Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS will include a single-player campaign like the series’ previous entry, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. But it will be different from the Subspace Emissary.
Sakurai offered up one specific. It sounds like the team will be creating movie-like sequences once again, but these videos will be available at the beginning – no unlocking will be required. Players will be able to watch movies for Wii Fit Trainer, The Villager and Mega Man immediately.
Other differences are currently unknown.
According to Sakurai:
EA will reconsider its Wii U support if the console sells more, says you shouldn’t count Nintendo out
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
A few outlets have been asking Nintendo about third-party support over the past few days. One publisher in particular that has come up often is EA. But whenever these companies were mentioned, Nintendo typically said that an inquiry should be sent to the publisher.
Joystiq did exactly that with EA. The site caught up with EA Labels president Frank Gibeau to discuss Wii U and find out what it would take for the publisher to reconsider its Wii U support.
His response:
Sonic Lost World similarities to Sonic X-treme “a coincidence”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 0 comments
Although Sonic Lost World and Sonic X-treme may have some similarities, they aren’t intentional. Takashi Iizuka, who is in charge of Sonic Team, gave an official answer about possible connections between the two. Simply put, there aren’t any.
Iizuka said:
“The viewpoint is based upon the idea of expanding the forward view, because the sight lines have sometimes been limited, resulting in hindered gameplay. With the change, the new routes are possible, which expands gameplay. So that’s the point of the game itself.
Actually, no one in the team, except myself, are even aware of Sonic X-treme’s existence. So it’s just a coincidence.”

Sakurai not saying what happens when Kirby eats Mega Man in new Smash Bros.
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
It should come as no surprise that Masahiro Sakurai is keeping quiet on specific elements of the new Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS games. Sakurai is not, for instance, talking about what happens when Kirby eats Mega Man.
Sakurai only offered up the following:
“A lot of what you’re asking is still classified. As far as the physical appearance of Kirby, I think what you imagine is probably pretty close to what will actually happen.”
When asked if Kirby would receive an Mega Buster, Sakurai said: “He’s got little tiny arms, so who knows.”

Aonuma: Zelda: A Link Between Worlds not a direct sequel, same world with some changes
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is a sequel to A Link to the Past, but it isn’t a direct sequel. However, the SNES and 3DS do share the same world.
Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma also told Kotaku that the new game may include “a different generation of Link and Zelda.”
“It’s not a direct sequel in the sense that it’s the same Link and Zelda. The world is the same and it might be a different generation of Link and Zelda.”
Aonuma also went into some detail about the similarity between the two worlds. There will be some changes in topography, land, and probable modifications to the dungeons in terms of what’s inside.
“It’s the same world. It’s the same space. But in the same way that, over time, the topography can change, there will be some changes. The land will be affected a little bit. The dungeons, for the most part, will be in the same place, but inside might change. Now that I say that out loud, it sounds a little strange, but we’re making decisions based on what’s best for gameplay. We’re picking and choosing what we change and what we don’t, so players can expect some changes.”
Aonuma also believes that the ability to turn Link into a drawing will let “players see it in a whole new light.”
