Lost Heroes 3DS/PSP differences
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
A few weeks ago, Namco Bandai announced that the once 3DS-exclusive Lost Heroes would be heading to the PSP as well. The company noted that the 3DS version will feature a download for Famicom’s SD Hero Soukessen while the PSP edition will offer five custom themes and bonus data.
Famitsu detailed a couple of extra differences in its latest issue.
StreetPass will be supported on the 3DS, which offers special dungeons with rare items in the form of “random cubes”. The PSP version sports custom soundtracks including the option to set music for Hero Skills.
The magazine also revealed three new heroes. Kamen Rider Den-O, Z Gundam, and Ultraman Taro will be included.
Lost Heroes launches in Japan on September 6.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Technically, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy could have landed on a number of different platforms. In the end, though, indieszero and Square Enix settled on the 3DS.
Producer Ichiro Hazama recently commented on the decision to create the game for Nintendo’s portable system in an interview with IGN. For the most part, Hazama compared the 3DS hardware to the DS, which features superior “capacity” and “a great sound system”.
Hazama said:
“Of course, both of the aspects that you mentioned are part of the key elements. But also, compared to the DS, it has a much greater capacity, and it has a great sound system. To combine the sound and the visuals, we thought that this would be a great platform to work on.”

Sakurai on Kid Icarus controls, cut content, resurrecting old characters in Smash Bros., more
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Even though it was released three months ago, we’re still thinking about Kid Icarus: Uprising. There’s still a lot to discuss. Some players still stand by their opinion that the controls weren’t easy to manage, while others are pleased with the title overall and would like to see a sequel.
Director Masahiro Sakurai has previously said that he has no interest in making a followup to Uprising and this is something that he echoed in a new interview. Sakurai also touched on those aforementioned controls once more, content that was left on the cutting room floor, and how he looks to revive old Nintendo characters through Smash Bros.
We’ve compiled the full commentary from Sakurai below.

Ubisoft made the surprising announcement at this year’s E3 that Killer Freaks from Out Space had been transformed into the more realistic survival shooter, ZombiU.
Although the move was unexpected, it was well-received. ZombiU was considered by many to be one of the best Wii U games at the expo.
But what prompted the change?

Unchained Blades heading to the eShop “later in 2012”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Unchained Blades was scheduled to arrive digitally on the 3DS and PSP this summer, but thus far only the PSP version has been given a final release date. XSEED said on Twitter today that the game will hit Sony’s handheld next Tuesday with the 3DS version coming “later in 2012”.
We’re not exactly sure what this means for the eShop release. Maybe Nintendo hasn’t told XSEED when they’ll put the game on the store. Maybe XSEED is still working on the 3DS version. For now, it’s unknown if the eShop edition will still be available this summer. The only tidbit we have is that it’ll likely cost around $29.99, as this is the price for the PSN version.
