Posted on 10 years ago by Vincent Ward in 3DS, 3DS eShop, General Gaming, News | 1 Comment
SEGA has no plans to bring SEGA 3D Reprints Archives to North America, as the company has stated on Twitter.
@KevinLarrabee @NintendoAmerica hard to say, 'no chance' as the future is a strange and unpredictable place. Nothing planned at the moment.
— SEGA (@SEGA) December 30, 2014
It appears us in North America won’t be able to get these classics in a physical form anytime soon. Keep in mind that you can still purchase some of these games on the eShop with digital downloads, and more are on the way in 2015.

One newcomer was almost cut from Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 8 Comments
In this month’s issue of Nintendo Dream, Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai discussed the process of choosing characters for the game’s roster.
Sakurai confirmed that he looked into featuring characters from unreleased new games at the very beginning of development. By the time the project proposal finished – which was May 2012 – “all characters were already decided.” As production continues, the team decides which characters to cut from the proposal given their priority.
Speaking of cut characters, Sakurai revealed that there was one newcomer who was almost cut. We won’t reveal who it was just to be safe with spoilers, though most of you should know who the character is at this point.
Head past the break for the character in question plus the full excerpt from Nintendo Dream.
Sakurai explains why Bandai Namco was brought in for Smash Bros. development
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS marks the first time that Bandai Namco worked on new entries in Nintendo’s well-known series.

And since Bandai Namco has the capability to create “a large-scale fighting-game, there was only this one company.” Sakurai feels that it would have been a difficult challenge for other developers to attempt.
Here are Sakurai’s full words:
