Yoshizumi on including Tales characters in next Smash Bros., more
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada isn’t going to push Masahiro Sakurai into adding any of his characters on the roster for the next Smash Bros. games. Tales series producer Makoto Yoshizumi seems to be carrying the same mentality, though Yoshito Higuchi would apparently “love” to see a character or two included.
Yoshizumi has said that getting a Tales character into the new Smash Bros. may prove to be difficult since “a character can only appear in a Smash Bros game if he already appeared on a Nintendo console.” This rule limits the selection to a few titles such as Tales of Symphonia, Tales of the Abyss, and Tales of Hearts.
Head past the break for all of Yoshizumi’s comments on Smash Bros.

How Scribblenauts Unlimited 3DS differs from the Wii U game
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Scribblenauts Unlimited will offer very similar experiences on Wii U and 3DS. According to Nintendo Power, both titles contain the same missions, worlds, upgraded dictionary, and open-ended gameplay.
So what sets the two apart? Nintendo Power says Scribblenauts Unlimited 3DS “will include StreetPass functionality that will allow you to see what objects other players have used to overcome the game’s challenges, as well as stereoscopic 3D enhancements for the cinematics.”
There’s one important element missing from the 3DS version though: the new object editor.

3DS XL may have screen scratching issues
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 0 comments
Some European consumers have been experiencing screen scratching issues with the newly launched 3DS XL. The scratches have been appearing in the form of various dots on the top screen, occasionally forming lines.
When the original 3DS hit store shelves, users also complained of screen scratching on the top screen. In some cases, this continued even with with more recent 3DS units.
It’s currently unclear how big of an issue screen scratching could turn out to be for the 3DS XL.
This is definitely a Pushmo ripoff
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Random | 0 comments
There have been lots of Nintendo-related ripoffs in the past. Some are worse than others. But this latest one – boy oh boy, it’s pretty obvious that the developer took inspiration from one of Nintendo’s eShop games.
Above are screenshots from BlockShift. It’s a title that can be downloaded for the Android platform. You can probably tell that it features the same style and gameplay included in Pushmo, the Nintendo-published and Intelligent Systems-made eShop title. Heck, it even supports QR codes!
I guess the only bright spot in all of this is that BlockShift is free, so at least the developer isn’t looking to make a profit from the game…

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The latest Shin Megami Tensei IV teaser site update offered a tiny bit of commentary from Eiji Ishida. Ishida served as the art director for Nocturne, Strange Journey and appears to be fulfilling that role once again for the fourth entry.
In his message, Ishida said that Atlus has hit its stride with Tensei IV’s development and the team is hoping to improve the 3D depth of the world. Fans can also count on the world being improved 200% in terms of the feeling of surviving and wandering in a chaotic world.
