Kenji Eno Returns to Gaming
Kenji Eno, creator of the D series of games, and Enemy Zero on the Sega Saturn, recently told Gamasutra that he planned to return to game development, with a release on a console “...with a new control device.” The implication, or at least the inferrence made by Gamasutra, was that this meant a new game for Nintendo’s Wii. Eno’s new company will be called Fyto, or “From Yellow to Orange.”
Eno has had mixed successes in the games industry; the original D was published for the ill-fated 3DO, but would eventually see releases on multiple platforms. Similarly, the sequel, Enemy Zero would be developed for the Sega Saturn, after a row between Eno and Sony. D2 was originally intended for the M2, the follow-up console to the 3DO, but with that hardware’s death, the game moved to the Dreamcast, another console that disappeared ahead of its time. Thus, having a Kenji Eno game on a console may not be the best thing in the world. Eno’s games have been inventive, but infamous at the same time for some of their content. If there is a game in the future for the Wii, though, with Eno at the helm, it will surely be unique.
