Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
We have one final translation from Nintendo Dream‘s interview with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma… and it’s a big one. The latest excerpt is entirely about Majora’s Mask, and its creation. Aonuma reflects on the work he did for the game, speaks about the creation of Romani Ranch, Anju and Kafei, Pamela, and much more.
Head past the break for our full translation. I’d say it’s very much worth a read if you’re curious about Majora’s Mask’s various elements!

Mario has plenty of transformations in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The latest issue of Famitsu has another update on Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition. We primarily get new information about various transformations Mario can undergo, but a few other tidbits were covered by the magazine as well.
Let’s talk about those random pieces of information first. Famitsu first mentions that a skill can be used after a certain number of turns have passed. This number can be reduced by leveling up the skill in a Toad House. When a skill is activated, a cut-in is shown.
Players will be able to enter a lottery inside a Toad House. They choose one question block out of three, and may obtain items like a 1UP mushroom (used for battle continues) or transformation items. The lottery can be entered by using coins that are obtained by clearing courses.
Famitsu provides a couple of additional tidbits as well. First, it is possible to gain 1UPs by stacking up combos in battle. The magazine also notes that the game features airship courses.
That’s not all from Famitsu! Head past the break for a comprehensive rundown of transformations – Boo Mario (and Luigi), Penguin Mario, and more.

Project Ukulele image holds a hidden character
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Playtonic Games shared the first couple of images from Project Ukulele yesterday. Soon after they were posted online, fans picked them apart and found at least one hidden character.
Can you see the character in the bottom left corner of the below shot?
Here’s another look that should help:
There’s also an eye right above the hidden character. It’s thought that it belongs to another character in Project Ukulele. You can’t see too much though!
