Game Informer was able to conduct an interview with Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi, Nintendo, and Monster Games about Xenoblade Chronicles. Takahashi was able to speak about the original game while discussing cut ideas like wanting to have the ability to fly. He also revealed Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai wanted Shulk in the Wii U/3DS games, and had the idea for the bathing suit skin. Other than that, there’s some Xenoblade Chronicles 3D-specific comments from Monster Games.
We’ve rounded up all of the various quotes below. For those that are interested, you can find Game Informer’s original article here.
Update: Bumped to the top with another comparison:
NintendoWorldReport compiled a brief video comparing Mewtwo in Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. The short clip is posted below.
It’s rather rare to see an Atelier game outside of a PlayStation system these days. But with Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland, Gust Corporation has decided to bring this latest entry to 3DS.
Given Gust’s goals with Atelier Rorona Plus, it makes sense for the game to be on Nintendo’s portable. Series director Yoshito Okamura told Japanese website Dengeki that the company wants to expand the franchise to a more diverse audience.
Okamura said:
Naturally, when you shift to a different platform, the age demographic changes as well. In light of this, we have the super-deformed versions of the characters. However, even if there are many Atelier fans in their 20s, the age range goes up to people in their 40s as well, since many fans from the Mary games are still supporting the series.
