While creating the original Zelda: Wind Waker for GameCube, Nintendo considered giving Link a certain ability. Amazingly, this was eye-beams of all things.
According to developer Satoru Takizawa, legendary designer Takashi Tezuka “said we needed to supply a reason for the eyes being so big.” But at the end of the day, Takizawa doesn’t believe that giving Link eye beams would have been realistic.
From the latest Iwata Asks:
Takizawa: Now that the eyes had gotten much larger, we wanted to make their facial expressions richer by increasing the number of patterns for the eyes and mouth. Partway through, we even talked about having beams come out of those eyes! (laughs)
Iwata: Huh? Eye-beams?!
Takizawa: (Shigeru) Miyamoto-san and (Takashi) Tezuka-san said we needed to supply a reason for the eyes being so big. I don’t think beams were really an option, though.
Curtain Call is the second entry in the Theatrhythm Final Fantasy series. The game will likely be its last.
Producer Ichiro Hazama, speaking with Famitsu, has suggested that there won’t be any additional Theatrhythm titles. Hazama said Curtain Call is intended to be “the newest, the best, and the final one.”
He said:
“We’re thinking that we’d like this to be the final Theatrhythm. It’ll be the newest, the best, and the final one. A lot of rhythm action game sequels don’t include the songs from the original game, but with our project, if we didn’t include tunes like ‘Clash on the Big Bridge’ [FF5] or ‘Isn’t It Wonterful’ [FF10], you can’t place the FF crown on that. So instead of just adding new songs, we want to have this game be the base upon which we add new songs and try to get as close to a complete song list as possible.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Hazama talked about Curtain Call’s new multiplayer mode.
“It’s a bit like competitive multiplayer on a falling-block puzzle game. As you make successful taps and beat monsters, your gauge fills up and you’ll trigger effects to get in the way of your opponent’s game.”
Previously-announced Mega Man titles for the 3DS Virtual Console aren’t out as of now. We’re talking about the Game Boy releases Mega Man II, III, IV, and V, as well as Mega Man Xtreme 1 and 2 for Game Boy Color.
You can rest assured knowing that Capcom is working on things. While the company doesn’t have any dates to announce, Capcom’s Brett Elston hopes to have games ready to go by the end of this year.
Elston wrote on the Capcom-Unity boards:
Still no concrete date set. There’s still a fair amount of coordination that has to happen among NOA/CUSA/Capcom Japan/Nintendo Japan, plus slotting in games when Thursday is the only day, per week, when VC games hit Wii U / 3DS. I would love to get them out this year—and am pushing for that—but it’s a bigger task than me simply setting a date.
But yeah, they’re definitely still coming (+ Xtreme and Xtreme 2).
