After attending Nintendo’s presentation at the Full Indie Summit this past weekend, Slick Entertainment founder Nick Waanders took to Twitter and shared enthusiasm about the Big N’s new indie stance. He tweeted that he now has interest in releasing a game for the Wii U and 3DS, though he didn’t confirm projects for either platform.

Waanders wrote:

Slick Entertainment made Scrap Metal for the Xbox Live Arcade back in 2010. It also worked on N+ for the platform as well as Shellrazer for iOS.

Mother 3 has never been published in the west. But with Nintendo’s semi-recommitment to the series with the recent EarthBound Wii U Virtual Console announcement for the west, perhaps it has a chance of one day heading westward.

The localization process could be eased through a fan project completed in 2008. Clyde Mandelin, who led the efforts and has been known for his work at FUNimation, is now offering the entire translation to Nintendo for free.

Mandelin wrote in a blog post:

I realize that localizing a game this size can cost a lot, so if it’ll help in even the slightest, I’ll gladly offer to let Nintendo use my text translation files for any use at all, completely for free. I’ll even edit the files to fit whatever new standards are necessary (content, formatting, memory size, etc.), completely for free. I’ll even retranslate everything from scratch if need be. Just whatever it takes to get an official release out.

It might seem unlikely for a legitimate company to use a fan translation or work with fan translators, but it has happened before – Ys: The Oath in Felghana is one recent example. It’s more common among visual novel games at the moment, but I believe this sort of thing will only become more and more common over time. Only when the works in question are up to a certain standard of quality, of course.

This sounds pretty good to me! We’d love to see Mother 3 in the west…

Square Enix already released a remake of Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry’s Wonderland. Could the company now be working on a remake for its sequel?

In Japan, Square Enix registered a trademark for “Iru to Ruca no Fushigi na Fushigi na Kagi”, a move that could suggest a remake of Dragon Quest Monsters 2.

Square Enix originally distributed two versions of Dragon Quest Monsters 2. The remake would likely encompass both.

A few months ago, a Wii U listing of the Karateka remake popped up on the ESRB. The game’s launch came and passed… yet there was no news about it heading to the eShop.

We contacted the game’s developer to find out just what was happening, and whether or not Karateka would ever arrive on the Wii U.

Producer Heather D’Evelyn told us that Karateka was considered for the platform “at the beginning of the project but never went into development.” D’Evelyn added that there are no plans to bring the game to the Wii U at this time.

This makes you wonder why Karateka was ever listed for the Wii U on the ESRB, doesn’t it? Ah well…

LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins is out now in North America. If you’re looking to purchase the game through the eShop, you’ll need roughly 5,900 blocks of space on an SD card. That’s fairly small compared to some of other recent retail releases!
