Another round of Hero Bank details have emerged. Perhaps most interesting of all is that Toshihiro Nagoshi is producing. He’s mainly known for his work on the Yakuza series, where he has directed or produced each entry.
Below is the latest on Nagoshi’s new 3DS game Hero Bank:
– Features middle-school-aged kids who raise virtual heroes
– Battles are done for fame and prestige
– Hero is Kaito Gosho
– Kaito’s virtual warriors fight “Hero Battles”
– Hero Battles are extremely popular popular government-sanctioned sport
– Winners can potentially earn tons of cash for future upgrades
– The audience and your sponsors want you to win in flashy, exciting fashion
– The way you fight and emerge victorious can greatly affect the purse you earn at the end of it all
– Do well, and you can upgrade your heroes and even purchase new, more powerful ones which require more money to keep in one piece

Sakurai: Not enough time to bring back every Smash Bros. character
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 2 Comments
Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai was recently asked if all characters who have previously appeared in the series will be back for the Wii U and 3DS games. The short answer is no.
Sakurai explained that the team simply doesn’t have enough time “to fully recreate every single character who’s been in Smash Bros at this point.”
He said:
“I can answer that: no. We don’t have the time to fully recreate every single character who’s been in Smash Bros at this point. Adding new characters is not a simple addition – it’s really multiplication. The amount of work, adding a character is multiplied and becomes bigger and bigger as you go. We can’t because of the amount of work it takes. However, I do believe I understand that each character has its own set of fans out there who really like that character. So we’re not going to cut characters out of the way, we’re going to put in as many characters as we can, we really want to do that, because it’s good for the fans and good for all of us. But in the event that we do have to cut some characters, I’d like to apologise in advance to those fans.”
