Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward suffered from a significant bug when it launched last year. All 3DS retail copies came with an issue that caused save corruption and game crashing.
Aksys finally published Virtue’s Last Reward on the eShop last week. As it turns out, this version comes without the bug. Now the question is: will the retail version finally be patched to address the glitch?
Level 5’s official Layton 7 and Wonder Flick overviews
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Level-5 International America followed up on the company’s Japanese “Vision” announcements made earlier today. Overviews of two new titles, Layton 7 and Wonder Flick, were provided in an official recap.
First, here’s what Level-5 said of Layton 7:
LAYTON 7 is a puzzle game for the new generation that follows in the footsteps of the PROFESSOR LAYTON series, which has now shipped over 15 million units worldwide. Players take on various character roles; you may be a taxi driver, a young boy, a dog, a fine lady, a philanthropist, an elderly man, or even a zombie. The player will earn points as they fulfill a given role. But, what is the role of these characters? And what is the greater meaning of these roles to begin with? The latest title in the LAYTON series is shrouded in mystery and is about to begin! The game is being developed for Nintendo 3DS and iOS / Android devices as part of our UNIPLAY line-up. Release date has yet to be determined.
And here’s Wonder Flick:
WONDER FLICK is the latest full-scale role-playing game from LEVEL-5 and the inaugural UNIPLAY title. The production team consists of Akihiro Hino, who developed the concept and leads the project as producer / director, character designers Takuzo Nagano and Nao Ikeda, and musical compositions by Nobuo Uematsu, world-renowned for his contributions to game orchestrations. The player, “the fortunate one,” washes ashore in Grimnarth, a world that everyone dreamed of, yet no one has ever seen – an enormous land, scattered with dungeons and towns. A land where a monarch seeks aid in order to save his kingdom. A world of peril, where monsters and kings among dragons await. Where the success or failure of a journey depends on the deft execution of skills in critical moments, and fortunes are made from the rare treasures sealed in their chests. A wealth of equipment to customize one’s hero. The borrowing and lending of friends and their characters to form alliances. Everything that defines a traditional RPG is found in WONDER FLICK – the most sprawling yet accessible original fantasy RPG in the history of LEVEL-5. The game is planned for release in November 2013 on iOS and Android devices in Japan. Console releases (PS Vita / PS3 / PS4 / WiiU / Xbox One) are scheduled for 2014 in Japan.

Eshiro now says Phoenix Wright – Dual Destines won’t be getting a physical release overseas
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies will not be released overseas as a physical product, according to producer Motohide Eshiro.
Eshiro shared the following in a new Capcom-Unity interview:
In response to fan feedback we looked into a western physical release of Dual Destinies but from the beginning of the project, one of our goals has been to bring the game to the western market much more quickly than we have been able to in the past. As text adventures, the Ace Attorney games require a lot of time for localization, so we really moved the proverbial mountains and had a lot of people work very hard to get the text localized as quickly as possible—while of course maintaining the high quality level fans are accustomed to.
As part of this, we made the decision to release on digital only in the west in order to take manufacturing time out of the equation and allow the release date to be as early as possible. So the answer is, no, Dual Destinies will be a digital download-only release in the west.
Capcom announced that the publisher would be bringing Dual Destinies to the west in May. The news was met with some backlash due to the eShop-only launch. Just a couple of months ago, however, Eshiro left the door open to a physical version. It sounds like such a possibility is no longer in the cards.
