Neko Entertainment bringing The Mysterious Cities of Gold to Wii U, 3DS

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments

Neko Entertainment has a new game lined up for the Wii U and 3DS: The Mysterious Cities of Gold.

Perhaps that name sounds familiar to some of you. The project is based on the same French/Japanese animated series that originally aired in the 1980s.

Only a few details about the game are known at present. Players will be able to switch between the heroes Esteban, Zia and Tao, and areas will be shown from a top-down perspective.

The Mysterious Cities of Gold will be available this fall.

Jaleco may have quietly closed its doors

Jaleco could be no more. Kotaku attempted to contact the company’s Tokyo office today, but there was no answer. A recording noted that the service was “no longer in service.” The blog of Jaleco president Takayasu Katou is also nowhere to be found online.

Game Yarou acquired Jaleco in 2009, though it continued to work on games. No website updates have been posted since 2011.

Jaleco delivered the promising but ultra-disappointing Kizuna for Wii. The company has been around since the early days of gaming with titles such as Bases Loaded for the NES.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments

Update 2: Pokemon Company president and CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara and Game Freak director Junichi Masuda are attending.

Update: Kotaku editor Jason Schreier has a few more details. It’s a Pokemon X/Y presentation/Q&A. Time is set for 6 PM PT. Schreier also says that “Nintendo is doing a lot of different E3 events.”

Nintendo won’t be holding a typical press conference at this year’s E3, but the company has scheduled a number of different events for the show.

One happening appears to be a special Pokemon presentation. This will take place during the first night of E3 and will be 1.5 hours long, according to media reports.

Also during E3 are two different hands-on events: one for the media and one for analysts/other business folks. A Nintendo Direct broadcast will be live-streamed on June 11 as well.
