Iizuka on the possibility of future Sonic games on Nintendo systems
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Sonic has returned to Nintendo consoles after Sonic Generations skipped the Wii. Even better for the Big N, Sonic Lost World’s main game is only available on Wii U.
So what does the future hold for Sonic on Nintendo’s home systems? SEGA’s Takashi Iizuka won’t make any commitments, but told Nintendo Life, “we are willing to have these fans to enjoy our titles in the future too.”
“Wii wasn’t a HD console so we weren’t able to release Sonic Generations. But even though, we knew that there are many platform action game fans in Nintendo console, so we are willing to have these fans to enjoy our titles in the future too.”
As far as the 3DS is concerned, it sounds like Iizuka has interest in extending SEGA’s Sonic support going forward, though he won’t “confirm the future.”
“We can’t confirm the future, but personally, I feel 3DS is a best console for kids to enjoy a game, and to those consumers, we hope to deliver Sonic titles in the future too.”

Strange cutscene found in Pokemon X/Y
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 8 Comments
A strange scene has been discovered in Pokemon X/Y. Step inside a building in Luminose City (the one with a dojo), enter the elevator, and leave on the second floor.
What happens next is… odd. A cutscene will automatically be shown – the lights flicker and a girl will appear behind you before stating “… you are not the one…” and floating away.
The same girl can be found on the fourth floor of Hotel Richissime. If you try to speak with her, she’ll say, “Don’t talk to me…. if you do, I can’t hear the elevator…”
So what could this be about?

GAME won’t be offering Zelda: A Link Between Worlds treasure chest with pre-orders
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Nintendo UK made a big deal out of its new pre-order bonus – the musical treasure chest – for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. In fact, series producer Eiji Aonuma and Nintendo president Satoru Iwata went out of their way to promote the item in a special Vine clip.
But here’s the thing – we’re now hearing GAME won’t be offering the item, even though Nintendo named it as the retailer you could obtain the treasure chest from.
Tweets published by GAME yesterday read:
(1/3) You may have seen last night @NintendoUK tweeted about a pre-order chest item for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

(2/3) We have no pre-order bonus to announce but BUT you can be sure we're working with Din, Nayru & Farore to bring you something special…

(3/3) Until then, feast your eyes on this special LoZ: A Link Between Worlds #3DSXL available to pre-order tomorrow! http://t.co/HzouDGpW80

It’s unclear how the pre-order item will be handled at present. Perhaps it’ll shift to another retailer?
