Super Smash Bros. for 3DS Screenshots (09/02/14) – All-Star mode
Posted on 9 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS, News, Screenshots | 9 Comments
Today Sakurai talks a little bit about All-Star mode for the 3DS, which looks like it will be a little bit more dynamic than in previous entries:
He continues:
In these battles, multiple opponents appear in one stage, and you clear the battle by defeating a number of them. The rest area that appears between battles displays the next opponents and the year the characters made their first appearances, and it also holds recovery items and an occasional reward. The characters you fight against appear pretty much in chronological order. Behold, the history of Nintendo games!!

Square considering Theatrhythm style games with other franchises
Posted on 9 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Theatrhythm producer Ichiro Hazama stated in an interview with German website Planet3DS recently that he’d like to see the Theatrhythm formula brought in to other franchises. Curtain Call will be the last in the series to feature Final Fantasy music and he’s looking for potential avenues for the future of the series. Here’s the quote:
From my personal view, I really like what we’ve created here – the Threatrhythm series and the type of game. And yes, even though this is the end of Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy, I really don’t want to bring the Theatrhythm series as a whole to an end. Obviously I don’t have anything we can announce at the moment but we really would like to move out and go into other titles. So you can certainly expect something from Theatrhythm like that in the future.
