Square Enix originally gave up on Dragon Quest VII 3DS localization, but is rethinking things due to fan response
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 8 Comments
Further comments have emerged regarding the potential localization of Dragon Quest VII for 3DS.
In an interview with USgamer, Square Enix’s Yuu Miyake revealed that the company had given up on the idea at one point. However, based on interest from fans, Square Enix is now “trying to rethink this, to see if there’s any way to make this more feasible.”
Miyake said:
This petition came from France, written in Japanese, asking, ‘Is there any way you would consider it?’ We hear the fans, and we’re paying attention. We had actually given up on the idea of localization altogether, but because there’s such a great response we’re trying to rethink this, to see if there’s any way to make this more feasible. We’re recalculating, and figuring out the costs necessary. Trying to work out the details.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS Screenshots (09/02/14) – All-Star mode
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS, News, Screenshots | 9 Comments
Today Sakurai talks a little bit about All-Star mode for the 3DS, which looks like it will be a little bit more dynamic than in previous entries:
He continues:
In these battles, multiple opponents appear in one stage, and you clear the battle by defeating a number of them. The rest area that appears between battles displays the next opponents and the year the characters made their first appearances, and it also holds recovery items and an occasional reward. The characters you fight against appear pretty much in chronological order. Behold, the history of Nintendo games!!
