Nobuo Uematsu worked on Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and ended up creating the game’s orchestral theme. As for how his participation with Brawl’s development came about, Uematsu told Game Informer:
“I have a feeling that I got the job offer from Mr. Sakurai while we were drinking. He would let me selfishly do whatever I wanted, whether it be using an orchestra or using opera singers.”
It appears that Uematsu would have been interested in returning for the new Smash Bros. games on Wii U/3DS, but wasn’t asked to be brought back.
Uematsu said:
“Why didn’t I participate in the new Smash Brothers!? Ask Mr. Sakurai! I wanted to work on it! All joking aside, it’s just that, since there are many video game musicians representing Japan who are already participating, there’s no need for me.”
Elliot Quest is launching on the North American Wii U eShop in just a few days. Ansimuz Games announced today that its game is due out on March 19 – next Thursday. Pricing is set at $12.99.
For those in Europe, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. The game will arrive in PAL territories on April 16.
Another “Miiting” just wrapped up on Miiverse a short while ago. In the latest discussion, Nintendo’s MariChan chatted with the Happy Mask Salesman from Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D. The Happy Mask Salesman doesn’t actually exist of course (except in the game… and in our hearts!), but the interview nonetheless holds some interesting nuggets.
We’re posting the “Miiting” in full below. It’s rather lengthy!
