The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D will feature a revamped Bomber’s Notebook, series producer Eiji Aonuma has revealed.

For those who haven’t experienced the original, the book can be used to keep track of different quests. Players can obtain it fairly early on.

Aonuma shared the news about improving the Bomber’s Notebook in this month’s issue of GamesMaster. As it turns out, it was Shigeru Miyamoto who suggested that the book be redone so that players would be more aware of the “hidden events” included in the game.

Aonuma stated:

We were told by Mr. Miyamoto that he felt there were a lot of users who finished the original without even noticing all the hidden events scattered around the town. He said that he wanted us to make sure users were more aware of them this time around.

GungHo Online Entertainment made a surprising announcement this week: Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition for 3DS. Following the reveal, Japanese outlet 4Gamer caught up with a couple of the game’s developers for a brief interview.

First, Daisuke Yamamoto and Kazuki Morishita shared the following when asked when GungHo started planning a collaboration with Super Mario Bros.:

Morishita: We contacted Nintendo with New Year’s 2014 greetings as we reported that Puzzle & Dragons Z had sold one million copies. We said, “we’d like to do more Puzzle & Dragons spin-offs” to president Iwata and Mr. Miyamoto. From there on, we tried to create the Mario version in-house at GungHo as we thought, “wouldn’t it be better to show Nintendo?” Then discussions with Nintendo progressed again.

Yamamoto: We showed a prototype to Nintendo several months after contacting them for the first time.

Morishita: From there, we rebuilt the game anew by combining the action of Puzzle & Dragons and the world and stages of Super Mario Bros.

Have you wondered who the composer is behind Splatoon’s music? It’s none other than Toru Minegishi, according to the 245th of Nintendo Dream.

Minegishi is a well-known composer at Nintendo having spent over 15 years at the company. He has worked on Zelda games (Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and the DS games), Animal Crossing, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D World, and more.

Minegishi has typically worked with other composers. Splatoon might be the first game where he is the only person responsible for the soundtrack.

Update: It does indeed look like Fry’s is selling the Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition, but you’ll probably need to head to your local store at or around launch:

Fry’s has stated on its Twitter account that it will not be taking pre-orders for The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition. Whether or not the retailer intends to sell any stock at all once the game is released is unclear.

Fry’s Twitter post states:

Nintendo originally said that Amazon, GameStop, and Fry’s would be the exclusive retailers selling the Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition. However, Best Buy ended up opening pre-orders for a short time a few days ago. Perhaps Nintendo mixed up Fry’s with Best Buy?

Thanks to James for the tip.

It looks like Nintendo actually did a small reprint of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn last year. A copyright date of 2014 has been spotted on some boxes for the game.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn has ended up as one of the rarer Wii games. Despite the reprint, it still fetches a high price.
