You might get stuck inside a metal barrel that falls from above. Players can attack you while you’re stuck, so get yourself out by mashing buttons.

If you want to keep up with the remainder of Sakurai’s posts you can do so on the Miiverse page here. It’s definitely been a fun ride up to launch but now all that’s left to do is enjoy the games!

Today Sakurai shares with us some gameplay tips for Smash Tour:
He continues:
If you look reaaally closely, you’ll see that by rolling a 5, you can pass through the center of the map to the other end. This means that you’ll have an advantage if you keep rolling 5s!! Trophies like Ashley’s that slow down the roulette wheel may help you out here.

Today Sakurai shares some more tidbits on the Gamer stage. Have you noticed them in-game yet?
He continues:
Mom even appears out of the TV. Sometimes she jumps out of it and walks around. It gets a little crazy. The guy in the far window is Grandpa, who acts as Mom’s decoy. His wig is swaying.

…By the way, this model is actually a trophy. Diorama style. The Orbital Gate Assault stage actually took a whole year to complete.

Dragon Quest producer on the challenges of localizing Dragon Quest VII for 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS, News | 30 Comments
Dragon Quest producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto recently spoke in an interview about wanting to localize all Dragon Quest games in the series, specifically mentioning the Dragon Quest VII 3DS port. Here’s what he had to say in a recent TechnoBuffalo interview:
For a game like Dragon Quest VII for 3DS, Koshimizu (Director of Localization) and Inoue (Head Translator) noted that “the sheer volume is what presents the greatest challenge” to localization. That involves a great level of consistency between the team of translators and coordinators, who need to know the game intimately before attempting a localization.
Fujimoto added that for Dragon Quest VII, the translation process itself would take at least a year to complete. But easing the workload isn’t a simple matter of distributing it among as many translators as possible.
“Each translator has his or her own style, and the more we add, the harder it becomes to maintain consistency on the whole,” he said. “We rely on a small group of highly talented writers to produce a superior translation, which is then handed to the editor, who sees to it the feeling and fun of the story never falters, from start to finish.”
What do you think, would you like to see them start the localization process even if it won’t be finished until much further down the line? You can check out what else he had to say here
