Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Masahiro Sakurai delivered a speech at this year’s CEDEC developers conference today. The session, called “Why Do You Make Games?”, lacked Smash Bros. news for the most part. Although, Sakurai did share one small nugget.
Famitsu transcribed the following quote from Sakurai:
“It’s fun making new skills for new characters.”
Well then… Geno confirmed for the next Smash Bros,! Ah, just kidding.

It sadly doesn’t come in any special packaging… but at least it matches the gold Skyward Sword Wiimote!
Square Enix teasing something related to The World Ends with You
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
It’s been over five years since The World Ends with You made its debut. However, some of the game’s characters made cameo appearances in Kingdom Hearts 3D, and Tetuya Nomura has expressed interest in returning to the IP on multiple occasions.
Is Square Enix finally returning to The World Ends with You? Quite possibly.
Square Enix has opened a new teaser site, and all indications are that it’s related to the series. First, it uses the same text from The World Ends with You. Second, Nomura and Gen Kobayashi are listed as character designers – both worked on the original game.
Now, there is some speculation that this could be a mobile project… whatever it is. That would certainly be disappointing. Still, nothing is confirmed for now, so we can dream a little!
We’ll be forced to wait a little less than a week before Square Enix officially pulls back the curtain on this mystery. Let’s pray this is a new entry for the 3DS or something.

n-Space interview tidbits: ‘Winter’ isn’t totally dead, ‘Battlefront: Elite Squadron’ was originally ‘Battlefront 3 – DS’, more

n-Space’s first ever game on PS1, ‘TigerShark’!
All of this information comes from my interview with n-Space, but I figured I’d post it in a more agreeable form for news outlets and people who have neither the time nor interest to indulge my silly interview writing. If you DO have the time or interest to read my silly interview writing, you can find the full article here.
– Originally wanted to include DLC in ‘Heroes of Ruin’, but were unable to in the end.
– An announcement about something (no word on what) to come via their Facebook page “sooner rather than later”.
– A typical game development team squashes 5,000-50,000 bugs on a single project.
– ‘Winter’ (old Wii survival horror game, never released) isn’t necessarily dead. There’s always interest in the game from within the dev team.
– ‘Star Wars: Battlefront – Elite Squadron’ was originally just going to be ‘Star Wars: Battlefront 3 DS’, but when ‘Battlefront 3’ ran into development issues they went through a rebranding.
