“You know what the SNES needs? A mouse!”
I started another inflammatory article earlier today about game reviews, but part of the way through I decided to stop because I need to take a break from being all angry about the blogging industry and start promoting fun discussions. So instead I’m working on this article that I haven’t come up with a topic for yet, but I’m sure it will come to me as a write this. I’m thinking maybe something about music in games, but that’s been done before. How about something more abstract, like “Best unexpectedly fantastic video game”? Eh, nah. I would talk too much about Fragile. Maybe “Best game featuring food”? No, that’s just stupid.
The third volume of Iwata Asks: The Last Story has been translated on Nintendo of Europe’s website. AQ Interactive’s Takuya Matsumoto was brought in for the chat, and as you’ll see below, he had a tremendous impact on the game.
Head past the break for a comprehensive summary of the interview. The full discussion can be found here.
There’s just one Nintendo-specific review score in the latest issue of Game Informer. Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D received a 7.75 / 10 in the magazine’s April issue.

GamesRadar has published a massive interview with Super Mario 3D Land director Koichi Hayashida.
Hayashida did share a few nuggets about the 3D platformer, such as how Statue Mario barely made it into the game and how the team considered implementing a time limit on Fire Mario as was the case for the Galaxy games.
Speaking of Super Mario Galaxy, Hayashida basically said that it’s unlikely we’ll see a third game in the “series”. He doesn’t see a realistic scenario in which the staff would use leftover ideas from Galaxy 2 for a possible Galaxy 3 title.
Hayashida also confirmed that downloadable content is a possibility for Mario, discussed his thoughts about Wii U, and more.
Head past the break for all of Hayashida’s remarks!
