The translation we posted last night regarding Yoshinori Ono’s hospitalization last night was somewhat wonky. He was indeed taken to the hospital, but he’s doing just fine.

An official Capcom blogpost says that it wasn’t too serious.

The message reads:

Regarding Street Fighter X Tekken producer Ono, immediately after the SFxT announcement event
He quickly felt very sick and fainted.
He was brought to the hospital and currently isn’t in a condition to come to work.
Happily, it hasn’t ended up as being severe, so let’s hope for a easy recuperation

About that XSEED tease yesterday – we can pretty much say with certainty now that they were teasing UnchainBlades ReXX localization.

But here’s where things get interesting. “Unchained Blades” is listed in Nintendo Power under the “Download” section of the magazine. This would have to mean that XSEED will be releasing what was a full Japanese retail game on the eShop, something we’ve never seen before.

Hopefully we’ll get more information on this soon!

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

When it comes to multiplatform games, the Wii version in typically placed on the backburner or is handed off to a different development team. That’s not the case with Epic Mickey 2.

With Epic Mickey 2, Wii is the lead platform for the project. Junction Point is working on the version for Nintendo’s console while Blitz Games Studios is handling the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 versions.

I suppose this shouldn’t come as a surprise, as the series did start off as a Wii exclusive. Nonetheless, it’s nice to know that the Wii version is in good hands even though Epic Mickey 2 will be a multiplatform release.

We’ve been hearing some conflicting reports about the Wii U’s power and visual capabilities over the past few months. However, based on recent comments from Darksiders II game director Marvin Donald, Nintendo’s upcoming console will be very comparable to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Regarding the Wii U version of Darksiders II, Donald said that the team will be taking advantage of the tablet controller. But they won’t be “uprezzing” the game, and the resolution, textures, polycounts and similar things of that nature will remain the same.

Speaking about the hardware behind Wii U, Donald noted that it has “been on par with what we have with the current generation’s”.

Donald said:

“Uh, so far, so good. We have limitations based on Nintendo’s progress, but, you know, that really has, the only problem that’s been for us is, you know, not having an actual release date. But once we know when the Wii U has, when Nintendo has commited to a firm date, you know, we will be able to commit to a date for Darksiders II, but we’re planning on it being a launch title, and so far everything’s been smooth sailing.

“We got the game running on their hardware pretty quickly, and the controller’s been great to work with, now it’s just down to deciding what we really want to do to make it a unique experience on the Wii U. You know, taking advantage of you know the extra screen and the touch capability and all that. So, you know, so we’ll have a few new feature for sure, but I think visually, for the most part, it’ll be pretty much the same.

“You know, so far the hardware’s been on par with what we have with the current generation’s. Based on what I understand, the, you know, the resolution and textures and polycounts and all that stuff, we’re not going to being doing anything to uprez the game, but we’ll take advantage of the controller for sure.”

Capcom’s Street Fighter producer, Yoshinori Ono, is currently in the hospital. An official message on the company’s Japanese blog  notes that Ono was brought to the hospital following a promotional event for Street Fighter X Tekken in Asia.

The translated message in full:

“I would like to bring something else to everyone’s attention. Shortly after the Street Fighter X Tekken promotion in Asia Ono-san’s physical condition rapidly and heavily deteriorated and he had to be taken to the hospital.

“Because of his hospital tenure he will not be performing work-related affairs for a while. Ono’s well-being is very important to us and we wish for his steady recovery.”

Capcom did not specify Ono’s current status, but the notice does imply that he’s in stable condition. We definitely hope that’s the case. Get well soon, sir!

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
