3DS

NIS America is a US-centric company, but it has brought over games to Europe before. It will be doing so once again with Etrian Odyssey IV. NIS America announced the title for release in the continent earlier tonight.

Good news: the European launch isn’t far off at all. Etrian Odyssey IV should be out sometime this summer.

Young Justice: Legacy will be released in Europe on September 10.


Ever since Bravely Default: Flying Fairy was announced for Japan, RPG gamers overseas have been praying for a localization announcement. Thus far, Square Enix hasn’t followed through. But Siliconera’s “trusted sources” say that the 3DS title will, in fact, make it to the west.

No word on when an announcement could be made or when the title would release in North America and Europe. Let’s hope this rumor isn’t inaccurate!

Fast & Furious: Showdown will be quite a bit lower in price than the average game. All three console versions will be set at $39.99, according to Amazon, while the 3DS release will be available for $29.99.

Amazon has also shared Showdown’s official boxart. Take a look below:



Fast & Furious: Showdown launches on May 21.


Two Brothers is something that would seem perfect for the 3DS. The game’s Game Boy-esque art style and RPG gameplay would be more than welcome on Nintendo’s portable.

Unfortunately, Two Brothers is only for the Wii U eShop at the moment. While the developer would “love to make a 3DS game as some point”, bringing its upcoming title to the system “would require a complete remake.”

According to AckkStudios producer Andrew Allanson:

“3DS is harder, as it doesn’t support our code base, and would require a complete remake. We would love to make a 3DS game as some point though.”

This is interesting. Nintendo will be holding an all-day 3DS event for the media in just two weeks, according to IGN editor Rich George.

George tweeted a few minutes ago:

Nintendo actually doesn’t have much 3DS software in the pipeline for North America for the second half of 2013. LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins is coming out this month, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is coming in May, and Animal Crossing is due in June. Beyond this, it’s unclear what else is in store. Maybe there will be an announcement or two? Or perhaps this is a chance to highlight more 3DS eShop games?
