As Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 launches in Japan, Famitsu sat down with producer Taichi Inuzuka for an interview. We have a summary as to what Inuzuka shared with the magazine this week.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 is the third entry in the series on 3DS. The team previously wrapped up remakes of Terry’s Wonderland 3D and Dragon Quest Monsters 2. After this, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii asked the team what game should be made next. The choices were between Caravan Heart (originally came out on GBA), a professional version of Dragon Quest Monsters 2, or a brand new game. In the end, they decided on Joker.

Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai is back with another Famitsu column in this week’s magazine. This time around, Sakurai tackled a few questions from fans.

Here’s a summary of what was shared:

What’s better: printed or digital manuals?

Sakurai points out that he only reads manuals when he’s really stuck, so either way is fine. But for digital versions, it’d be better if they load up as fast as possible. (Note: Many people consider printed guides to be more convenient because they’re not located on the same screen).

This week’s Famitsu scans are now available. Highlighted games include Chase: Unsolved Cases Investigation Division, Dragon Ball: Fusions, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3, Miitomo, and Puzzle & Dragons X. Scans of each title can be found in the gallery below.
