Harmonix finally announced Rock Band 4, a game that has long been rumored to be in development. Sadly though, today’s news came with a confirmation that the game won’t be either Wii U (and Wii, which had to have been expected at this point).

Harmonix explained in a forum post that this is because of “shifting production priorities and capabilities of the studio”. The company further added that the team “had to prioritize opportunities on other platforms with historically larger RB audiences.”

The full explanation is as follows:

When publishers don’t step up to the plate and bring their Japanese games to overseas territories, that’s usually when fans start taking action. We’ve seen plenty of fan translations over the years, and one enthusiast is now focusing his efforts on a 3DS RPG that has yet to be localized: Dragon Quest VII.

Reddit user “apassingremark” shared a few screenshots from his work on translating certain content from Dragon Quest VII yesterday. While he’d like to complete a full translation, his efforts will likely be limited to elements such as item names, spell names and monster names. That’s because “the game’s script is locked away”, and he’s unsure how to access it.

apassingremark has no estimate as to when his translation would be available. He’s also unsure how it would be distributed to the public at large. Still, this is an admirable effort, and hopefully Dragon Quest VII fans in the west will eventually be able to play through the RPG.

Yesterday we received confirmation that 3D Out Run is coming to the North American 3DS eShop next Thursday. Since SEGA’s 3D Classics tend to arrive on the same day worldwide, it was pretty much assumed that the date would apply to Europe as well. Now we now that this will in fact be the case.

The European eShop is listing 3D Out Run for release on March 12. Pricing is set at €4.99.
