GameStop lists amiibo-less version of Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash for $30
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash will come in two versions. Consumers will be able to purchase the standalone game, or a different version that contains an amiibo.
We previously heard that the Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash amiibo bundle is looking like a $50 package. Meanwhile, GameStop is listing the standard version for $30. I guess that means Nintendo feels that the Chibi-Robo amiibo is worth $20!

Zelda: Tri Force Heroes – origins, letting Link wear a dress, lots of outfits, co-op, and communication
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
Polygon has posted a new interview with The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes director Hiromosa Shikata. Shikata addressed the project’s origins, shared further insight into Link being able to wear a dress, and commented on the co-op and communication elements.
Continue on below for a breakdown of Polygon’s piece. You can check out the site’s full article here.
On the game’s origins…
“I remember talking about it during the development of A Link Between Worlds. [We] had wanted to do more multiplayer Zelda … and in [Spirit Tracks] there’s a portion where you control the Phantoms. That element really intrigued me and brought out the idea that I wanted to try multiplayer as well.
“We really got started on it during development of A Link Between Worlds, that feeling of wanting to explore more multiplayer. It was sort of revitalized and came out of hibernation for me while I was working on A Link Between Worlds.”
– Shikata says outfits also reflect a sense of accomplishment
– A player’s available wardrobe will reflect their progress in the game
– Players craft their outfits from materials they find by clearing dungeons, turning Triforce Heroes into something of a loot-based grind
