Star Wars Pinball is finally coming out on the 3DS this week. Its arrival is several months later, with the console versions launching months ago.
Speaking with BeefJack, Zen Studios’ Mel Kirk explained that the wait was longer on 3DS due to the complex nature of creating pinball titles in 3D. The 3DS also has its limitations “that makes the process take even longer.”
However, Kirk noted that Zen Studios is “certainly committed to the platform and 3DS players. It just takes a little longer to get things to the platform.”
“Pinball in 3D is pretty complex, and we have certain limitations with the 3DS hardware that makes the process take even longer. I am afraid we will likely always be behind with 3DS, but we are certainly committed to the platform and 3DS players. It just takes a little longer to get things to the platform.”
“I would like to say thank you to all the players who support Zen Studios. We can continue doing what we love only because players are willing to support us. Apologies for the time it has taken to get Star Wars Pinball to the 3DS, but we could not rush this and give you a sub-par experience.” – See more at: http://beefjack.com/news/zen-studios-could-not-rush-star-wars-pinball-3d-complex-process-behind-dlc-delays/#sthash.sIiUAMym.dpuf

The “Zelda cycle” is something that has constantly been discussed by players. It boils down to a contingent of fans maintaining a negative opinion about a newly released Zelda title, only to think more positively about the game a couple of years later. The cycle generally repeats with each new release in the franchise.
There may be no better example of the Zelda cycle than Wind Waker. When it was initially revealed, most would likely say that the response to the game was very much negative. The reaction was a bit more favorable when Wind Waker actually launched, but it wasn’t until the game had been out for a number of years that fans looked back positively.
Nintendo acknowledged – and discussed – the Zelda cycle in its new Zelda: Wind Waker HD Iwata Asks. You can find a few comments from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma after the break.
