Aside from efforts like The Conduit (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/the-conduit) and the Resident Evil 4 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/resident-evil-4) Wiimake (no, we couldn't help it), Nintendo's Wii hasn't exactly enjoyed a glut of capable FPS titles. According to a recent interview with games[TM] (via NowGamer (http://www.nowgamer.com/news/2119/aonuma-wanted-to-make-crossbow-training-2)), Zelda director Eiji Aonuma recognizes this -- and sees great potential for fixing that problem in Link's Crossbow Training (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/links-crossbow-training), the pack-in minigame included with the Wii Zapper. "To tell you the truth, I actually wanted to create Link's Crossbow Training 2 ... I thought that we should do something more and better in the field of the first-person shooter." Wait, haven't we heard this before (http://nintendo.joystiq.com/2008/05/09/miyamoto-links-crossbow-training-is-fps-training/)?
Unfortunately for Aonuma, the execs above him at Nintendo didn't think much of the idea, nixing it in favor of a completely new entry in the Zelda series. " I was thinking that maybe we could intensify the multiplayer mode ... [but] a lot of people inside Nintendo insisted that I should work on a new Legend of Zelda title." We're sorry about that, Mr. Aonuma! And to the Nintendo executives who killed a sequel to Link's Crossbow Training, we'd like to personally thank you.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Nintendo's Aonuma pitched Link's Crossbow Training 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/26/nintendos-aonuma-pitched-links-crossbow-training-2/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Sat, 26 Dec 2009 19:00:00 EST.
