Compared to past years, E3 2019 is starting to look a bit different. Nintendo will still be there, but companies are starting to stray away from conferences – such as EA, who confirmed that news today.
One company we won’t have to worry about is Devolver Digital. The publisher confirmed on social media that it will have a press conference once again, marking the third year in a row it will do so. Last year treated us to a few announcements such as My Friend Pedro for Switch, and it’ll be interesting to see what Devoler Digital has in store for E3 2019.

7th Dragon director interested in a remake of the first game, brand new title
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
This past week, 7th Dragon celebrated its tenth anniversary. Director Kazuya Ninou reflected on the occasion as well as his interest in continuing the series.
Ninou is open to a couple of things. He’d love to remake the first 7th Dragon game as well as create an entirely new title. In fact, he already has everything planned for what the new entry could be.
7th Dragon was made by the now-defunct developer Imageepoch. However, that may not actually be too much of a roadblock. Criminal Girls, another one of Imageepoch’s IPs, has already made a comeback, so Ninou is hoping something similar could happen with 7th Dragon.
