Greninja amiibo looking like a Toys “R” Us exclusive
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Everything we’ve been hearing about the Greninja amiibo thus far has indicated that the figure will be exclusive to Toys “R” Us. That would certainly make sense given that Lucario was also exclusive to the retailer. When we receive an official confirmation, we’ll be sure to let you know.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is for New 3DS rather than 3DS, coming to Europe, short clips
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, New Nintendo 3DS, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Now that April Fools’ Day has passed, we can rest easy when it comes to yesterday’s announcement of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth for Wii U and 3DS. It’s really happening. Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez made a point to stress this on his Twitter account a few hours ago.
There is just one important thing that needs to be mentioned: on 3DS, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is planned for New 3DS rather than the original 3DS systems. We also know that Nicalis plans to bring the game to Europe.
Head on below for a collection of Nicalis’ tweets, which also feature a few short clips from The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.

Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem producer talks about the game, shares some insight
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 35 Comments
Shinjiro Takada, producer of Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem (or Illusory Revelations#FE… or whatever you’d like to call it!), recently posted a message about the game in light of today’s Nintendo Direct reveal.
In his note, Takada apologized for the long wait in showing the project. He also talks about how it was difficult for Atlus to incorporate the Fire Emblem aspect, but the team “worked carefully with Nintendo to ensure it’d work well and deliver the feeling you get from the series.”
There’s plenty of additional information in Takada’s lengthy message. You can find it below.
ATLUS,CO.,LTD.
Illusory Revelations ? Fire Emblem – Producer
Shinjiro TakadaGreetings!
It’s nice to meet all of you, or shall I say, see all of you again. This is Shinjiro Takada from ATLUS. Usually, I am responsible for working on the Devil Survivor* series, but this time, I was tasked with working on the production for the upcoming crossover title “Illusory Revelations ? Fire Emblem*”
After over two long years of keeping you waiting, we felt it was finally time to showcase this game. Did you have a look at the new PV*?
This is the result of our collaboration work on the “Fire Emblem” series. I think many people will find it quite different than they had originally expected. Originally, it was very challenging for us to get the “Fire Emblem” aspect into the game, but we worked carefully with Nintendo to ensure it’d work well and deliver the feeling you get from the series.
But, “as long as development of this title conforms with what Intelligent Systems originally would have wanted, and ATLUS develops it and triumphs through it, then ATLUS’ work is good.”It was following that that we were able to come to our conclusion and settle on the concept for this project. As a result of this, “Illusory Revelations ? Fire Emblem” follows the basic axis of what I would say are “Realistic characters who suffer from many conflicts and worries in modern-day Japan” in this RPG. It was capturing the feeling of “Fire Emblem” that was the real challenge during the development of this concept, as this is a collaboration.
