There was lots of Nintendo news this week, including the announcements of Monster Hunter Stories and Project X Zone 2. Brian and Daan talk about both of these games, along with the new Mario Kart 8 DLC tracks, Smash Bros., and more!

Bandai Namco released the boxart for Super Run for Money: Assemble! The Strongest Runaways. Take a look at it above.

Update: Fixed first names for Morizumi and Ishitani.


Bandai Namco officially unveiled Project X Zone 2 last week. After the announcement, Famitsu caught up with a few of the game’s developers for an interview. The magazine spoke with Kensuke Tsukanaka (producer, Bandai Namco), Souichiro Morizumi (Monolith Soft, development director), and Koji Ishitani (development producer, Monolith Soft).

Famitsu starts by asking when development on Project X Zone 2 kicked off. According to Morizumi, the team was “considering the project and playing new entries of featured games” after Project X Zone’s Japanese launch. Work truly began after the team received feedback from the western release in 2013.

Tsukanaka also said, “The release had very good reputation in North America and Europe. So given the situation both domestically and overseas, we started to create the sequel.”

Famitsu published a first review of Bravely Second in the magazine’s latest issue. As we mentioned a few days back, the game received a total of 36 / 40, with individual scores of 9, 9, 9, and 9 from four different reviewers.

We now have a complete translation of the verdicts from Famitsu’s review. For the full transcript, head past the break.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Highlights include Bravely Second at #2, and Fire Emblem If has now entered the top five.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between April 2 and April 8.

Update: It’s now coming into question whether banned users are being blocked due to using flashcards. I can’t confirm it either way at the moment, but you should definitely be cautious in any case. This entire situation is one big mess!


Earlier today, rumors surfaced about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess possibly coming to the 3DS. That speculation came about after images surfaced which showed people meeting someone in the StreetPass Mii Plaza who had supposedly been playing the “remake” – see below.

We didn’t post about the rumor as we had a pretty strong feeling that it was fake. Sure enough, it was. One 3DS owner managed to hack his system, which allows for any image/text he wants to appear as his recently-played game.

This wouldn’t be a problem for other 3DS users in most circumstances. However, many folks encountered the person with the hacked system at the Zelda Symphony Concert in Germany today. A ton of people attended the event, and many fans brought along their 3DS units in hopes of receiving some StreetPass hits. Unfortunately, you may have a fairly big problem on your hands if you happened to have conducted StreetPass with the hacked system.

We’re hearing reports that every user who received that person’s Mii and attempts to load the Twilight Princess 3D eShop page (which doesn’t exist of course) is being blocked from online services. This could affect quite a number of European 3DS owners who attended the Zelda concert earlier in the day. I’d imagine affected users would need to contact Nintendo in hopes of being unbanned. If you did come in contact with the Mii, be sure to delete it from the StreetPass Mii Plaza!

Thanks to Robin for the tip.
