These are the rules players need to follow when playing Super Smash Bros. for 3DS online. We heard about a few of these things previously during the Smash Bros. Direct earlier this year.
An official page on Nintendo’s website provides first screenshots from the 3DS version of Duck Dynasty. Interestingly, this game features a more cartoon-like approach unlike the realistic style of the console edition.
We still don’t know too much about how Duck Dynasty actually plays. Nintendo’s website only states, “Learn to become a Robertson! Go Duck Huntin’, Fishin’ and Froggin’ with Willie, Uncle Si, and the rest of the family from the hit TV show.”
Painting Workshop is coming to Europe on October 9, according to a listing on the eShop. The game will be available for €3.99. We’ll let you know when we hear something about the North American launch.

CVG is reporting that Ubisoft has created a dedicated “core team” within the company featuring members from the Child of Light development group.
In an interview with the site, Ubisoft Montreal’s VP of creative Lionel Raynaud said:
“We are super happy with Child of Light. The team did a good job and the game had a great reception. We were proud to deliver something new and unique – a lot of people were surprised that Montreal was delivering this kind of game. The team learned a lot about RPG mechanics during development and this has resulted in us creating a core team. The people who made this game now want to work together again, whether it’s on a small game or not. This dynamic has incredible value in the industry and it’s what we want to do: we want to create core teams that want to make great games.”
“So yes, we will encourage other initiatives like Child of Light and there’s a chance that we will have many more games like that in the future. I already have many different projects that are in the pitch stage – I even had one in my office this morning, which was super exciting.”
Plourde himself has “moved on” from the Child of Light team to work on a different project. However, the chance to work on a smaller game provided him with the opportunity “to grow and try something different.”
“It wasn’t the most commercial idea so it became very personal – I even did a lot of the PR myself; GDC talks, global tours etc. I have moved on. I guess I’m a special snowflake in this case, because I hate being stuck in one place. At some point somebody put me in a room and said, ‘Pat, you’re the Rainbow Six guy!’ or ‘You’re the Assassin’s Creed guy!’ but I said no, even after Far Cry.”
