It wasn’t mentioned in yesterday’s Nintendo Download report, but Cut the Rope is now available on the 3DS eShop. The game can be purchased for $9.99. Seems rather pricey given how much it costs on iOS, but the price may be worth it for some!

“I just found out about the news regarding the death of former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi. He created the Famicom, and the game business in Japan, and made it into a recognized part of the game industry around the world. And he also loved Pokémon. Mr. Yamauchi, today we surpassed one million preorders for XY… I pray from the bottom of my heart for your happiness in the next world.”

– Pokémon director Junichi Masuda

We’ll keep you posted. Hopefully they can share more on it soon!


Shigeru Miyamoto sounded off on a number of topics in the latest issue of Official Nintendo Magazine, including one of Nintendo’s most important developers: Retro Studios.

Miyamoto first spoke generally about the company, noting that the team is “very capable” and has the ability to “design a lot of different types of games”. He now feels that Retro “has really come to a point at which it’s possible for it to have multiple lines running at the same time and having different projects in development.”

Miyamoto’s comments in full, as transcribed by Nintendo Insider:


Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call doesn’t just allow for touchscreen-based controls. Players will have a second option at their disposal: physical controls.

All of Curtain Call’s menus and game modes are playable with buttons. When going through a song in Battle Music Stages and Event Music Stages, you’ll use the A or B buttons. In Field Music Stages, the Circle Pad must be moved slightly up and down to match what’s appearing on screen. The d-pad is required when directional cues appear.

The Inner World hasn’t been confirmed for Wii U, but a representative from Headup Games has said that the title “would be a great fit” on the system.

BeefJack was told the following when asked whether The Inner World could head to the Wii U in the future:

“You’re right, Inner World would be a great fit for Nintendo’s Wii U, it even would look good in a boxed version there.”

“We are evaluating further platforms at the moment and then [we’ll] decide whether to port The Inner World to a console or not.”

Headup is currently busy finishing up the iOS version of The Inner World. Until that’s done, the team can’t truly begin to consider other versions.
