A couple of days ago, Nintendo compared The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to the original NES Legend of Zelda on their Japanese website, offering up a few comparisons in the way Hyrule looks in both games; we translated that article here. Today, Nintendo of Europe released essentially the same article in English. It doesn’t really offer any new insights – even the screenshots are still from the Japanese version. Still, if you wanna take a look at it, you can find the article here.

Following Nintendo’s recent financial results meeting, president Tatsumi Kimishima sat down with Bloomberg and answered a couple of their questions on the Switch and Nintendo’s other future projects. Read the full interview here; below are a couple of interesting excerpts:

Will you discontinue the 3DS?

Thanks to our software, the 3DS hardware is still growing. So that business still has momentum. And certainly rather than being cannibalized by the Switch, we think the 3DS can continue in its own form.

The video didn’t seem like a typical Nintendo promotion. It was aimed at an audience that you would expect for Sony or Apple.

As the name implies, we’re switching a lot of things. But we have no interest in switching our customers. We have no intention of just going after a certain age group. Depending on the kind of software that comes out, families and kids will be able to play too. The titles we did show, those are games that for people who understand they will grasp it right away, but for families and kids, we want them to understand by actually experiencing it.

A gold and white 2DS based on New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be releasing in Japan on December 15. The 2DS will come with a 4GB SD card that has New Super Mario Bros. 2 installed and an AC adapter. It’s probably no coincidence that this edition is releasing the same month as Super Mario Run will hit iOS stores. We’ll update if the system is announced for other territories.

An animated film based on Bandai Namco’s Klonoa is in development. The film is being produced by Henshin, a U.S. animation company. There is currently no information on when production will start or release. Henshin founder Rob Pereyda will lead production, and Hitoshi Ariga will co-produce, design, and write for the film. Pereyda has previously worked on adaptations of other Bandai Namco franchises (Bravoman, Mappy, and Wonder Momo), while Ariga has done lots of work on Mega Man manga and designed several Pokemon for Pokemon X and Y.

Klonoa games have released on the Game Boy Advance and the Wii, and one of the GBA titles (KLONOA: Empire of Dreams) is available on the Wii U Virtual Console.

Another new character will be revealed for the arcade version of Pokken Tournament on November 1. On the official Japanese website, Bandai Namco teased the upcoming news. The announcement will take place during a Niconico stream per usual.

News will drop at roughly the following times:

– 4 AM PT
– 7 AM ET
– 12 PM in the UK
– 1 PM in Europe

Thus far, Darkrai and Scizor have been added to Pokken Tournament in arcades. Both were spotted in update files from the Wii U version several months ago along with Empoleon. Because of that, it’s likely then that Empoleon will be the newest character for Pokken Tournament.
