Sakurai planning some change for next Smash Bros., Wii U/3DS dual support will be key
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Masahiro Sakurai will be making some changes for the next Smash Bros. games, and the link between the 3DS and Wii U titles will be key. He appears to realize that they cannot simply add in more content – such as new characters and items – and expect to ship the product without introducing new elements.
Sakurai told IGN:
“As you noted, there is a certain dead end we come to if we just expand the volume of the game. I intend to change direction a little as we go. The key to that’s going to be its dual support for 3DS/Wii U.”
Sakurai expanded on his comments a bit more, and stressed that the Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS connection will be used “as the game’s central axis”.
He said:
“I’m really just getting started on this so it’s going to take time, but I’ll come up with something that uses that link as the game’s central axis, so I hope you’re looking forward to it.”

Nintendo rejected Inchworm Animation maker as a 3DS developer
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News | 1 Comment
Flat Black Films put out their first Nintendo title last year. The studio released Inchworm Animation on DSiWare, and it was quite good.
Strangely, Flat Black Films has been rejected as a 3DS developer even though they are approved to make DSiWare titles.
Company founder Bob Sabiston shared this information in a new interview. He was explaining why Inchworm Animation was made for the DSi rather than the 3DS before going on to say that Nintendo rejected the studio as a 3DS developer. This is preventing them from exploring a new version of Inchworm Animation on the eShop.
According to Sabiston:
“Well, like I said, this all started six years ago — there wasn’t even a DSi then! By the time the 3DS came out, I was too far along w/ the DSi version to stop.
“I would love to put it on the 3DS. I actually developed a much larger version of the game, with a timeline, hierarchical layers and keyframe controls — things that would make animating w/ the 3D layers simpler.
“Sadly, though, Nintendo actually rejected us as a 3DS developer. I don’t know if our organization isn’t big enough, or if I just caused them too many headaches, or what. They told me they couldn’t even tell me the reason we were rejected. Unless they change their mind, this will probably be the only version.”
Nintendo Power review scores – May 2012
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Just two games were reviewed by Nintendo Power this month. The magazine provided the first verdicts for both Mario Tennis Open and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D.
Both scores are a bit on the disappointing-side. Mario Tennis Open earned a 7.0 while RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D received a 5.5. We’ll try to track down some details about both of the reviews and get them to you soon.
Thanks to SuperPhillip for the tip.
