Senran Kagura producer wants to release Burst overseas through the eShop
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Senran Kagura producer Kenichiro Takaki has hopes of releasing Senran Kagura Burst in the west.
Takaki believes the best option at this point would be to bring the game over through the 3DS eShop. Takaki said that this may be possible “when Nintendo further builds up their infrastructure for downloadable games”.
“Of course, we’d like to release it overseas. But, one of the most important things about the game it’s not just an action game, it’s also very sexualized. What we would like to do, when Nintendo further builds up their infrastructure for downloadable games, is release it as a downloadable title.”
Recent Mass Effect news fabricated
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Recent news regarding the Mass Effect franchise has proven to be inaccurate. BioWare had apparently made statements confirming a late 2014 to early 2015 launch for the next entry in the series, and there had also been talk about future Wii U support.
Now GamerSyndrome – the original source of the interview – has updated its story, all but confirming that the Q&A was fabricated.
“This interview has been removed. The information provided previously by the author of this post was deemed to be obtained from an inaccurate source and NOT an official Bioware or EA interview response. We apologize for the inconvinience.” [sic]
BioWare community manager Tully Ackland added a denial of his own:
“Just want to make it clear as I’ve had a few questions. Any rumours of release dates for our next Mass Effect project are completely false.”
It’s unclear why the interview was published in the first place. Just keep in mind that any updates you’ve read about Mass Effect over the past few days or so is likely untrue.

Famitsu readers reveal what they want for the holidays
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Famitsu readers were asked this week what they would want to get as a holiday gift, and many of the responses (understandably, given Famitsu’s audience) were related to video games:
“For a friend, I’d like to get Borderlands 2. We could play co-op over New Years!” – 18 year-old male high school student
“I think Animal Crossing: New Leaf would be perfect as a gift for a friend who doesn’t play video games very much, since it lets you play casually at your own pace. I want to enjoy the village life together. Plus the characters are so cute!” – 33 year-old female part-time worker
“I want to give the Resident Evil series! Playing together with a romantic partner would be more exciting than watching a horror movie.” – 25 year-old self-employed male
“I think for this season, the Wii U is a no-brainer. It’s just been released and now’s the time when it’ll be the hottest item.” – 25 year-old male company worker
“The Nintendo 3DS is perfect since it has a lot of games with network play. It’d be a lot of fun to play with the person you give it to!” – 16 year-old male high school student
“My husband is a huge fan of the Yakuza series, so I’m sure he’d love it if I gave him Yakuza 5.” – 40 year-old self-employed female.
“I’m giving my girlfriend a PlayStation 3, since she doesn’t have one. Now’s a good time since the price has dropped.” – 36 year-old male company worker
“I’m giving a PlayStation network card to buy downloadable games with. The software lineup has gotten bigger and that way they can choose whatever they want.” – 24 year-old male part-time worker
Sounds like games are the way to go for a lot of folks in Japan! I wonder if the same holds true in the states… probably not!

Sakurai keeping quiet on next Smash Bros., talks Twitter whiners and more
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Masahiro Sakurai is keeping quiet on the next Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. In a Famitsu column, he told fans that they’ll have to “wait a while longer.” He’s been thinking about cutting down on his tweets “and start putting in a real effort here.” He thinks it’d be best “if I could be forgotten about by gamers for awhile.”
Sakurai also talked about how his tweets tend to result in speculation about the new Smash Bros., talked about Fox’s inclusion in past games, and more.
Read on below for Sakurai’s comments.
