Last week, Nintendo announced an entirely new action RPG called Ever Oasis. It comes from Grezzo and is being led by director/producer Koichi Ishii. Having worked on Final Fantasy and the Mana series, Ishii certainly has an impressive pedigree.
Nintendo UK has now shared a message from Ishii about Ever Oasis on its website. We’ve included the full note below.
I’m very happy we were able to introduce Ever Oasis to you all.
This game is set in a desert. The lead character will venture out as chief of the desert oasis along with his partner, the water nymph Isuna, to expand the oasis.

Yes, Sonic Team is developing a new Sonic game
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 57 Comments
SEGA has dropped plenty of not-so-subtle hints that a new Sonic game is in the works. As if any other confirmation was needed, Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka told Famitsu this week outright that “a completely new game” is happening. That’s in addition to a new movie from Sony and the ongoing Sonic Boom show.
Iizuka’s words in full:
We at Sonic Team – are developing a completely new game, as well as developing a full movie, actively done by Sony Pictures, and animation on Sonic Boom. We are also ready to improve sponsor ties. The most important thing is not the fact the series survived for 25 years, but how many games was developed. Our goal – add something new and overcome any potential hardships.
Many are anticipating that the new Sonic game will be unveiled during a 25th anniversary party on July 22.

Warner Bros. has brought several games to Wii U over the company’s lifespan, and it looks like that support will continue with NX. In an interview with GamesBeat, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad addressed a question about making games for the new systems on the way, including NX. He mentioned that the publisher has “great relationships with all the console platforms” and will “play a role in each of them.”
Warner Bros. was at Wii U’s launch with games such as Scribblenauts Unlimited and Batman: Arkham City – Armored Edition. That support has continued through to the present. In fact, next week, the company will ship LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Wii U.
