Pikmin 3 is one of those games that has managed to hold its value since launch. Thinking about it, there haven’t been any major deals since its original release!

You can at least save a bit on Pikmin 3 at Best Buy today. It’s normally priced at $59.99, but the game has been discounted by $12 as part of the retailer’s “Deal of the Day”.

This month’s issue of GamesTM has a small interview with Square Enix producer Ichiro Hazama.

Hazama, who worked on Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, shared a few words about the 3DS game. Most interestingly, he mentioned that Curtain Call is intended to be “the definitive version of Final Fantasy Theatrhythm”.

Here’s his comments in full:

The songs themselves have great quality and stand up on their own, no question. Also, because they are used in games, I think that when people hear these songs they remember a particular scene or moment in the game.

What I’ve tried to do here is make the definitive version of Final Fantasy Theatrhythm; I don’t intend to make any others.
