Nintendo and Wil Wheaton (Abe Lincoln voice actor in the game) are about to kick off a live stream for Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. It should begin at 5:30 PM ET / 2:30 PM PT, or about 12 minutes. We’ve posted the stream after the break due to auto-play.

Nobuo Uematsu was interested in working on Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 9 Comments

Nobuo Uematsu worked on Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and ended up creating the game’s orchestral theme. As for how his participation with Brawl’s development came about, Uematsu told Game Informer:

“I have a feeling that I got the job offer from Mr. Sakurai while we were drinking. He would let me selfishly do whatever I wanted, whether it be using an orchestra or using opera singers.”

It appears that Uematsu would have been interested in returning for the new Smash Bros. games on Wii U/3DS, but wasn’t asked to be brought back.

Uematsu said:

“Why didn’t I participate in the new Smash Brothers!? Ask Mr. Sakurai! I wanted to work on it! All joking aside, it’s just that, since there are many video game musicians representing Japan who are already participating, there’s no need for me.”

Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Miiverse interview with the “Happy Mask Salesman”

Another “Miiting” just wrapped up on Miiverse a short while ago. In the latest discussion, Nintendo’s MariChan chatted with the Happy Mask Salesman from Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D. The Happy Mask Salesman doesn’t actually exist of course (except in the game… and in our hearts!), but the interview nonetheless holds some interesting nuggets.

We’re posting the “Miiting” in full below. It’s rather lengthy!
