Masahiro Sakurai delivered a speech at this year’s CEDEC developers conference today. The session, called “Why Do You Make Games?”, lacked Smash Bros. news for the most part. Although, Sakurai did share one small nugget.

Famitsu transcribed the following quote from Sakurai:

“It’s fun making new skills for new characters.”

Well then… Geno confirmed for the next Smash Bros,! Ah, just kidding.

It’s been over five years since The World Ends with You made its debut. However, some of the game’s characters made cameo appearances in Kingdom Hearts 3D, and Tetuya Nomura has expressed interest in returning to the IP on multiple occasions.

Is Square Enix finally returning to The World Ends with You? Quite possibly.

Square Enix has opened a new teaser site, and all indications are that it’s related to the series. First, it uses the same text from The World Ends with You. Second, Nomura and Gen Kobayashi are listed as character designers – both worked on the original game.

Now, there is some speculation that this could be a mobile project… whatever it is. That would certainly be disappointing. Still, nothing is confirmed for now, so we can dream a little!

We’ll be forced to wait a little less than a week before Square Enix officially pulls back the curtain on this mystery. Let’s pray this is a new entry for the 3DS or something.

Renegade Kid’s stance on Dementium hasn’t changed over the past few months. If they were presented with an opportunity to develop another game in the series, co-founder Jools Watsham says the studio would do so “in a heartbeat.”

There’s one important issue that still remains – SouthPeak owns the IP. It’s completely up to the publisher if and when a new Dementium gets made, and so far there hasn’t been any progress in this area.

Jools Watsham wrote on Twitter yesterday:

“The continuation of Dementium relies on SouthPeak’s desire and funds, not ours. We would develop a new Dementium in a heartbeat.”

Watsham has previously said that Renegade Kid has been thinking about creating an original first-person shooter for the eShop. Although it would be a digital release, there would be plans to make the game like a full-fledged retail product.
