There’s No Escaping Zero: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors Officially part of Zero Escape Series
Torrance, CA (September 19, 2012) – Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment products, announces that the critically acclaimed hit, Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, for the Nintendo DS® will feature a completely redesigned box art in celebration of the newest installment of the Zero Escape series!
Ben Bateman, editor of Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors explains:
For “Zero Escape” we wanted to create a branding umbrella that VLR [Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward], 999, and any future games could rest under comfortably—a little like the “Ace Attorney” brand, if you will. To do that, we thought about what it was that defined 999 and VLR and was common to both games, and eventually settled on the character of Zero and the idea that each game involves a dangerous escape. Hence, Zero Escape, which has the nice, ominous double meaning of “You have zero chance to escape.”

Masuda on the possibility of Black/White 3, 3DS interest, not big on new Pokemon Snap
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
A few more quotes from Pokemon Black/White 2 producer Junichi Masuda can be found below.
Masuda answered questions about a possible Black/White 3 game, discussed his interest in the 3DS, and commented on a request to make another Pokemon Snap for Wii U. Sadly, it doesn’t sound like he’s interested, but he did tease Black/White 2 for the console – sounds like he was joking about that one!
Capcom has high forecasts for Ace Attorney 5, “AAI2 isn’t being held hostage”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Ace Attorney 5 is coming to North America and Europe. What does that mean for Ace Attorney Investigations 2?
Capcom’s Christian Svensson acknowledged that strong sales of AA5 “certainly can’t hurt” the possibility of AA2 localization. He also said that higher sales for upcoming game compared to the company’s internal forecasts would help the franchise.
Svensson went on to speak about the “aggressive” forecasts for Ace Attorney 5.
“AAI2 isn’t being held hostage so please don’t read this that way but if they do well, they certainly can’t hurt. Justification for higher forecasts via stronger than expected sales in the franchise would be helpful.
“Bear in mind… the forecasts for AA5 I’ve put in are aggressive (high) relative to the historical performance of the franchise (needed to make sure it came over), so I’m counting on you guys to not make me a liar.”
