Also, For the Boxing Ring, if you select the stage while holding down the L Button, you can play on the Smash Bros. version of the stage. If you hold down the Y Button, you can choose to play on the Punch Out! version. These variations are usually selected at random, but this method lets you select them manually.

It’s been a short while since our last “Circle Entertainment spotlight”, but the company has been kind enough to share with us a first look at The Legend of Dark Witch.

The Legend of Dark Witch is a 2D action-platformer. In the game, Syega Crystals gave their powers to the people of the world, but somebody has stolen them all. This causes the world to plunge into darkness. As the dark witch Zizou, you must retrieve the missing crystals.

Zizou will be able to learn new attacks by defeating bosses. She can collect “Tres” in battle, which can be used to upgrade abilities. Players can expect “diverse levels that provide a fair challenge”, bonuses when replaying the game, and three difficulty modes.

The Legend of Dark Witch is tentatively slated for an October 16 launch on the North American 3DS eShop. You’ll find the game’s first screenshots below.

Update: Now over, but you can find a full replay of the chat below. A huge thanks goes out to those who joined us!

I’ll let you guys know when we’ll be hosting the next Discussing Everything. Next week may be tricky, but October 12 should be clear for sure.


We’ll be kicking off the first Discussing Everything in just a bit! The chat will officially go live at 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT.

Putting the video after the break just to be safe with spoilers!

One last bump, since Sunday is the big day! We’ll make a post just a short bit before 4 PM ET / 1 PM ET. Countdown here.


I’ve been taking a look at the feedback you guys left in last week’s Discussing Everything announcement post. After going through the different comments, it seemed like choosing Saturday/Sunday for the live chat would be best option.

And so we’ll be kicking off the first Discussing Everything this coming Sunday at 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT. By doing so, we’re hoping to accommodate people in the most relevant timezones while fitting the feature into my own schedule. I’m actually thinking of going with Saturdays (at the same time) more often than not, but I do want to see if a Sunday afternoon will work well. I’ll be sure to provide an update each week in any case!

As for how Discussing Everything will play out: this will be your opportunity to interact with the staff (myself, Austin, etc.) and (potentially) other readers on the site. You’ll be able to ask us any question/comment on anything that’s on your mind – be it Nintendo-related, gaming in general, or something else entirely. You’ll be able to submit questions/comments in real time as we’re discussing various topics (like recent news). We decided to implement things this way simply because a regular chat could become chaotic with comments flooding in, and we’re aiming for something a bit more organized. We may, however, add a secondary chat option or change the format entirely in the future depending on feedback.

Also, I do want to mention that you will not need to register for any sort of account to participate in Discussing Everything.

Still confused? Just show up next week! In the end, this is simply an opportunity to hold a live chat of sorts with you guys. I do seriously hope that some of you will join us as I’m looking forward to upcoming discussions and being able to chat with you directly. It should be a fun time!


One last piece of business to take care of. It’s time to announce the winner of our Mighty Gunvolt giveaway! We asked you guys to leave a comment in our Discussing Everything post, and after choosing a random entry, the lucky winner is Za23. We will be in touch shortly with the code. Thanks to all who participated!

Calling me a Legend of Zelda fan would be a bit of an understatement. If you were to step into my room, you’d be blinded by the posters and merchandise scattered from one wall to another, all finished off with my saddening number of physical Zelda titles. So with the announcement of Hyrule Warriors during last December’s Nintendo Direct, I was nothing short of excited; providing an excuse for having our beloved Zelda worlds and characters collide in one epic horde fighting action game sounds like a dream come true, and every day I spent waiting for the game felt like an eternity. Now that I’ve sped my way through this long journey over the past week, I can safely say my excitement was placed in good hands.
