Famitsu recently posted an article about the new 3DS RPG The Legend of Legacy, which includes comments from director Masataka Matsuura and Kyoji Koizumi.

Matsuura first started out by talking about the game’s origins:

“I’ve always wanted to make an original RPG, and that’s why I’ve joined the industry, but the project basically started sometime around two years ago. At first, I wondered ‘what kind of RPG would do well nowadays?’ But after giving it some thought, I’ve come to the conclusion of ‘if I’m going to make a proper RPG, then wouldn’t it be best to make it with those who have already done so?’”

“That’s when I started a project called ‘Project Legacy,’and contacted those that I personally wished to work with, one by one. From there, people who were interested gathered, and the project formally began. It was something like that.”

Media Create reports this week that pre-orders for Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire have reached 239,000 units (including Double Packs). That number was reached in just two days, believe it or not.

While Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire aren’t entirely new games, in terms of pre-orders, they’re performing about as well as Pokemon X/Y did nine weeks before release.
