Nintendo Life has a video up that unboxes the complete European Bravely Second Deluxe Collector’s Edition. Check it out below.
Metroid Prime maker Retro Studios has finally updated its website with a new design. You can see it for yourself here.
If you saw Retro’s site previously, you could tell that it was really in need of a makeover. Thankfully, this new one employs a more modern design, and a number of the individual pages have been updated.
An art book will be included with all first-print copies of 7th Dragon III Code: VFD, SEGA revealed today. This includes pre-orders
as well as a limited number of launch edition copies.
The book itself contains 28 pages. It will let fans see “a closer look at the design work that went in to creating the game’s esoteric character classes, ferocious dragons, vile monsters, and the environments that span three time periods.” The game and art book will also be packaged in a colorful outer box.

We now have a proper look at the Wolf Link amiibo costume in Super Mario Maker, which was outed earlier today. Take a look at a video showing the outfit below.
By pre-ordering Hyrule Warriors Legends from Italian retailers, consumers will receive a trio of costumes. Two of the outfits are specific to the My Fairy portion of the game while the other is a classic Link costume. We haven’t heard about other territories yet, but there’s a good chance that these bonuses will be offered in other European countries as well.
Moon Studios, developer of the critically-acclaimed Ori and the Blind Forest, appears to have at least some interest in working with NX. The problem? The team has had trouble securing a dev kit.
Moon Studios’ Thomas Mahler sounded off on the situation in a NeoGAF post. His disappointment isn’t entirely directed at Nintendo though, as he says “every hardware manufacturer is treating their devkits and their unreleased consoles like they’re the second coming”.
Mahler’s words in full:
“This is actually THE singlest most annoying thing for every dev out there. We also talked to Nintendo and got absolutely nothing – I’ll never understand that. And just to be clear, it’s not just Nintendo, every hardware manufacturer is treating their devkits and their unreleased consoles like they’re the second coming and are insanely secretive about it to a stupid degree in todays time. It’s not even that the hardware isn’t finished (duh), but you could at least give me the goddamn specs, so we’d know what to build s*** for!
What’s needed to sell hardware is goddamn good software. With Nintendo not having any devkits out there at this point and probably even wanting to sell it in 2016, I can already guarantee that they’ll just not have any software support, since nobody can just jumble games together in less than a year. I mean, you can, but it’ll be garbage.
The same is true for Engine Support – Get Unity and Epic to support these consoles WAAAAY ahead of release. By the time the console launches, it should be EASY for developers to develop games for these systems, things shouldn’t just only start at this point. I want the goddamn devkits or at least proper hardware specs ideally 2 years before release – Keep all the developers updated, start a forum where devs can chat and all figure out the problem everyone’s having, instead of everyone just having to deal with it. None of that’s happening anywhere and it’s just braindamaged.”
