Namco Bandai community rep impressed with Project X Zone interest
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Project X Zone seems like one of those games that would be more difficult to localize compared to other Japan-only titles. It’s arguably very niche, and features a ton of different IPs – which could make it difficult to bring to North America and Europe.
Having said that, Namco Bandai is aware of Project X Zone fan interest overseas. Community strategist Rich Bantegui had the following exchange with a fan, noting that he’s “blown away by the amount of interest in the title.”
@videogame554 Sup Anthony, just like my recent answer – I havent heart any news. But im blown away by the amount interest in the title.

Last we heard, Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada said he was pushing hard for localization. If that’s still the case and the fans remain interesting, maybe Project X Zone will head to North America and/or Europe one day.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
A whole slew of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon details can be found below. Also be sure to view new screenshots and artwork which we posted earlier today.
– Each location Luigi visits is broken down into a series of missions provided by Professor E. Gadd
– Luigi will receive a checklist of objectives, with waypoints coming courtesy of a DS-esque device that features a full map
– Tasks are usually straightforward, but not always simple
– Ex: to obtain an attachment for the Poltergust 5000 vacuum, need to go through different rooms, search for hidden pathways, keys and treasure, while battling ghosts which continuously block your path or steal what you seek
– Cash and gems more important than ever
– These contribute to a mission-by-mission score based on clearance time, ghosts defeated, cash acquired and more
– They’re also used for vacuum upgrades
– According to Nintendo there isn’t a store you specifically use
– Tweaked flash-then-capture system
– Different ghosts have been designed to test Luigi’s various capabilities
– Ghosts can vanish quickly
– In these cases, you’ll need to be quick in switching from strobe to vacuum
– Other ghosts have ranged attacks, punishing you if you attempt to drain their life for too long
– Some spirits wear sunglasses
– Need to stun them with a flash and remove their glasses first
– Within the first few missions, Luigi receives a new attachment to his vacuum and the Dark-Light Device
– Dark-Light Device: uncover hidden objects and enemies
– Everything above takes place within the span of a couple missions within the first mansion
– Creaky, twisted location called the Old Clockwork Mansion is in the game

Bravely Default technically got a sequel in the form of that PC game no one really cared about. But now it seems like Square Enix is gearing up to make a true follow-up to the 3DS game.
Producer Tomoya Asano is looking to receive fan feedback for the next entry. Asano has already come up with a list of 100 questions and suggestions made by fans, and is now asking these same fans how much they would they these ideas become realized. Each point can be answered with “Strongly Agree”, “Agree”, “Disagree”, “Strongly Disagree”, and “Indifferent”.
Square Enix will be closing the questionable on December 20. It will then mull over the feedback received for the next Bravely Default.
Suggestions include:
