Update (6/16): Image & Form has all but confirmed the bundle’s existence, promising news in the future.

Image & Form appears to have plans to bring SteamWorld Bundle to Wii U. That’s according to a rating that’s appeared on the USK, Germany’s ratings board. I suppose Image & Form will have something to say about this officially soon!

We all know that Dragon Quest is a massive hit in Japan. When it comes to the west though, the series hasn’t seen the same sort of success. Square Enix’s Yu Miyake shared two reasons as to why this is the situation we’re in.

Miyake first told Polygon:

“There’s two main reasons. The first is that, in Japan, the Famicom was kind of the moment that video games became part of families, and people really started bringing them into their homes.”

“In the West, we feel like PlayStation is where home consoles really caught on with Final Fantasy 7, so Final Fantasy has that foundation … where it really captured the hearts of gamers.”

Miyake also pointed to the “cartoonish style” from character designer Akira Toriyama as a turnoff for overseas gamers.
