Aonuma confirms light/dark world for Zelda’s new 3DS entry, reveals idea behind Link’s ability to turn into a drawing
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma opened up about the new Link to the Past 3DS follow-up while speaking with CNET recently.
Comparing the entry with some of the more recent Zeldas, Aonuma said “it certainly feels different from our [the developer’s] point of view.” Aonuma didn’t elaborate too much beyond this, but noted that the chance to create a brand new Zelda for the 3DS brought about a blank canvas. It was this opportunity that led to the decision of a return to the classic top-down style.
Disney Infinity is only similar to Skylanders in that they both have figurines, according to the game’s producer

“And then of course the Toy Box mode is more Minecraft-meets-LittleBigPlanet. It’s something totally different where we allow kids to use their imagination and take our brands to build whatever they want.”
– Disney Interative executive producer John Vignocchi
This is the first I’m hearing about a “Minecraft-meets-LittleBigPlanet” mode, which actually sounds like it could be extremely neat, especially for younger kids. Regarding the similarities to Skylanders, I believe Vignocchi. It doesn’t seem like the two will be especially comparable in terms of gameplay, though I suppose that doesn’t overturn the fact that Disney only made this game because of Skylanders‘ success. It’s definitely a viable business decision!

Amazon also says Crash City Mayhem is coming on May 14, only $20
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Amazon has backed up GameFly’s Crash City Mayhem release listing, indicating that the game’s arrival in North America is just on the horizon.
We originally discovered the GameFly listing that put Crash City Mayhem’s launch at May 14. There’s now a similar entry on Amazon
. Additionally, Amazon lists a $19.99 price point – fairly cheap for a brand new 3DS game.
Crash City Mayhem should be coming to Europe at some point in the future as well, though publisher Ghostlight has been quiet about its release in recent months.
Amazon lists “LEGO Friends” for 3DS
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Could the 3DS be getting yet another LEGO game? If Amazon is any indication, the answer is yes.
The retailer is listing
something called “LEGO Friends” for the 3DS, which as far we can tell, sounds like something for a younger demographic.
LEGO Friends is set in Heartlake City, where players encounter “friends” and participate in “exciting adventures that build friendships with the girls and allow you to express your individual style and personality as you explore the city.” You’ll be able to shop for outfits and accessories, change your hairstyle, decorate your bedroom, choose a pet, and participate in events such as horse riding camp, dancing, and animal care at the rescue center.
Other details included on Amazon’s product page mention:
- Express Yourself: Pick out your clothing, hairstyle and accessories, decorate your bedroom the way you want, choose your favorite animal as a pet and even pick out accessories for your pet!
- Join your new Friends on unique adventures. Enjoy different activities with each friend as you learn about her unique personality, sets of interest and personal style.
- Explore Heartlake City and decide how you want to spend your time. Hang out with your friends at the cafe, play soccer, attend dance rehearsal, or visit the karate dojo.
- Help your Friends on special adventures like winning a trophy in a horse riding competition and your friendship levels with the girls will grow closer to True Friend status.
- Train your pet to do tricks, groom her, feed her treats, and enter her in a pet show. Each pet has a special skill that they can use to help you on your adventures. You can even trade places with your fun-loving pet so you can play as her.
Amazon lists a tentative September 1 release date and $39.99 price point for LEGO Friends.
Capcom to distribute Mega Man 25th anniversary 3DS case through online store
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Capcom is celebrating Mega Man’s 25th anniversary with a special 3DS case. While it isn’t available just yet, series followers can expect it to hit the company’s online store in the near future. A selection of stock will also be brought along to the San Diego Comic-Con.
The front of the case features an 8-bit Mega Man image. The back, on the other hand, incorporates the series’ 25th anniversary logo.
Capcom plans to offer the case for the standard 3DS model as well as the 3DS XL system.
How DKCR3D came to be, Retro was impressed with Monster’s tech abilities
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
A 3DS version of Donkey Kong Country Returns wasn’t something that Nintendo had always planned. Interestingly, the idea came about when Monster Games conducted an experiment following the completion of the Wii game.
Nintendo’s Hiro Yamada revealed to ONM:
Actually, we hadn’t planned for this from the beginning. We felt that the DKCR graphics matched well with 3DS, but the hardware specs were very different. Because of this, we spoke with Retro who also said that it would be difficult to do a straight port. The truth is, it all started when Monster Games ran it as an experiment after DKCR was completed.
