With Yumi’s Odd Odyssey’s North American launch just on the horizon, we spoke with Natsume’s Graham Markay and Kiyoshi Sakai, one of the series’ original developers. Topics include the game’s digital-only release, returning to the franchise after it had been dormant for so many years, and more. We also asked Natsume about a few other things such as Virtual Console and Wii U support.

We’ve split up the interview into a couple of pages – you’ll find Markay’s comments below and Sakai’s remarks on page two.

Originally wanted to post this yesterday… but things get delayed when there’s a Nintendo Direct!

Best Buy will be holding another 20% off sale for eShop cards starting on February 23. Consumers will be able to purchase $50 cards for $40, $35 cards for $28, and $20 cards for $16. The sale will last through March 1.

Also worth mentioning, Best Buy will be providing a $25 gift card with the purchase of a Mario & Luigi Wii U Deluxe Set. Sonic Lost World is getting a $20 discount as well for the week of February 23.

Thanks to PattonFiend for the tip.
