Atlus and NIS America recently terminated their relationship. In Europe, it’s an interesting situation. The two sides no longer working together means NIS America won’t be handling any of Atlus’ releases in Europe going forward.

SEGA SVP of commercial publishing John Clark relayed to MCV that the company is “very interested” in taking over NIS’ role. He said:

“We’re very interested in bringing all of the group’s Japanese content not just to the West, but to Europe in particular. We are always trying to find a way. And that’s an on-going process. That’s something we are continually assessing and talking to and if there are really strong opportunities to support the Japanese content in Europe, we’ll do it.”

You would think that SEGA would want to be in charge here since they’re Atlus’ parent company. Hopefully it all works out in the end!

A new version of Super Mario Maker has gone live. Version 1.43 is available for download now.

Here are the patch notes from Nintendo:

• The Star Ranking list in Course World has been changed to display courses that have received the most stars relative to the number of people who have played them.
  • Previously, when searching for courses in the Star Ranking list, results could be set to either “Weekly” or “All-Time” but will now be limited to “All-Time.”
• “Super Expert” difficulty has been added to the difficulty filters when searching for courses.
• This update (ver1.43) must be downloaded and applied in order to use the Internet features of Super Mario Maker.

Today’s Super Mario Maker update is a 324MB download.
