Nintendo has always been open to the idea of working with publishers to include exclusive Nintendo themed costumes for hit franchises on their consoles. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 did this by allowing you to unlock costume “sets” and Bayonetta 2 has confirmed a couple of Nintendo themed skins as well.

With the introduction of Hyrule Warriors, more and more people are wondering what will come of the Zelda franchise being handled by another video game developer besides Nintendo. Hyrule Warriors‘ new developer, Tecmo Koei, shows great promise, especially since Eiji Aonuma is still overseeing it, but this new sort of collaboration has opened up many new possibilities in the minds of the fans.

Hideki Kamiya–the developer behind such games as Okami, Bayonetta, Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil, and The Wonderful 101–has taken to Twitter to answer exactly why it is he has such dislike for The Wind Waker, the high-seas Zelda adventure that originally appeared on the GameCube. In the past, Kamiya has cited A Link to the Past as a huge source of inspiration for his career in game design. This admiration apparently doesn’t extend to every game in Nintendo’s venerable Zelda series–The Wind…

In a recent interview over at IGN, Eiji Aonuma talked briefly about the idea of collaborating with other companies for future Nintendo and Legend of Zelda titles. With the Zelda series, Nintendo has given the lead to Capcom for several Zelda titles already, including Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, A Link to the Past/Four Swords, and The Minish Cap.

Retro Studios, best known for their work on the Metroid Prime trilogy, started out as a small, second-party game development company out of Austin, Texas. Due to their success in creating Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes for the GameCube, Nintendo brought them on as a valuable, first-party developer. Their name eventually became synonymous with their title, Metroid and they continued to make games for the series all the way through Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Aside from that, they…
