There at least a couple of additions to the 3DS version of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers. The latest issue of Famitsu reports that the game will feature thirty new demons and StreetPass support.

Players will be able to see the Nemecchi demon evolve through StreetPass. It’ll start off as a wisp-looking creature, but once it levels up, it’ll transform into a cat-like being.

Even though Crytek doesn’t have a game in development for Wii U, the company still has high praise for the console. CEO Cevat Yerli had some very nice things to say about its power and the hardware overall while speaking with CVG.

When discussing Wii U, Yerli explained the reasoning as to why the studio isn’t working on the platform directly. He also teased a mystery title “from a respected developer that we will be announcing.” This project is apparently running on CryEngine 3.

Yerli said:

Capcom has already started to go big on Street Fighter’s 25th anniversary with a Collector’s Set, celebratory website, and other promotions.

However, it has practically forgotten about another important IP that will be hitting the same milestone. Along with Street Fighter, Mega Man will be turning 25 this year.

Fans will be delighted to hear that Capcom still has plans for the Blue Bomber’s 25th anniversary. The thing is, there probably won’t be any news until December,

Community manager Brett Elston and Seth Killian commented on the anniversary during an “Ask Capcom” Q&A event, noting:

“I feel like December’s a good time. It also gives us time to focus on Street Fighter’s 25th anniversary which is in August.

“But yeah, we’ll most likely have something to say about the anniversary in December. But as to what it is, we’re still discussing that. We had a meeting not long ago… very much happening inside those walls.”

Seth Killian also joked, “Yeah that’s right; stay out of our anniversary, Mega Man weirdos!”

Nintendo of Europe today announced that David Yarnton will be leaving the company.

While that name may not ring a bell for everyone, Yarnton has been working with Nintendo for nearly twenty years. He’s held positions at the UK and Australian offices.

Yarton most recently held the General Manager of Nintendo UK position.

Nintendo of Europe’s president, Satoru Shibata, and the UK senior management team “will be actively involved in the running of the UK office until a replacement is announced”.

The company prepared the following statement concerning Yarton’s departure:

“Nintendo of Europe announces with regret that David Yarnton has decided to pursue opportunities for a change of career outside Nintendo and therefore will shortly be leaving the company. David has had a distinguished career of almost 20 years at Nintendo, first as Sales Director of Nintendo Australia and then, since 2003, as General Manager of Nintendo UK. Nintendo wishes him every success in his choice of new career. Mr Shibata, European President of Nintendo, will be working alongside the UK’s senior management team and will be actively involved in the running of the UK office until a replacement is announced.”

It was rather odd seeing a lack of Japanese Wii U games at E3 2012. That doesn’t mean that Japanese developers aren’t interested in the system, however.

Famitsu interviewed a number of high-profile creators in its latest issue, including Yoshinori Ono, Suda 51 (who had promised No More Heroes 3 for Nintendo’s new console a few years ago!), Keiji Inafune, Akihiro Hino, and more. Head past the break to see what they had to say about the system.
