Picdun sequel due out on the Japanese eShop later this month
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Last year, Intense made GO Series: Picdun for DSiWare. The studio is now working on a sequel for the Japanese eShop.
Picdun 2, much like its predecessor, is a dungeon-crawler. There are 60 floors to go through, and this time around you’ll be accompanied by a magical girl, a being with a whip, and an archer shoots others in their hearts to make them fall in love.
The downloadable title includes an auto-mapping system. Another gameplay element allows players to return to the entrance by taking an elevator that appears every five floors.
When Picdun 2 hits Japan, it’ll carry a CERO B rating. That’s slightly higher than the first game. As for why it’s received a slight bump-up, Intense advises players to try out the game and discover the reason for themselves.
Picdun 2 will be available in Japan on August 22 for 500 yen. We’ll probably be seeing this game overseas fairly soon.
Inazuma Eleven compilation heading to the 3DS
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Level-5 is continuing its efforts with the Inazuma Eleven franchise on 3DS.
It’s been confirmed that Level-5 is readying a new compilation, titled “Inazuma Eleven 1.2.3!! Legend of Endo Mamoru”, that features six DS games on a single cart. Presumably, the package will contain the first game, the two versions of the second and third entries, and The Ogre.
Along with the six games, each has been reformatted with widescreen visuals.
Inazuma Eleven 1.2.3!! Legend of Endo Mamoru launches in Japan on November 15 for 5,800 yen.
Former Turok dev wants to see the N64 games on the Virtual Console
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Former Acclaim/Iguana Entertainment staffer Ryan Tracy recently opened up about the Turok games in a new interview, and also discussed his thoughts on Nintendo releasing the N64 games on the Virtual Console.
You can add Tracy to the long list of people who’d like to see them head to the platform.
He said:
“It would be great to see the games available on that platform if there was enough interest. I’m not sure who owns Turok as of now since Acclaim is no longer around.”
Like Tracy noted, Acclaim was shut down several years ago. That does make things complicated. At this point, Disney may own the Turok IP. Touchstone Games published the last Turok game in 2008, but that company is actually a subsidiary of Disney Interactive Studios.
Thanks to Fred S. for the tip.
