A while ago, we heard that Masahiro Sakurai was suffering from pain throughout his arm due to RSI. This, he says, is "still a considerable problem": I'm in a lot of pain. I'm in a position where I can't use the mouse at this point, so I'm using the trackball, and as the creative director [...]
In an interview with Kotaku, Masahiro Sakurai has explained that: ...between the two versions [of Smash Bros.] the character structure is the same, and the moves shared between the characters are the same, but the stages are entirely different. ...and: On the 3DS, we've taken the motif of handheld games and then on the Wii [...]

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D was very well-received and sold extremely well. It's only natural, then, to assume that we'd see an update version of Majora's Mask on the 3DS. That hasn't happened yet, of course, but Miyamoto has said that he hasn't forgotten about the possibility. It's not a lot to [...]
The fact that Nintendo is "fixing" StreetPass in USA and Europe was reported last week, but I just got around to publishing this video for people too lazy to read the written explanation. You're welcome.
Nintendo is working on a free-to-play title by bringing back the Steel Diver concept and (assumably) making a bunch of game-bettering tweaks. But could this business model spread to much more popular franchises? Katsuya Eguchi, the lead designer of Animal Crossing: New Leaf had this to say in regards to the franchise: I think the [...]
Everyone in the world was recently able to download a firmware update for the 3DS, but only folks in Europe and Japan received an update to Mii Plaza and the ability to buy four, StreetPass-based games. Whether or not its coming to North America, the only official word is that Nintendo is "looking into it". [...]
Justin from Nintendo World Report asked the following question at the Pokémon X & Pokémon Y roundtable last week: Can you go into more detail on how Mewtwo changes forms, and would you like this new form to appear in the new Smash Bros.? The first part of the question couldn't be answered, but Masahiro [...]
If you can't buy any of the StreetPass-centric titles, or simply want a better look at them before spending any money, check out the videos after the break. They show off StreetPass Garden, Battle, and Mansion.
Remember Steel Diver? Well, it's coming back, and it happens to be that free-to-play title we heard about last week. The game will include multiplayer, and Miyamoto shared the following with IGN: There is something we’re doing with the Steel Diver idea that I think is going to open things up with that game… It’s [...]
Nintendo has shared the first look at Mega Man in Smash Bros. on the 3DS. You can check him out above, then whimper once you remember we still have to wait until next year to play the game.
As we've long become accustomed to, the 3DS is dominating in Japan. The 3DS XL and 3DS took the top two spots in terms of hardware, and as far as software was concerned, these are the ranks: [3DS] Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D [3DS] Tomodachi Collection: New Life [3DS] Chousoku Henkei Gyrozetter: Albatross no Tsubasa [...]

Masahiro Sakurai, the director of the Smash Bros. series, has said that the amount of stress he feels over the selection of the roster is "almost to the brink of death": Because it’s not just a matter of me personally thinking this character or that character is going to be in the game; it’s that [...]
A new firmware update has been released worldwide for the 3DS, but it seems that just folks in Europe and Japan receive four new StreetPass-based games: Squad Garden Battle Mansion I have no idea why they wouldn't be available in North America, but based on what I'm hearing, that is the case. Feel free to [...]

A press release from Nintendo has confirmed that the 3DS was "the best-selling video game hardware platform in the United States in May".
