In the future, Senran Kagura producer Kenichiro Takaki hopes to cut down on the time it takes to release new entries in other territories. “I’d really like things to expand to where we can narrow the gap between the releases in Japan [and the rest of the world], as much as possible,” Takaki told Inside Games.

Takaki also discussed his thoughts on the reaction from foreign fans:

“They’re so passionate, and it always surprises me. People from other countries who purchase the game would often take a picture after making their purchase and line it up next to their country’s flag saying ‘check this out’ and then sending it to me.”

“At first, I thought of it as a specialized product for Japan. I didn’t even think about releasing it outside of Japan. And now, it has expanded across Asia, North America, and Europe, and I’m very grateful.”

The Japanese Super Smash Bros. for 3DS packaging we posted earlier today offers up a few more tidbits about the upcoming game.

As many of you know, Smash Bros. will include StreetPass functionality. The packaging indicates that the feature ties into a “mini-game”, but sadly, no further information is provided. You can count on SpotPass support as well, which comes in the form of “notifications”.

Keep in mind that Super Smash Bros. for 3DS does not support Download Play. Those who plan on playing local matches will each need a copy of the game.

Finally, the title will only include one save slot. That was probably expected!

The Pokemon Company has now sent out screenshots and the official announcement for Mega Slowbro in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. You’ll find all of the latest content below.

The 2014 Pokémon World Championships concluded last night in Washington, DC, and attendees were treated to a special video that showcased the Mega-Evolved form of Slowbro in a new trailer by Mr. Junichi Masuda, video game director at GAME FREAK.

Slowbro, a Water- and Psychic-type Pokémon, is one of two evolved forms of Slowpoke, the other being Slowking. When Slowbro Mega Evolves into Mega Slowbro, its energy gathers in the Shellder clamped onto its tail. As a result, the hardness of its shell is boosted, making its armour incredibly strong. In battle, Mega Slowbro balances on its tail, wearing Shellder as an impenetrable armour over its body.

With the Japanese Super Smash Bros. 3DS coming closer, some of the game’s packaging is already starting to appear. There’s not too much to see in the shot above, though it does reveal the game’s file size. It takes up 2.1GB of space on an SD card, which is about 17,300 blocks.

Link Mode, an online communication tool discovered by paying an in-game visit to the Guild Office in the town of Castele, is a feature that – once activated – allows you to connect with friends when they are playing Fantasy Life at the same time*, and exchange messages and valuable tips during gameplay. To keep your friends informed of your in-game exploits, Link Mode also contains a notification setting to communicate your achievements, and ‘Applaud’ the landmarks reached by others.

Update: This is actually unrelated to Rayman 3. Instead, Ubisoft is packaging three Rayman/Rabbids games together. Europe will be getting Rabbids Rumble, Rayman Origins, and Rabbids Travel in Time 3D. The compilation boxart is posted above.

Amazon Germany is listing something called the “Rayman 3 Compilation” for 3DS. Apparently, it’s coming to Europe on October 15. Ubisoft isn’t mentioned anywhere in the listing, so it will be interesting to see if anything comes from this.
