It’s been a very, very long time since a mainline Final Fantasy game came to a Nintendo home console. But if GamesMaster UK is to be believed, the situation will change with Final Fantasy XV.

The magazine claims that Square Enix will hold a press conference at E3 2012. During the event, they’ll announce Final Fantasy XV for Wii U, as well as the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

This is just speculation at this point. Magazine rumors tend to be hit or miss, so take this with a grain of salt.

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Jupiter is finishing a second Picross title for the eShop, Picross e2. The game launches in Japan next week for 500 yen.

Picross e2 features 150 new puzzles, an enhanced interface, and a “Micross” mode in which players work through a series 10×10 puzzles. You’ll receive an illustration based off world famous paintings once all of the puzzles have been completed. Five illustrations in total are included in the game.

Meanwhile, overseas fans are still waiting for the first Picross eShop release. Jupiter indicated last month that it will be available in Europe first, and then they’ll consider bringing it to the North American store.

The biggest challenge in bringing Tales of the Abyss to the 3DS

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Tales of the Abyss wasn’t originally made for the 3DS. The game was first released for the PlayStation 2 in 2006.

Because Tales of the Abyss isn’t a completely new title built from the group up for Nintendo’s new handheld, the development team encountered the challenge of implementing 3D “effectively on a finished product’s port which is not made with data considering 3D depictions.”

Tales series producer Hideo Baba discussed this challenge in an interview with Siliconera:

“Our biggest challenge was using 3D effect effectively on a finished product’s port which is not made with data considering 3D depictions. In order to give a comfortable 3D experience, we had to adjust our 3D features one by one. How speech bubbles appear onscreen, how characters’ poses looked during events, etc, all had to be adjusted one by one. In the end, I believe we were able to present it comparable to the original version as much as possible.”

I can’t help but feel as though this game is pointless on the eShop. Tetris Party Live for DSiWare is a much better offering and contains more features. Plus, it’s only a dollar extra!
