Initially a PSP title, Elminage Another Story was slated to launch on August 28 for the 3DS. The title has been delayed, but Starfish has now confirmed that a release will happen in Japan sometime in October. No word yet on a western launch.
Mario Maker allows users to create their own Mario stages, but it wouldn’t be too much fun without the ability to share creations with others, right? Thankfully, Takashi Tezuka has officially confirmed that this functionality will be included.
Tezuka teased while speaking with EDGE this month, “There will need to be a system for sharing courses online”. And that’s the latest on Mario Maker for now!
The Fall is out now on the North American Wii U eShop. Those who plan on purchasing and downloading the game will need to reserve just under 600 MB of space. That’s not too bad all things considered!
Producer Eiji Aonuma recently shared a cryptic teaser about the nature of Zelda Wii U’s open world.
Aonuma – among other employees like Shigeru Miyamoto – were interviewed in this month’s EDGE as part of a significant Nintendo feature. Regarding Zelda Wii U’s world, Aonuma teased:
“Since we’re talking about open worlds, let’s state upfront that we don’t plan to have an open world in the same way other companies have been doing in recent years.”
We’ll let you know if any other interesting bits come out of this month’s EDGE.
If you’ve played Xenoblade, you know just how massive the game’s world is. For the sequel, Xenoblade Chronicles X, developer Monolith Soft has somehow managed to take things even further.
Monolith’s Tetsuya Takahashi revealed to EDGE this month that Xenoblade Chronicles X’s map is over five times bigger than what was included in the original Xenoblade.
He said:
“Vehicles are called Dolls. They are 5 Times larger than a person. So to get the same feel as Xenoblade Chronicles, the map would need to be 5 times bigger. The game world in X is in fact even bigger than that.”
