On this week’s episode: Kid Icarus: Uprising, Xenoblade Chronicles and Crush3D.


Hironobu Sakaguchi has repeated what he’s said previously regarding a sequel to The Last Story. Basically, he has no plans for a followup.

If there were to be a sequel though, Sakaguchi believes “that any direction could be possible.” As you’ll read below, Sakaguchi would even be willing to make it “a completely online game”.

“I have no plans for making a sequel at the moment, so I haven’t really thought about any ideas for such a game. If I were to make a sequel, though, I think that any direction could be possible. I feel that it might also be fun for it to be a completely online game!”

Nintendo has published the second (and possibly final) edition of the Iwata Asks: Kid Icarus: Uprising interview. Although it’s a bit shorter than most Iwata Asks, it does contain a few interesting tidbits.

For instance, did you know that Kid Icarus: Uprising was being developed on the PC and Wii? This was because Project Sora didn’t have access to 3DS development kits initially.

You can read about that – and more – in the detailed summary below. Before proceeding, be aware that there are a few small, nonspecific spoilers in the “After the Medusa Battle” section!

Even though you can still pre-order Xenoblade Chronicles at GameStop, the retailer won’t be handing out art books as a bonus from here on out. It seems as though GameStop no longer has any product to provide. According to Nintendo Everything tipster Glenn D, an internal email “said that we as a company have now met the quantity we were given of the artbooks for the pre-orders and we can no longer use this as an incentive.”
