Agatsuma Entertainment has made two titles for the 3DS: Code of Princess and Sayonara Umihara Kawase. It doesn’t sound like the company has plans to stop supporting the platform any time soon.

When asked if Agatsuma will be developing more titles for the 3DS, producer Yasuo Nakajima confirmed that is indeed the plan.

Nakajima said:

“Yes, we are planning to release more and more titles with 3DS! Please don’t miss them!”

Just a short while ago, Nintendo published the official Iwata Asks for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. It’s only up in Japanese at the moment, but a number of details from the discussion have already been translated.

For an overview of what was shared during the Iwata Asks, check out the summary below.

-The producer and director are the same as the last three games. The producer was the director on the original.
-About six months after Bowser’s Inside Story the team was throwing out ideas, one of them became the basis for the dream system.
-They considered going with Bowser again for the Dream System, but decided to limit themselves to Mario and Luigi as playable this time so the series didn’t loose its roots.
-The idea to have many Luigis battling and moving in the overworld was a separate one that came before the dream system, but they wanted a system that used the second screen.
-The team hadn’t considered this game would come out in the 30th anniversary of the character and be part of a ‘Year of Luigi’
-To get the DreamTeam Alpha up and running too 1.5 years for Alpha Dream. Game has been in development for over 3 years, since the last one.
-They had so much stuff this time they even went into a Gamma Phase, which Iwata notes as unusual as games typically only have Alpha and Beta. The reason was the switch from 2D to 3D backgrounds and the length of time they spent on the game.
-They chose sprites because it’s part of the Alpha Dream heritage…but also because they had few 3D production resources
-The 3D Mega Luigi model was done by a 3rd party after they realised there was a limit to doing that in 2D.
-A challenge was shifting from drawing sprites for 8-way movement on DS to 16 way movement on 3DS.
-They couldn’t even just flip the sprites for the other direction due to the ‘L’ on Luigi’s hat.
-They banned themselves from flipping the sprites for Mario too, because of Mario’s right arm going up when he jumps.
-They had 5-6 staff working on the character animations for all the characters in the game.
-The requests and suggestions by Nintendo on Alpha Dream were not always accepted and often required meetings, or discussions with the SPD producers. Sometimes both parties got annoyed with each other.
-They talk about including an easy mode. For example, when active, a hint block will appear when you redo a battle after dying, or a Slow Mode will activate if you continually fail a brother attack so you can time your move more easily.
-The Mario & Luigi RPG series is also quite popular with women.
-A Hard Mode unlocks for experienced players after clearing the game. Even the producer has trouble with it, it’s so difficult?He even died during the tutorial.
-The put a lot of extra stuff into Dream Team after hearing fans say they wanted to play more of M&L RPG 3. There’s special requirements for battles, like ‘no damage KO’ which will earn you points, once you have enough points you will earn a reward.
-The producer says long term fans shouldn’t worry – the series is still the same, despite the switch to 3D worlds for Dream Team

Despite the fact that Capcom canned the project, some hardcore fans of the now-unreleased Mega Man Legends 3 have decided to go ahead and make their own version of the game in 8bit, classic Mega Man style. That’s not all though: They’re also getting help from two former Capcom employees that worked on the Legends series, Hideki Ishikawa and Makoto Tomozawa. Ishikawa was the character designer for the series and Tomozawa composed the music. Both will be helping out by contributing box art and music to the game.
