Development of the second DLC batch is now in the final stages, which makes sense given that it’s targeted for launch in May. Those in Japan can also use this link to purchase DLC from mariokart.tv.

Zoë Mode, in partnership with Activision, was once working on DJ Hero: After Party. The game was slated for Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

DJ Hero: After Party was intended to be “an alternative approach to the formula”, according to Unseen64. A developer who worked on the project said that it “had a very different vibe to it than the other games”, with a more ” relaxed and laid back” vibe.

For whatever reason, Activision did not go further with DJ Hero: After Party and rejected the pitch in October 2009. However, the publisher held on to their concepts – some of which were used in DJ Hero 2.

While the Japanese magazine asked Aonuma about a variety of topics, Majora’s Mask was the main focus.
