In today’s screenshot we’re given a look at another, probably lesser known character in the Nintendo universe to make an appearance in Super Smash Bros. The Japanese only Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru will be getting a cameo in the upcoming 3DS version of Smash:


The Sablé Prince will also appear in regular trophy form too:

There was a report earlier this year that Spike Chunsoft was looking for a partner to bring Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind to the west. ShonenGameZ writes that Bandai Namco was actually pitched this very idea, but the deal was ultimately dropped. What happened between the two sides is unknown.

ShonenGameZ spoke with Bandai Namco about Project X Zone’s overseas sales as well. The site reports, “they told me that it sold ten times better than what they expected.” Bandai Namco also said they would love to see a sequel.

The latest issue of Famitsu has a full overview of Little Mac and Rosalina’s moves in the new Smash Bros. titles for Wii U/3DS. You can find a complete translation below.

NeoGAF’s “Masked Man” has translated one of Masahiro Sakurai’s older Famitsu columns in which he discusses Pac-Man’s inclusion in the new Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. He talks about how Miyamoto originally approached him with the idea when developing Brawl, Pac-Man’s reveal at E3, the character’s design, and much more.

You’ll find the full translation below:
