Remember “Era’s Adventures”? It’s the Android release that took Yoshi from the Nintendo-produced games and throws the character into a random 3D action game.

Nintendo has since got in touch with developer Botond Kopacz, who has confirmed that a new version of Era’s Adventure has been put out. The title now makes use of a character looking slightly less like Yoshi.

“Yes, and they did with rightly since the original Era was Yoshi’s character. The new Era is also similar to Yoshi but we are cooperating with Nintendo about the changes required by them but till that time the only thing that we could do is to re-color it, remove the carapace and some other parts and make some changes in “Eras” head shape.”

Is it just me, or does the character still resemble Yoshi quite a bit?

Ghostlight has now published a more formal blog post regarding the upcoming patch for Devil Survivor Overclocked in Europe.

As was mentioned through the company’s Twitter account yesterday, the fix is almost ready for prime time. It already passed through testing, and it will soon be submitted to Nintendo. Once approved, Ghostlight hopes that the update will be available a couple of weeks after.

I’m relieved to report that the Devil Survivor Overclocked patch has now passed through testing here and a submission to Nintendo is imminent. The key issues regarding Devil Summoning and the Auction House have been fixed and Atlus have also improved the naming convention for characters and demons. Once Nintendo have approved the patch, we are hopeful that it will be available to download from the eShop in the next few weeks.

At this point, a huge thank you should go out to Atlus for their team’s dedication and continued hard work in resolving the reported issues in the game. Also, on behalf of Ghostlight I would once again like to apologise for the inconvenience these bugs have caused and thank you all for your patience while we work towards bringing the patch to the eShop.
