Thorson explained why they’re not charging for the new content (and revealed that there isn’t much interest in a sequel currently), why it took so long to release, and commented on the game’s sales.

We’ve rounded up these excerpts from the interview below. For the full discussion, head on over to IGN.

Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma wasn’t originally involved with the creation of Link’s Awakening. He was just a player at the time, but his time with that game would later influence the series in a big way.

Aonuma’s first major role with Zelda came about when he served as director on Ocarina of Time. Speaking in last month’s issue of EDGE, he revealed how Link’s Awakening ended up influencing the making of the N64 title, stating:

Shesez, known for his Boundary Break YouTube series, mentions that the game’s art director ultimately signed off on the idea despite initial reservations. Because of its release also being so close, the Sailor Moon Easter egg was left in. Removing it may have caused a delay.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 received its official Switch eShop page yesterday, allowing fans to pre-load the game. Tucked away inside the description is an interesting note about DLC.

While no specifics have been provided, paid DLC is now confirmed. Nintendo and Next Level Games are planning more content for the ScareScraper and Scream Park modes.

ScareScraper has players racing the timer to clear various objectives on a series of floors. Meanwhile, the ScreamPark party mode involves two to eight players battling against each other as a Luigi team and a Gooigi team while competing to see who can defeat the most ghosts, collect the most coins, or break the most targets.

Fortnite may have another big collaboration in its pocket. Shortly after the game’s 10.31 update released today, dataminers quickly went to work and discovered that a bunch of Batman content appears to be inbound.

New gear, skins, and locations were found, and they could be ready for Batman Day on September 21. One new aspect is the Explosive Batarang that can home in on enemies or stick to walls and explode when other players are within proximity, as well as the Grapnel Gun. Tilted Towers will also be updated to look more in line with Gotham City. Finally, fans can expect new “Welcome to Gotham” challenges that provide rewards such as sprays and a glider for completing tasks that include “light a bat signal.”

Here are a few images from the datamine:
