Last month’s issue of Nintendo Dream contains an interview centered around The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes. The Japanese magazine spoke with director Hiromasa Shikata, designer Keisuke Umeda, and producer Eiji Aonuma. There were some interesting comments shared, not to mention valuable concept art for Zelda fans.

Costumes are naturally a big part of Tri Force Heroes. During the interview, Umeda talked about what elements were taken into consideration when designing these for Link:

One piece of concept art included in the interview is of the Cheer Outfit. Here’s a look at that:

Famitsu has another update on Shin Megami Tensei IV Final in its latest issue. Three new partner characters are introduced – Hallelujah, Toki, and Gaston – and there’s also information about collecting demons.

Hallelujah is voiced by Masuda Toshiki. He’s 15 years old, and is part of the Ashura Assembly along with his elder brother. By his brother’s orders, he keeps an eye on the player’s party, but he’s rather timid and doesn’t like standing out. His demon of choice is Cironnup, which is Ainu for Fox, a divine beast which is said to bring calamity to humans.

We know that Mega Man Legacy Collection’s 3DS version will have content not included in the previously-released versions in the form of extra challenges. That isn’t all, however. It seems that the 3DS edition also has artwork not featured on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, such as U.S. Mega Man boxes.
