The Legend of Legacy won’t have DLC, other comments from the game’s director
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Most games these days tend to offer some form of downloadable content. But in the case of The Legend of Legacy, there are no such plans.
Director Masataka Matsuura told Inside Games (as translated by Siliconera):
“There won’t be a single piece of DLC. That’s pretty rare nowadays. I didn’t want to allocate any of our development budget to that. We’re going with the philosophy of simply focusing on the game as a whole.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Inside Games asked if The Legend of Legacy will have something like a New Game+ mode, where enemies get tougher after beating the game. Matsuura said in response:

Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D revamps the Bomber’s Notebook
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 13 Comments
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D will feature a revamped Bomber’s Notebook, series producer Eiji Aonuma has revealed.
For those who haven’t experienced the original, the book can be used to keep track of different quests. Players can obtain it fairly early on.
Aonuma shared the news about improving the Bomber’s Notebook in this month’s issue of GamesMaster. As it turns out, it was Shigeru Miyamoto who suggested that the book be redone so that players would be more aware of the “hidden events” included in the game.
Aonuma stated:
We were told by Mr. Miyamoto that he felt there were a lot of users who finished the original without even noticing all the hidden events scattered around the town. He said that he wanted us to make sure users were more aware of them this time around.

GungHo on Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition’s origins and more
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 18 Comments
GungHo Online Entertainment made a surprising announcement this week: Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition for 3DS. Following the reveal, Japanese outlet 4Gamer caught up with a couple of the game’s developers for a brief interview.
First, Daisuke Yamamoto and Kazuki Morishita shared the following when asked when GungHo started planning a collaboration with Super Mario Bros.:
Morishita: We contacted Nintendo with New Year’s 2014 greetings as we reported that Puzzle & Dragons Z had sold one million copies. We said, “we’d like to do more Puzzle & Dragons spin-offs” to president Iwata and Mr. Miyamoto. From there on, we tried to create the Mario version in-house at GungHo as we thought, “wouldn’t it be better to show Nintendo?” Then discussions with Nintendo progressed again.
Yamamoto: We showed a prototype to Nintendo several months after contacting them for the first time.
Morishita: From there, we rebuilt the game anew by combining the action of Puzzle & Dragons and the world and stages of Super Mario Bros.
Fry’s not taking pre-orders for Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Update: It does indeed look like Fry’s is selling the Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition, but you’ll probably need to head to your local store at or around launch:
@JCman7 you're welcome! Currently we are not going to have enough to sell online as well. -B
— Fry's Electronics (@fryselectronics) January 11, 2015
@JCman7 no problem! Always a chance we may have a few online. Be sure to check our website at launch! -B

Fry’s has stated on its Twitter account that it will not be taking pre-orders for The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition. Whether or not the retailer intends to sell any stock at all once the game is released is unclear.
Fry’s Twitter post states:
@metalgario35 Unfortunately there was confusion about the special edition being available for pre-order. Only the regular edition will be -B
— Fry's Electronics (@fryselectronics) January 10, 2015
Nintendo originally said that Amazon, GameStop, and Fry’s would be the exclusive retailers selling the Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition. However, Best Buy ended up opening pre-orders for a short time a few days ago. Perhaps Nintendo mixed up Fry’s with Best Buy?
Thanks to James for the tip.
