DLC

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nintendo is offering players the opportunity to nearly double the amount of content they can play in the Mario Golf: World Tour game, which launches May 2 for the portable Nintendo 3DS system. With 10 courses and 126 holes (an amount equivalent to previous games in the franchise), extensive multiplayer modes as well as regional and worldwide tournaments, the main game offers plenty of content for golf fans already. But players who can’t get enough golf and want to expand their experiences can purchase up to a total of 108 new downloadable holes and additional Mushroom Kingdom golfers. The DLC opens up further challenging courses for players to enjoy as they test their skills (broadband Internet access is required).

“We’re letting fans expand their experience with Mario Golf: World Tour,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Some players might be content hitting the links on the numerous courses already included with the game, while others will appreciate the option of being able to add to their fairway fun with new courses and characters.”

Swords & Soldiers is a fine game, but the 3DS version was sadly marred by a number of issues. One of these problems, however, could be addressed in the future.

We recently spoke with Ronimo Games about a number of topics including their thoughts on Swords & Soldiers 3D – a port handled by Circle Entertainment. The studio’s Jasper Koning informed us that Circle is “still working to improve the frame rate”, and even more surprisingly, the company is “looking into bringing the DLC expansion ‘Super Saucy Sausage Fest’ to the 3DS.”

We’ll have more from Ronimo this weekend when our full interview goes live.

Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars is out today in North America. In Europe, Atlus expects the game to arrive next month. A specific date hasn’t been nailed down, but news will be shared in the near future.

Atlus also plans to begin releasing Conception II’s DLC in May. The Monokuma DLC, which adds two new quests, will kick things off. Additional DLC will be rolled out each week.

Sonic Lost World’s Zelda Zone features the hedgehog dressed up in Link’s garb. But in the Yoshi Zone, Sonic’s appearance remains the same.

Producer Takashi Iizuka explained why this is so to 4Gamer in a recent interview. For the Yoshi DLC, SEGA wanted to focus on Sonic running around and collecting eggs. But for the Zelda Zone, even though Hyrule Field appears, some players may not be familiar with the series and may have felt that it was nothing more than an average area. Iizuka therefore took charge in making sure Sonic was dressed as Link.

“While talking with the designers, we were wondering how we could have Sonic wear these clothes and look normal while covering his spikes,” Iizuka said. “In any case, I was definitely worried at the time of designing.”

Nintendo and Camelot are planning on adding paid downloadable content to Mario Golf: World Tour. As noted in an eShop description for the game, players will be able to “Discover additional paid downloadable courses”. We don’t often see paid DLC from Nintendo, so it’s interesting that they’re taking this approach with Mario Golf.

SEGA ended up creating three different pieces of DLC for Sonic Lost World. We saw content based on Nights, Yoshi, and The Legend of Zelda.

Those who may have been hoping for more Sonic Lost World DLC will be disappointed to hear that there’s nothing else planned. Producer Takashi Iizuka told 4Gamer in a recent interview:

You can see from our design of the DLC introduction page on our official site, we decided from the beginning that we would do three pieces of DLC. We are continuing to make it free, which is a bit difficult for SEGA, since both Yoshi’s Island Zone and The Legend of Zelda Zone were both in collaboration with Nintendo, but SEGA doesn’t have any kind of tradeout from there (note: means this next DLC is not being funded by another source).

Iizuka also mentioned to 4Gamer that for the Zelda DLC, working with Nintendo went smoothly. “We were able to work with so much material in the making of The Legend of Zelda Zone,” he told the site. “I have to say, in making Dodongo’s Cavern into a cylinder-shaped stage, we were all able to easily agree on it.”

As for what lies ahead for Sonic Team, Iizuka said that he’s not in a position to discuss anything at this time.

We’ll have a few more quotes from Iizuka’s interview with 4Gamer within the next couple of days.
