Nintendo is doing something a bit new with the release of Bravely Default in North America. Game owners will find that the packaging comes with an “Also Plays on 2DS” sticker.

Shinichi Kameoka reflects on 2013, talks about what lies ahead this year
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
Brownie Brown founder Shinichi Kameoka left the company, now known as 1-UP Studio, and went on to form “Brownies” in March of last year.
Kameoka described 2013 as a “very blessed year of development and releases” while speaking with 4Gamer last month. Before leaving Brownie Brown, he worked on Fantasy Life Link for Level-5, and then helped create “Shooting Hero” – Brownie’s debut title on iOS.
As for 2014, Kameoka teased that Brownies is working on “a little epic adventure”. While there’s no sort of guarantee that it will wind up on a Nintendo system, we’re certainly hoping the possibility exists given Kameoka’s previous projects.

Zelda: A Link Between Worlds devs on Link’s wall-merging ability
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Famitsu recently caught up with a few members of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds team to gain insight into the project’s development. Director Hiromasa Shikata, lead programmer Shiro Mouri, and lead designer Koji Takahashi spoke about a number of topics, including Link’s wall-merging ability.
Here’s a roundup of what was shared, courtesy of Siliconera’s translations:
Shikata on how Link’s ability to become a painting and part of a wall came to be…
“The thought of having link become a drawing on a flat surface seemed interesting to me; an idea that came out of nowhere. However, I thought that simply having him be part of a flat surface would’ve made it no different than a side-scrolling game, so we thought it would be better to have him turn along the corners of the walls, after further consulting with the [other members of staff].”
