Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced new Smash Bros. games for Wii U and 3DS at E3 2011. This was an unprecedented announcement for the company. Never before have two Smash Bros. projects been developed concurrently, nor has any game in the series graced a handheld system.
Unfortunately, it sounds like it’ll take quite some time before either title is released.
Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai indicated in a Nintendo Power interview that he had not yet formed an official team to work on the games. He said that development “may take a while”.
Sakurai told the magazine:
“I can’t really say anything until things settle down with Kid Icarus… And a lot of it will depend on the team that I end up assembling for Smash Bros. It may take a while, but I think that your patience will be rewarded.”
This probably isn’t what Smash Bros. fans would like to hear, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise. Sakurai has previously stated that the sole purpose of revealing the Smash Bros. games last June was to assemble developers for the future.
Thanks to Sondossaan for providing us with this information!
Trip World is available on the European/Japanese eShops. Nintendo has said that it’ll be out on the North American store soon.
For the most part, this bundle hasn’t changed. It includes a copy of Zelda: Skyward Sword, a CD, and a Wii Remote Plus. However, the golden controller in the current bundle will be swapped out with a standard Wiimote.
Jump has a new update on Dragon Quest X in its latest issue. The magazine detailed story elements and has confirmed that the game will receive post-release DLC.
The new details are as follows:
– Dragon Quest X is story driven even though it’s an MMORPG
– One member of your party is considered the “story” leader online
– Game takes place within the story leader’s story
– There are numerous stories on the five continents
– Eltona: The land of the elves is facing destruction because due to the inability to carry out a particularly important ceremony.
– Ogleed: The king of a nation called Gartland is suffering from a mysterious illness.
– Pukuland: The land of the Pukuripo, normally a bright and cheerful place, is suffering from a severe case of missing children. The mysterious Pukuripo who wears a top hat the size of his body could be involved with the kidnapping.
