Lord of Magna could very well be the localized name of Marvelous’ 3DS title Forbidden Magna. Given that XSEED is a subsidiary of Marvelous, I’d say it’s very likely that the game will be brought over to North America sometime this year.

SEGA has no plans to bring SEGA 3D Reprints Archives to North America, as the company has stated on Twitter.

@KevinLarrabee @NintendoAmerica hard to say, 'no chance' as the future is a strange and unpredictable place. Nothing planned at the moment.
— SEGA (@SEGA) December 30, 2014

It appears us in North America won’t be able to get these classics in a physical form anytime soon. Keep in mind that you can still purchase some of these games on the eShop with digital downloads, and more are on the way in 2015.

One newcomer was almost cut from Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 8 Comments

In this month’s issue of Nintendo Dream, Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai discussed the process of choosing characters for the game’s roster.

Sakurai confirmed that he looked into featuring characters from unreleased new games at the very beginning of development. By the time the project proposal finished – which was May 2012 – “all characters were already decided.” As production continues, the team decides which characters to cut from the proposal given their priority.

Speaking of cut characters, Sakurai revealed that there was one newcomer who was almost cut. We won’t reveal who it was just to be safe with spoilers, though most of you should know who the character is at this point.

Head past the break for the character in question plus the full excerpt from Nintendo Dream.
