Back when VIZ Media announced the “Legendary Edition” volumes for the various Zelda manga, we heard about two that are arriving over the next few months. Ocarina of Time is up first in November, followed by Oracle of Ages/Seasons in January. We now have news about the two other volumes.
Majora’s Mask and A Link to the Past will comprise volume 3, with a release planned for March 2017. The Minish Cap and Phantom Hourglass will then follow in May.
It’s also worth mentioning that pre-orders for the third and fourth Legendary Edition volumes are on sale over at Amazon. Majora’s Mask/A Link to the Past as well as Minish Cap/Phantom Hourglass are down to about $12.
Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 launched in Japan on Thursday. Check out the video below for a ton of footage which spans nearly six hours.
Chronova Games is working on “Mega Maze”, an upcoming indie title on the way to the Wii U eShop. You’ll move through 60 levels in a first-person view in an attempt to navigate your way out of each one. Keys and doors, multiple floors, holes, and teleporters look to mix up the gameplay.
Mega Maze will also allow players to create their own levels and share them online with others. Online leaderboards are in as well to compare completion times.
Watch a trailer for Mega Maze below.
Nintendo brought out the Super Mario 3D Land Edition New 3DS on Friday. The package includes the system, a pair of cover plates, and a pre-installed copy of Super Mario 3D Land. View an unboxing video below.
Sumo Digital worked with SEGA to release Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing in 2010. It was a racer starring Sonic and a bunch of other characters based on SEGA’s various franchises. The game was well-received, and the two companies then returned in 2012 with the sequel Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. The racing was just as good, and Sumo did everything it could to make an even bigger and better game.
While reflecting on the sequel in last month’s issue of EDGE, executive producer Steve Lycett told the magazine:
“It was basically, ‘What if we had vehicles which transformed and [travelled across] land, air and sea?’ That was the initial back-of-a-fag-packet idea that became the basis of Transformed.”
“We made everything fourplayer; we made sure every single track had its own individual [style]. In a way, we almost didn’t care what Sega thought, as long as the fans were happy. We said we wanted to deliver absolutely everything we could, and we never pulled back from that, to the point where we were sneaking updates and various bits and pieces under the radar.”
