Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Monster Hunter 4 is on the 3DS, a system which does have its limitations. Despite this, Capcom didn’t make any sort of compromises during development. All of Monster Hunter’s action gameplay has been kept in tact.
Director Kaname Fujioka told Dengeki Online in a new interview:
Tsujimoto [Ryozo, Producer] said “Absolutely let’s not do any trade-off.” On all action segments, you absolutely can’t remove anything if you add something. Our direction was that if 10 was thought to be the maximum, then we continued to add to it in order to transform that maximum into 13.

Inafune has no news to share about Kaio: King of Pirates, up to Marvelous to say something
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Remember Kaio: King of Pirates? It was one of Keiji Inafune’s first efforts – a brand new 3DS title – after leaving Capcom. The strange thing is, we’ve barely seen any updates on the game since its initial announcement.
Inafune recently told Joystiq that the situation is out of his hands, as he and his team only acted as the developer for Kaio. Marvelous was supposed to handle the publishing side of things, but the company has yet to announce a strategy for the game. Any and all inquiries will have to go through them.
Bravely Default: For the Sequel’s name explained, actual sequel “is about getting rid of the concept of turns” and takes place in the same world
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Bravely Default: For the Sequel’s name may seem misleading to some. After all, it’s an upgraded version of the original game released in Japan last year.
Producer Tomoya Asano was asked to explain For the Sequel’s concept and meaning of the name in this week’s Famitsu. He said:
First off let me preface this by saying that along side “For the Sequel” we are moving along with the development of Bravely Default’s sequel. So this game, in anticipation of the sequel, is made to be a “Bravely Default for the purpose of the sequel.” The subtitle, “For the Sequel,” is a direct translation of that concept.

The Pokémon X and Y campaign is on the same level as our Animal Crossing campaign. It’s going to be huge, and starts on TV later this month. We have more Animal Crossing activity, too. There will be a lot of handheld noise this peak season.”
