The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes features over 30 costumes that can be accessed through normal play. But there’s one that is only obtained by teaming up with friends locally.

When playing local multiplayer (including Download Play), you’ll receive an item called the “proof of friendship”. You’ll get one “proof” per friend’s system. A currently unspecified amount is needed in order to obtain the special costume.

Speaking with Japanese website 4Gamer, Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma and Tri Force Heroes director Hiromasa Shikata explained that the team thought they should make a reward for those people for play locally. Head past the break for our translation of the interview excerpt.

Yo-kai Watch Busters launches in Japan this December for 3DS. There’s no other news yet about what else is new in the game, but you’ll bring you that information when it’s available.

Choice Provisions, Fishing Cactus, and Moragami are teaming up to create Shift DX for 3DS.

Shift 1 and 2 are a pair of classic puzzle-platforming games. The new title for 3DS, Shift DX, will feature levels from both versions along with 100 new ones. That’s on top of a new Shift Challenge gameplay mode, a level editor with shareable QR codes, “Pop-Art” and “Classic” visual modes, and unlockable playable avatars from indie games.

Shift DX is coming “soon” to 3DS physically and digitally. Read on below for a full overview.

Shift DX marks the return of the classic Shift series. The game will feature all of the levels contained in Shift 1 and 2, along with 100 all-new levels designed specially for this release.

Many have tried to emulate the gameplay of Shift since its first release in 2008, but none have managed to capture the frantic, mind-bending nature of the series. Players are tasked with making their way through a series of perplexing rooms, equipped with nothing more than their ability to “shift” the playing field. Is a wall blocking you from progressing? Flip that level upside down and turn that wall into a pit! 

Of course, that’s only the beginning of the challenges players will encounter in Shift DX. The road to victory is paved with mysterious items, complex environmental puzzles, and a variety of deadly traps.

Shift DX is coming soon to Nintendo 3DS. Both digital and physical releases are planned.
