Sakurai doesn’t toy with our heartstrings quite so much today, giving us a look at some fresh 3DS stages:

He continues with a callback to another entry in the Paper Mario series:

Since the stage is paper, it transforms when it folds over and opens up again. This ship is the S.S. Flavion from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Monster Hunter Tri allowed players to mix and match three different parts of the Bowgun weapon. However, this feature was removed in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

Explaining why the team decided to cut the functionality, director Kaname Fujioka told Siliconera:

“In Tri, we experimented with this system where you could mix and match these Bowgun parts. The problem with that was that it got really, really complicated. When it came time to make a new iteration, we looked at that system and thought it would be too difficult to expand upon without making it even more complicated for us to make and users to understand. So, we did make an effort to simplify it a little bit.”

“Now, we don’t want Bowgun users to feel [the system] is too simple or uninteresting, so there is a certain level of customization and methods of making Bowguns to suit your playstyle, with the way you can remove the Limiter.”

Fujioka did at least have an interesting tease to share for fans of the Bowgun:

Warner Bros. Interactive has shared a pair of new LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids infographics that show off the game’s heroes and villains. You can find both below.
