Borderlands Movie Currently In The Works
Lions Gate Entertainment has
confirmed that they’re currently
in development for a Borderlands
movie.
In a recent news report from variety,
Hollywood producers Avi
and Ari Arad are currently expected
to sign up for the upcoming
project. In the past, the duo
Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto
has spoken out about the possibility
of releasing Super Mario
Galaxy 3.
In a recent interview from Eurogamer.net
– Miyamoto spoke
about Nintendo’s current focus
in harking back to its traditional
2D roots in creating titles that
“anyone can play”. With New Super
Bros. (Wii/WiiU) and the upcoming
Mario Maker serving as
the main example(s), Miyamoto
discussed that the “opportunities”
are always on table when it
comes to releasing another 3D
Mario title.
“We’re always thinking, is there
a middle ground where people,
who do enjoy the 3D worlds of
Galaxy, and those who enjoy
have been involved in the development
of such films as Iron
Man, Spider Man, X-Men, Ghost
Rider and Blade.
Released back in 2009, Borderlands
is a role-playing first person
shooter created by Gearbox
Software. To this day the series
has spawn two sequels, and a
spin-off title, Tales from the Borderlands,
from Telltale games.
No news as of yet for the possible
release date. In the meantime,
be sure to check out Nicks
recent review for Borderlands:
The Handsome Collection.
Rating it a superb 9.3/10 in his
review, Nick praised the package
as a worthy purchase for
the modern hardware. “While it’s
loot-centric shooterama gameplay
might not tickle everyone
– you’d be hard-pressed to find
this much story, action and brilliant
game design in another
FPS,” he wrote in his review.
“The Handsome Collection is
well worth checking out!”

Miyamoto Hints Super Mario Galaxy 3’s Possibility
New Super Mario Bros. can both
enjoy it?” Miyamoto said to Eurogamer.
Whilst looking at keeping
his games accessibly to a wide
audience, Miyamoto went on to
also say that he, and Yoshiaki
Koizumi (director of Super Mario
Galaxy) are always looking to
“challenge Galaxy” and do another
3D action title.
“As the hardware technology
gets better and advances, I think
there will be a lot of opportunity
for both options,” Miyamoto said,
discussing the chance of releasing
both 2D and 3D orientated
titles.
However with the rumors circulating
around about Nintendo’s
upcoming NX concole – the possibility
of a new 3D Mario Game
for the Wii U seems very unlikely.
Though given the company’s
upcoming lineup for the openworld
Legend of Zelda game –
Miyamoto said that Nintendo is
always looking at new ways to
“surprise the audience”.
