Zelda 3DS XL system also heading to Japan, sells out within minutes on Amazon Japan
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Nintendo will be releasing the special Zelda 3DS XL system in Japan in late December. It was previously announced for Europe, and a GameStop Black Friday ad leak confirmed the handheld for the US as well.
Amazon Japan started taking pre-orders for the Zelda 3DS XL earlier today. Just 700 units were available for pre-order, and within minutes, consumers snatched them all up. Given the small amount available, that should come as no surprise.

Shu Takumi – pressure working on Ghost Trick, Phoenix Wright vs. Professor Layton in a battle of wits, next project
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
ONM has published a new interview with Shu Takumi, creator of Phoenix Wright and Ghost Trick. There are a number of interesting bits sprinkled throughout, including how he felt stepping away from Ace Attorney and working on Ghost Trick.
I first started working on the Ghost Trick concept in 2004, after the completion of the original GBA version of Ace Attorney 3. The third game was supposed to be the last one, but plans changed and I ended up working on the first DS Ace Attorney, which, as you know, was the first Ace Attorney title to be localised and released in the west. My next project after that was Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, so by the time I got around to finishing Ghost Trick it was 2010, six years after I first thought up the concept.
I certainly felt a lot of pressure when making Ghost Trick, as it was a brand new IP and I had just left the Ace Attorney series, but I was grateful for the chance to take on a new challenge.

Defender’s Quest very likely for Wii U and 3DS, creator looking into cross-buy support
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Defender’s Quest is looking very likely for both 3DS and Wii U. A 3DS version is all but confirmed, and creator Lars Doucet also confirmed on Twitter that has a Wii U dev kit.
@GamefaMahdi Very good chance! Just not ready to publicly commit ourselves to it 100%. I have a WiiU Dev kit next to me right now.
— Lars Doucet (@larsiusprime) October 23, 2013
Doucet also said he’s looking into the possibility of cross-buy support between Wii U and 3DS:
@GamefaMahdi I'm also trying to reach @Dan_Adelman and see if Nintendo supports WiiU / 3DS cross-buy.
— Lars Doucet (@larsiusprime) October 23, 2013
As far as cross-buy between Wii U and PC goes, the chances of that happening aren’t so high. It’s not something that should be expected, understandably.
@GamefaMahdi Will have to get back to you on that, but *probably* not… console stuff is tricky.
— Lars Doucet (@larsiusprime) October 23, 2013
Thanks to mahdi g for the tip.
