My last post was about this game. Why didn’t I just put the two of them together…? Ah well. Here’s a bunch of quotes from the guy behind the KH games, Tetsuya Nomura!

Tetsuya Nomura on the story, and the significance of “sleep” and “dreams”:

“It’s a bit complex, but basically there are worlds that fell into darkness besides the ones Sora returned to normal in the first Kingdom Hearts — some of the princesses’ worlds, Dumbo’s world, and so on. The original story had all these worlds get fixed up in KH1’s ending, but not all of them completely returned to normal, instead lying in stasis between light and dark. Since the worlds themselves are asleep, the game is set in the dreams these worlds are having. It’s Sora and Riku’s job to wake these worlds up, return them to normal, and gain their Keyblade Master certification.”

Got some new details on the marvelous-looking new Kingdom Hearts game, including some TWEWY talk, and possible multiplayer modes…

– All the Disney worlds appearing will be new, and there will be new areas in existing worlds.
– This time Traverse Town is constructed around the reason that Neku and co. have come. He has been separated from his original partner Shiki.
– Will go into more detail about Shiki and the others in a follow up report.
– Concerning a sequel to The World Ends With You, there may be something going on. (Already touched upon in the other thread) (Note from Austin: There is definitely something going on)
– The opening of this title will be in Xehanort’s point of view. Additionally, there will be a surprise unlike anything seen before in the last scene.
– The leveling up of the Dream Eaters is directly related to the growth of Sora and Riku. So far we’ve only seen 2 at a time in battle, but if you give it your all you’ll be able collect all the types.
– Nomura isn’t quite sure off the top of his head, but there are dozens of Dream Eater types.
– There will be multiplayer functions; will explain more in a follow up report.
– KH3D is set to release Spring 2012 in Japan.
– It’s currently about 60% to 70% complete.

I’ll be (hopefully) getting my copy of Star Fox 64 3D later this week, but like many of you, I was sad when Nintendo announced that there would be no online play available for the game. I was fantasizing about doing Game Nights using the game, but as it turns out, that dream is going to have to stay a dream- at least until the next Star Fox comes out for 3DS. (Heh..)

Nintendo has finally divulged why they didn’t put online play into the game, and similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, it’s just kind of another “What…” answer:

“Personally, I play a lot of online FPS games. This leads me to think that just making multiplayer parts of existing games playable online isn’t enough to create a satisfying experience for users. The popular online games work in lots of things, so they play well online – and if we wanted to satisfy everyone who bought the game, the costs required for including online support would be vast. For this project what we needed to do was use Star Fox to provide users with a game that shows the appeal of Nintendo 3DS as quickly as possible. We put a lot of effort into the graphics, and if we had included online support then we couldn’t have reached this level in the time allowed.” – Nintendo’s Yusuke Amano

Well… I guess that makes sense. They’re basically admitting that they needed to get this game out as soon as possible to demonstrate the 3DS to new adopters and push sales, which is totally understandable. At least they didn’t give us some weird reason like Miyamoto did with New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

“This game wasn’t meant to have online, so it doesn’t.”

There’s one thing we know for sure about Bravely Default: Flying Fairy – it’s a beautiful game. And based on what we’ve seen from the AR demo and previews thus far, this game should be on any 3DS owner’s radar. Let’s just hope Square Enix plans on localizing the title!
