Project Giant Robot' was something we started as a second project, and unfortunately we haven't yet decided to turn that into a full game."
Nintendo recently revealed its "Project Guard" title as Star Fox Guard, a separate game bundled with the Star Fox Zero Wii U game.
Shigeru Miyamoto introduced his "Project Giant Robot" game at E3 in 2014. In this title, "players control sky-scraping automatons, angling the Wii U GamePad in front of a TV screen while shifting their torsos left and right or up and down to maneuver the robot's upper-body while thumbing the controller's joysticks to punch or grab — almost like a full-body game of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. The GamePad shows you what the robot sees, while the TV screen offers a zoomed-back view, letting onlookers — as well as you — admire your tromping, pummeling handiwork." A Nintendo nine-month earnings report in early 2015 slated the game for release in Japan and the United States in 2015.
