Hello everyone, here’s another podcast! All of your votes have been tallied on to put together the definitive list of the top ten game soundtracks (on Nintendo platforms) from 2014. In this almost two-hour podcast you can expect to hear excerpts from all of the soundtracks that made the list with commentary from myself and those who sent in their thoughts. Thank you to everyone who helped make this feature possible and sorry about the delay.

A new 3DS firmware update is now available for download. By grabbing the latest firmware, your system will be brought up to version 9.5.0-22.

It appears that today’s update is on the simpler side of things, as it’s mostly about stability. Nintendo says of the firmware: “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”. That’s it!

Update (2/2) Destructoid appears to have confirmed this news. Check out the following:

A Target employee has confirmed the authenticity of this document, an internal newsletter called “The Vibe in Electronics.” They state that running out of stock and not getting more shipments for a Target exclusive item is common. They also cement the fact that Sheik may be rare as there haven’t been many shipments coming in at all, but Toon Link is in fact common.

If you’re living in the U.S. and have interest in the Rosalina amiibo, you may want to try finding product sooner rather than later. An internal memo from Target indicates that the figure will not be restocked. As many of you know, Target is the only retailer selling the Rosalina amiibo in the United States.

There are some other interesting points from the memo as well. For instance, Target will apparently not stock the Mega Man, Sonic, King Dedede, and Ike amiibo in store. Consumers will instead be directed to order from the retailer’s website.

Very recently, Japanese website Dengeki Online interviewed a couple of folks from GungHo Online Entertainment. The website sat down with Daisuke Yamamoto and Kazuki Morishita for a chat about Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition.

The origins of Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition go way back to the release of Puzzle & Dragons Z, GungHo’s first attempt at bringing the popular series to the 3DS. Morishita was asked by Dengeki about his thoughts about the game at the time of its release.

Masahiro Sakurai published a new “Smash Bros. Diaries” entry in the latest issue of Game Informer. In one question, Sakurai is asked if he considered allowing the fighter unlocks in the 3DS version to transfer over to the Wii U version.

Sakurai starts out by giving a simple “no”, but then elaborates further. He mentions that unlocking characters in these new games are easier than in previous titles, and he understands that players look forward to the “Challenger Approaching!” segments.

One noteworthy comment shared by Sakurai is that, at one point, he “considered just opening up all the fighters from the start on the Wii U”. However, unlocks were left in for the fans who enjoy the “Challenge Approaching!” aspects.

View Sakurai’s full comments below.
