Majora’s Mask 3D music has been cleaned up but is the same, Kondo supervising Zelda Wii U theme
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 8 Comments
Another new Koji Kondo interview has popped up online, this time coming from GameSpot.
Kondo was asked about a number of topics. He answered some general questions as well as ones that were a bit game-specific. Naturally, Zelda was one of the franchises GameSpot brought up.
When asked if The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D will feature music that is mostly the same as the original, Kondo responded:
Actually, with Majora, we thought it was really important to protect the feeling of the game because the music was tied so well to the original gameplay. We’ve done some clean up on the audio quality, but the music itself we haven’t changed.
We did some rebalancing, of course, to make it sound good on the Nintendo 3DS. Before you were hearing it out of you TV speakers, and we just needed to do some rebalancing for that now that it’s on a handheld.
Sakurai: Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS will continue to be improved online, but no further balane patches
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 2 Comments
The online experience in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS will continue to be improved. However, director Masahiro Sakurai has indicated that there will not be any additional balance patches.
Sakurai told Famitsu in this week’s issue:
—In the future, do you plan on adjusting or balancing the game further through a patch?
Sakurai: We don’t have any such plans, but at the very least we will be working on a few things connected to the online play experience, bit by bit.
If we were to do something like tweak characters’ customized special moves, then there’d be no end to it. But with that said, if there are any glaring issues, we may address them.
—That’s because with customized special moves or items, you can only play with them enabled online with players who are in your friends list, isn’t that right?
Sakurai: When playing with your personal friends, I think it’s probably more interesting that you can almost cheat a little through customizing your character. *Laughs*

Renegade Kid is bringing Dementium to the 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 7 Comments
Renegade Kid’s Dementium franchise is heading to the 3DS. While chatting with Vinesauce during a live stream event last night, co-founder Jools Watsham shared news about what’s planned for the IP.
Renegade Kid is bringing the first Dementium game to the 3DS eShop. The company is working to address some of the more “brutal” elements like enemies that constantly respawn and the save system. In the U.S. release of the first Dementium, players would return to the beginning of the chapter if they lost to a boss. Watsham mentioned that the European version addressed this somewhat by adding automatic checkpoints before boss encounters, though it was still “not quite there.” Dementium II featured save devices, and Renegade Kid would like to implement something like that into the new eShop release.

Discussing Everything #10 tomorrow
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Discussing Everything | 0 comments
This week’s Discussing Everything will be taking place once again tomorrow. However, please note that we’ll be starting a half hour later – 4:30 PM ET / 1:30 PM PT. I’ve been noticing that a bunch more people have been showing up for the second half of the event, so I’ll be curious to see what happens if we begin 30 minutes later than usual. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll return to normal time next week.
November 2014 NPD: Sonic Boom, Persona Q, limited edition Mario Bros. 2 3DS XL sales
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 23 Comments
NeoGAF’s “creamsugar” has come through with a new set of sales data leaks from this month’s NPD report.
First, let’s talk about software. Sonic Boom is off to a rough start, as Rise of Lyric only moved 25,000 copies in its first month. Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal on 3DS apparently sold even lower.
On a somewhat brighter note, Persona Q: Shadows of the Labyrinth sold around 48,000 units last month. That’s not too bad considering the game launched during the very last week of November and was up against anticipated titles like Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
Finally, we have news about the limited edition New Super Mario Bros. 2 3DS XL. Consumers snatched up 140,000 of these handhelds in the U.S. last month.
