This month’s issue of Nintendo Dream features an interview with Masahiro Sakurai. During the discussion, the Smash Bros. director talked about ending DLC in the Wii U and 3DS games, including how development differed with the main title and why now is an appropriate time to stop adding characters. There’s also quite a bit of discussion about how Sakurai wants Smash Bros. to appeal to all types of players.
Head past the break for the interview breakdown. Please note that this particular post is more of an abridged/summary version rather than a word-for-word translation.
We all know that The Legend of Zelda is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. The big day itself is actually today since it’s now February 21 in Japan! The original Zelda debuted on the Famicom way back on February 21, 1986.
The Legend of Zelda has had such a major impact on Nintendo and gaming in general. It’s kind of crazy that it’s been around as long as it has! For me, Zelda is the biggest reason why I’m personally a gamer today. If I never had the opportunity to play Ocarina of Time, I can’t even begin to imagine how different my life would be. Nintendo Everything probably wouldn’t have existed!
Famitsu has published some screenshots from the arcade game Mario Party: Mysterious Challenge World. Check out the images below.

Pokken Tournament ended up as a 3D fighter that takes some inspiration from Tekken. That wasn’t the original plan, however.
When Bandai Namco was meeting with The Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara, there was interest in creating a Pokemon-themed version of the rhythm series Taiko Drum Master. Ishihara was actually the one who suggested doing something different.
“Mr. Ishihara actually said, ‘If we’re going to work with Bandai Namco, I want to do a collaboration with Tekken,'” Pokken Tournament producer Katsuhiro Harada told The Verge.
And so that’s how we eventually ended up with Pokken Tournament. The game made its way to arcades last year, and will be reaching Wii U on March 18.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD’s Sound Selection CD doesn’t simply take music from the original game. Instead, Nintendo has confirmed that the various tunes have been remastered.
The soundtrack team has also posted a message about the CD on the official Zelda Facebook page. It reads:
“The core concepts for Twilight Princess’ score are melancholy, pathos, a sensation of speed, and how through it all you can feel a ray of hope. We were really happy to remaster the soundtrack so that everyone can appreciate all the distinctive qualities of each track.”
And here’s the Facebook post in full:
