Kenji Yamamoto has worked on a bunch of Metroid games – both 2D and 3D. So hopefully the classic Metroid music can be preserved in this entry!
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes director discusses Coliseum mode (PVP)
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Nintendo director Hiromasa Shikata…
“In the Coliseum, you’re fighting in a limited space. It’s an enclosed environment and items are placed around that you can pick up to increase your chances of winning. In some of the stages, the terrain will transform.”
– Inflict the most damage on your opponent as possible
– Once the time is up, the player that has received the least amount of damage will win that battle
– Collect material to make outfits in Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
– The outfits provide the player with enhanced abilities
– Ex: an enhanced spin attack or bigger bombs
– Shikata said that high-level materials are necessary to make the best gear, but the ones you find in PVP have a distinct advantage
“There are materials that you can only get by competing in the Coliseum. Those material allow you to make clothes that are highly beneficial to competing.”

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes allows players to team up with others locally or online. In the latter case, some people were hoping that Nintendo would be supporting voice chat so that communication would be possible over the Internet.
Sadly, we now have confirmation that there are no plans for such functionality. This was confirmed during a Nintendo Treehouse Live @ E3 segment.
Metroid Prime: FF – 3 major planets, no scanning, will see Metroids and Samus, response to fans, more
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 47 Comments
This information comes from Metroid Prime series producer Kensuke Tanabe…
– Use the New 3DS’ second stick to look around
– Also runs on regular 3DS
– Tanabe feels Blast Ball could serve as a replacement for a traditional tutorial in terms of getting players accustomed to classic Metroid Prime controls
On the game’s premise…
Tanabe: I’m sure once you play the actual game you’ll be able to get a feel of it and a better understanding of what the game is. As you mentioned, when you experience Blast Ball, you can probably feel that the controls are exactly the same as the Metroid Prime series. And on top of the control scheme being the same as the Metroid Prime series, you can also tell that the whole environment is still in the Metroid Prime universe, including the background music as well.
On how it doesn’t seem like a Metroid game, and how it came to be…
Tanabe: Originally, since 10 years ago, I’ve been thinking about the concept for this game. Back then I was working on the three main Prime games…
So Metroid Prime Hunters [on DS] was one title that I wanted to shift the focus a little bit by introducing some new bounty hunters. One thing I wanted to do since back then was focusing on the galactic federation members, focusing on them and having a fight with the space pirates. It’s sort of like a different perspective that I’m taking with this game to create sort of an opportunity to expand, to broaden the universe.

Tanabe again says he wanted Metroid Prime: Federation Force out alongside New 3DS, why Next Level was chosen
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS, News | 4 Comments
This information comes from Metroid Prime series producer Kensuke Tanabe…
“Well, first I would say that the focus on the battle between the Federation Forces and the Space Pirates was an idea I had since I was involved in Metroid Prime 3. It’s similar to with Metroid Prime Hunters, how we relied on NST [Nintendo Software Technology] to do that. Hunters deals with the relationships between the bounty hunters besides Samus in the world of Metroid. We wanted to make something that would show the fight between the Federation and the Space Pirates, but there was no company that would make that for us.”
“In making this game we initially intended it to launch alongside the New Nintendo 3DS, but we were a bit late in doing that. The team who’s schedule was free at the time was Next Level Games, and so we turned to them.”
