It was rather odd seeing a lack of Japanese Wii U games at E3 2012. That doesn’t mean that Japanese developers aren’t interested in the system, however.
Famitsu interviewed a number of high-profile creators in its latest issue, including Yoshinori Ono, Suda 51 (who had promised No More Heroes 3 for Nintendo’s new console a few years ago!), Keiji Inafune, Akihiro Hino, and more. Head past the break to see what they had to say about the system.

Lost Heroes 3DS/PSP differences
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
A few weeks ago, Namco Bandai announced that the once 3DS-exclusive Lost Heroes would be heading to the PSP as well. The company noted that the 3DS version will feature a download for Famicom’s SD Hero Soukessen while the PSP edition will offer five custom themes and bonus data.
Famitsu detailed a couple of extra differences in its latest issue.
StreetPass will be supported on the 3DS, which offers special dungeons with rare items in the form of “random cubes”. The PSP version sports custom soundtracks including the option to set music for Hero Skills.
The magazine also revealed three new heroes. Kamen Rider Den-O, Z Gundam, and Ultraman Taro will be included.
Lost Heroes launches in Japan on September 6.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy producer explains why his game is on the 3DS
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Technically, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy could have landed on a number of different platforms. In the end, though, indieszero and Square Enix settled on the 3DS.
Producer Ichiro Hazama recently commented on the decision to create the game for Nintendo’s portable system in an interview with IGN. For the most part, Hazama compared the 3DS hardware to the DS, which features superior “capacity” and “a great sound system”.
Hazama said:
“Of course, both of the aspects that you mentioned are part of the key elements. But also, compared to the DS, it has a much greater capacity, and it has a great sound system. To combine the sound and the visuals, we thought that this would be a great platform to work on.”
