Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is currently $10 off on Amazon.
You can pick up the game for $30 as opposed to $40. As far as I’m aware, this is the first sale for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call since its launch in September.
Even more 3DS themes are now available in Europe, despite the fact that they weren’t mentioned in the latest download update. These include Smash Bros. themes which are priced at £1.79 / €1.99 each. There are also nintendogs + cats themes that come in Golden Retriever, Shiba, French Bulldog and Toy Poodle variations.
Shigeru Miyamoto was born on November 16, 1952. That means he’s now 62 years old! Let’s all wish Miyamoto a very happy birthday.
Technically we’re a day late on this since it’s now November 17 in Japan. But that’s okay.
Miyamoto’s contributions to Nintendo and the gaming industry as a whole are endless. He’s brought us Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, Pikmin, and plenty of other franchises/games. Can you imagine what gaming would be like had those series never been created? I certainly can’t!

To be the main voice in a strange Japanese RPG that seemed fated for nothing but cult status in the west probably wasn’t the most notable credit on actor Adam Howden’s resume at the time of recording. Indeed, he did the beloved voice of Shulk in Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii – and by proxy, Smash Bros. – but has also lent his voice to things like Assassin’s Creed and The Old Republic, and it’s more or less chance that the 2011 (or 2012… or 2010, depending on your region…) ended up being his most renowned role, at least among the Nintendo-focused.
For some strange reason – being the talent that he is – Adam agreed to answer a few of our questions about Xenoblade, Smash Bros., and voice acting in general in an email interview we did. You can read all of what he had to say after the break!
