A new Iwata Asks interview has gone live on the U.S. Wii website. Iwata, along with developers from Nintendo and Treasure, discuss the development of Sin and Punishment: Star Successor as well as the original game. We’ve picked out some of the notable quotes below, though you can check out the full interview here.

Iwata
Yamagami-san and I had actually been talking for some time about making Sin & Punishment for the Wii console.

Maegawa
Huh? Really?!

Yamagami
Yeah. (laughs)

Maegawa
I was surprised when I got a reply a mere three days after submitting the proposal. It can take up to a few months to hear results, so I was telling these two to take it easy.

Nakagawa and
Suzuki
(nods)

Yamagami
When I received the proposal from Maegawa-san, I was really pleased with it, but I didn’t get to discuss it with Iwata-san until three days later.

Iwata
If I’d been able to meet with Yamagami-san the same day it arrived, I would have approved it that very day.

A number of developers who worked on Scribblenauts have discussed the possibility of bringing the series to Wii in recent months. But even though there seems to be some interest there, when Warner Bros. announced a sequel, the press release stated that it will be heading to the DS only.

A Swedish retailer, though, was thinking otherwise. An online listing from the retailer popped up (an additional listing can be seen here) that stated the title will be released for Wii. I’m doubtful at this point that it’s really going to happen, but this is what the retailer said about the situation:

“Our purchasing department has put the product on the website as information from our distributor. Currently, all data is preliminary and is subject to change.”

Thanks to Anders for the tip!

According to the French Official Nintendo Magazine, Ubisoft already has plans for Red Steel 3. The game will supposedly make use of the Wii Vitality Sensor, the newest Nintendo peripheral. Unfortunately, that was the only detail shared in the magazine.

I do have a few doubts about the validity of this news, however. Red Steel 2 was literally just released and there have been talks of bringing the franchise to the PS3/360. I’d love for this information to be true, but until Ubisoft makes some sort of announcement (or confirms that this is fake), keep your fingers crossed.

“[Tatsunoko Vs Capcom] certainly beat the initial expectations. It didn’t set any land speed records, but it was a success. And that’s really saying something considering that we’re talking about a game that was not only never coming out, but has a title that most people can’t even pronounce.” – Capcom’s Seth Killian

This is very good news. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is a high-quality title and Capcom put a lot of effort into bringing the game over to North America, so it’s nice to hear that consumers have been purchasing the game. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting it to sell very well, but I’m certainly glad that it has!
