The Great Ace Attorney team on development, thought about starting in London, music
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
In the latest issue of Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream, The Great Ace Attorney director Shu Takumi and composer Yasumasa Kitagawa were interviewed by the magazine.
One of Nintendo Dream’s questions asks Takumi about what left the greatest impression on him during development. Takumi explains that because he was creating a whole new world, it took more time that he anticipated to create scenarios. He was actually in a hospital for roughly a month while The Great Ace Attorney was being made.
“It was just when we had to decide on a logo in order to announce The Great Ace Attorney, so I checked designs in the hospital,” he said. “Seeing the logo reminds me a bit of the scent in a hospital room (laughs).”

Square Enix prepared a second trailer for Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS. You can watch it if you’re in Japan. If you’re not, you’ll need to enter this URL on this page.
Square Enix naturally had to make things difficult. They’ve limited the trailer’s availability to those who reside in Japan. If you use that proxy link though, everything should be okay!

Capcom teases Monster Hunter X, Monster Hunter Diary bonuses for MH4U owners
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 5 Comments
Capcom will be giving those who own Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate in Japan a little “something” as a bonus in Monster Hunter X. That’s according to series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, who shared the information with Famitsu.
There’s also something planned for Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airou Village DX. By having save data on your 3DS, you’ll be given something that’s “a little better than from 4 Ultimate,” but only a little.
Capcom isn’t sharing details beyond this at present. These bonuses will be just enough for one to think “that would be nice to have”.
