Today Sakurai talks a little bit more about The Orbital Gate, which appeared in yesterday’s screenshot:

…By the way, this model is actually a trophy. Diorama style. The Orbital Gate Assault stage actually took a whole year to complete.

Square Enix has shared its lineup for this year’s Jump Festa. Dragon Quest Heroes, Final Fantasy Explorers, Final Fantasy Type-0, and Bravely Second will be playable while Final Fantasy XV will be present in video form.

Square Enix will hold a live stream for Bravely Second and Dragon Quest X on December 20. On December 21, there will be stage events for Final Fantasy Explorers, Dragon Quest Heroes, and Dragon Quest X.

You can find Square Enix’s Jump Festa teaser page here.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U contains something known as the “World Status” mode. By hitting up this mode, you’ll see a ticker featuring random statistics collected by players.

Kotaku grabbed the following stats below from this morning:

2,297,299,984 hours of play time – almost a third as much as the entire Halo franchise
6,432,211,879 total damage received
118,676,889 total KOs worldwide
1,446,231 miles total distance the Sandbag has traveled in Home Run Contest – almost six times the distance from the Earth to the moon
3,899,843 online battles held YESTERDAY
10,731,978 online battles ever held
22,107,817 battles overall (offline and offline)

We can’t say this with absolute certainty, but it does appear that Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is included in the data. It’d be tough for the Wii U game alone to accumulate 2.2 billion hours of play within 96 hours of its release!

One Super Smash Bros. for Wii U player has encountered an incredibly bizarre glitch in the game. As shown in the video above, character models are completely disfigured. The cause of the glitch is currently unknown.

Thanks to Felix for the tip.

Ubisoft was once planning on including a world in Rayman Legends known as “Chateau Dracula”, which roughly translates to “Dracula Castle”. Sadly, the idea was cut from the final game.

Dracula Castle was set in a large gothic castle. Players would be able to traverse a dining room, cellar area, and even the rooftops.

Unseen64 managed to obtain concept art of Dracula Castle. The stage was never prototyped, and it was apparently scrapped due to time and budget constraints.
