Natsume confirmed River City: Tokyo Rumble’s localization in April. Since then, the publisher has been sticking to a “Summer” release window – until recently.

Today, Natsume put out a tweet which reveals River City: Tokyo Rumble North American launch window of September. On top of that, retailers may give a clue about a specific date. Play-Asia flat-out claims that River City: Tokyo Rumble is scheduled for September 13. And interestingly enough, GameFly has the same date.

At the very least, River City: Tokyo Rumble is coming in September. September 13 could be the final date. Note that the game will be seeing a limited physical run in North America, but will be digital-only in Europe.

At BitSummit last month, Kotaku caught up with PlatinumGames co-founder Atsushi Inaba. Inaba touched on a variety of topics, including the company’s future plus interest in developing sequels.

Here’s what Inaba had to say about the latter, which prompted him to mention Bayonetta 3:

“For any time, if we have the chance to make a sequel, we want to do it. There is no title we don’t want to make a sequel for. So, of course, we want to make Bayonetta 3 and Vanquish 2. So, yes, we want to make sequels.”

Hideki Kamiya, who created Bayonetta, has also been vocal about wanting to see a third game happen. At E3, he said it’s “actually something I’ve been thinking a lot about” and Platinum has “talked a lot about it internally”.

Data obtained by MCV reveals that 3DS XL and 2DS sales have risen 222 percent and 234 percent in the UK, in comparison to the same period last year. The boost can be attributed to the continued success of Pokemon GO.

Also in large part due to the mobile title’s success, Pokemon games on 3DS are still selling well. MCV reports that Nintendo was the top boxed games publisher in the UK last week. Ten of the top 50 games were from the company, including Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (No.11), Omega Ruby (No.18), X (No.25) and Y (No.29). Pokemon titles sold roughly 9,000 units.

MCV adds that sales of Pokemon trading card, toys, and clothes are also experiencing a boost. Pokemon Sun/Moon pre-orders “have also increased significantly.”
