XSEED on possible Rune Factory IV localization

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

XSEED was recently asked about the possibility of localizing Rune Factory IV. The company previously brought Rune Factory Frontier to North America.

Responding to the question on its Facebook page, XSEED wrote:

“Hmmm, we’ve had an itch to work on another Rune Factory game since we loved Frontier so much, so let’s see if we can’t grab a back scratcher somehow…”

If XSEED doesn’t release Rune Factory IV in the states, maybe Natsume can. Other than that, I’m not sure about any other companies that would get involved.

Imagineer pleased with Medabots 7 sales

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Medabots 7 was seemingly off to a slow start from a sales perspective. But in its latest fiscal results, Imagineer (which owns publisher Rocket Company), noted that they were pleased with its performance thus far. Imagineer feels that the game has managed to reach longtime fans as well as newcomers.

We don’t have an exact sales number on Medabots 7. Having said that, it should have sold over 100,000 units since launch.
