Baten Kaitos III cancelled

Yasuyuki Honne, the director at Monolith Soft for the Baten Kaitos series, has again commented on Baten Kaitos III – which never released. He also once again confirmed that there were plans for a title on DS that was scrapped as well.

According to Honne, Baten Kaitos III was targeted for next-gen platforms – so if anything, it would have been on Wii and not GameCube. Unfortunately, things weren’t meant to be “due to Bandai Namco’s restructuring and budget review, as well as tri-Crescendo’s financial struggles”. Honne added that “Baten Kaitos is a complicated series with lots of circumstances involved.”

Mortal Kombat 1 DLC characters

Amazon Italy put up a new listing for Mortal Kombat 1 today that appears to leak several unannounced characters for the game that are planned as DLC.

The fighting title, which was officially revealed this week, will be getting a bunch of additional characters as part of Kombat Pack 1. News about this has not been made known officially.

We have more on this after the break. Keep that in mind before proceeding if you’re looking to maintain the surprise.

Zelda Link relationship

Zelda voice actress Patricia Summersett has weighed in on the connection between Link and her character, stating in a recent interview that she believes the two “are in a relationship”.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has its own story for Link and Zelda that continues in Tears of the Kingdom. In the sequel, there’s even one element further hinting at their connection beyond just friendship that we won’t mention here just to be cautious for those that are especially sensitive to spoilers.

Wavetale physical

Wavetale, which initially came to Switch as an eShop download, is now set to receive the physical treatment. Super Rare Games is in charge of production.

4,000 copies will be printed, split between 2,000 standard editions and 2,000 steelbook editions. The standard release comes with all current content on its cart, a full-color manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards while. The steelbook edition includes everything we just mentioned plus the steelbook case, a slipcover and a postcard.

We have a big update on the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 figma for Mio, as Good Smile today provided a final release date, photos, and pre-orders.

Mio, who is is one of the main characters of the Switch RPG, first had her own figure revealed last August. Then in February, an actual prototype was shown off – just without color. Now the design has been completely finalized and Good Smile is ramping up for production.

Smash Bros online Masahiro Sakurai

In a new video posted today, Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai shared more of his thoughts on why he feels the series isn’t the best fit with online play.

Sakurai was addressing the topic while speaking about the creation of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which was the first entry in the franchise to support the feature. We previously heard him talking about this a bit in a column a couple of years ago.
