Mario Golf: World Tour DLC not locked away on the cartridge
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Day-one DLC has never been particularly well-received, in part because some publishers end up including the content in question in the final retail product. Consumers feel that if you’re going to do this, they shouldn’t have to fork over extra cash for DLC simply locked away on the disc/cartridge.
At least in the case of Mario Golf: World Tour, the game’s DLC seems to be offered through separate downloads. The game’s packs are fairly large in size which indicates that they weren’t included in the cartridge and aren’t simply “unlocked” when making a purchase.
Check out the European download sizes for Mario Golf: World Tour’s DLC packs below:
Three-Pack Set / Season Pass — 489 blocks
Mushroom Pack — 447 blocks
Free-Trial Course Pack — 138 blocks

Silicon Studio president on Bravely Default’s action RPG origins, prototype
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Bravely Default wasn’t always the straight-up JRPG that we know of today. Originally, developer Silicon Studio tossed around the idea of making it an action RPG.
President Takehiro Terada told Siliconera:
“We developed the first version with action combat, but overall we felt it was not the best form for the game so we went to turn based.”
“The city part was the same, the battle system was action based.”
Silicon Studio had created a prototype in which players would walk around a city, and when a monster was touched, an action-based battle would ensue. It only featured one playable character who could attack with a weapon and use a number of spells. No job system was included at this point.
Speaking about the prototype, Terada added:
