Today’s screenshot features the Mii Gunner once again, as Sakurai explains one of the possible attacks available to Mii fighters:
The Mii Gunner’s side smash attack may have the farthest reach of all the side smashes…as should be expected from a firearms expert!! Looks like the attack missed this time, though.
Around the Water Cooler is the latest feature we’re introducing on Nintendo Everything. It’s mainly being led by Scott – someone who you may have seen before if you’ve checked out his Unlikely Review video (more of those are hopefully coming soon by the way!).
So here’s the deal. Around the Water Cooler is you’re opportunity to sound off on Nintendo-related subjects. Every two weeks, Scott will come up with a new topic (we are definitely welcoming topic ideas from you guys), and discussions will be held in each post. The subsequent video will highlight select comments about the previous topic made on both the main site and/or on YouTube.
Scott wanted me to let you know that this first video is a bit of a pilot. We already have a few improvements in mind, and your comments/interest will shape Around the Water Cooler’s future. Also: you’ll see more than just a silly green screen next time!
And now for this week’s topic: 2D vs. 3D Mario…
Sound off in the comments below!
The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma sounded off about a variety of topics relating to the franchise in a recent feature published on Nintendo’s Japanese website.
Speaking about the types of things that are interesting in Zelda, Aonuma said:
It is said that one of the interesting things about “Zelda” is the “nazotoki” (nazotoki literally means “solving a puzzle or riddle”). Whenever I think “solving a puzzle”, I just want it to not be too difficult or overly complicated. It would be better to use a “gimmick” or “trick”. That might be better. Various gimmicks are hiding in the world of Link’s adventures, so getting to discover it yourself and thinking about things such as “Can I use this?” or “I wonder if this can be used,” and you also think when you see a certain reaction in the world. We love this kind of continuous discovery, and we find it very fun.
We also recently translated a few quotes from Aonuma in which he discussed the joy in finding treasure. You can find those comments right here.
FUNimation has announced the English cast for Bayonetta: Bloody Fate. You can find the full list below:
BAYONETTA – Hellena Taylor
JEANNE – Grey DeLisle
LUKA – Yuri Lowenthal
BALDER – Grant Albrecht
RODIN – Dave Fennoy
ENZO – John Kassir
NARRATOR – Richard Epcar
This past week, Nintendo clarified to us how it intends to offer the first Bayonetta to Bayonetta 2 buyers in North America.
Ultimately, it’s quite simple. Nintendo has confirmed that Bayonetta will be included with the physical release as a separate disc. Meanwhile, those who purchase Bayonetta 2 on the eShop will still get Bayonetta 1 at no additional cost.
The situation is fairly similar in Europe. You can find information about Bayonetta 1/2 for PAL territories here.
