Smash Bros. series director Masahiro Sakurai sure seems to be revealing a lot of 3DS exclusive stages lately. Today’s scheduled update to the Super Smash Bros. Director’s Room on Miiverse showed off a brand new arena – Lumiose City from Pokémon X/Y. It might not have the massive skyscrapers and randomly appearing Pokémon from Saffron City, but it sure beats another Pokémon Stadium. Sakurai had this to say about the new addition:

The Prism Tower rises above Lumiose City. Up until a few seconds ago, the fighters were brawling on top of that tower. No, really.

Siliconera recently spoke with a couple of staffers at Atlus to discuss Conception II’s localization, including what made the game stand out for as a title for the company to localize.

Mike Meeker, an editor on the game, told the site:

The slick design really stood out. We felt that it shared similar flashy looks and UI of the later entries in the Persona series, and the sort of techno-futuristic-yet-fantasy aesthetic of it all has an interesting appeal.

Elsewhere in the interview, Meeker and and translator Mai Namba commented on what changes Atlus had to make from the Japanese version:
