Square Enix is holding a small sale on the North American eShop to celebrate the series’ 30th anniversary.

On Wii U, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is down from $7.99 to $5.59. The 3DS games Final Fantasy Explorers and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call were previously $39.99, but are now $19.99.

All of these discounts are valid until February 21.

With the amount of hype surrounding Zelda: Breath of the Wild, we should remember that Nintendo makes two kinds of Zelda games. We usually see new 3D titles on home consoles, while portables receive games that are more in line with the 2D entries.

Game Informer decided to ask Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma if Nintendo considered merging the Breath of the Wild team with the group that handled the 3DS Zeldas. Regarding that, Aonuma said:

“The dev pace is not really dependent on how many people are on a team, so combining them would not necessarily expedite the development pace. The 3DS team and the Wii U team have different approaches to game development, so I don’t necessarily want to combine them and have them think together, but rather have each think about what they can bring to Nintendo Switch from their own perspective.”

“The handheld development team will not be phased out because of Nintendo Switch. Switch will allow the users to bring their home console on the go, but this doesn’t mean handheld game development like Nintendo 3DS will be discontinued.”

Nintendo keeps up its advertising efforts for Pokemon Sun/Moon with a pair of new North American commercials. View them both below.

Koei Tecmo held a live stream for Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13 with Power-up Kit earlier today and showed off the latest footage from the game. See the full recording below.
