Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Famitsu has gone slightly overboard with its next magazine teaser. The publication will supposedly be unveiling an “amazing” scoop for its September 6 issue. Famitsu will have the latest on other Capcom titles as well including DmC Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 6.
Along with the Capcom scoop, Famitsu will publish an article on Level-5. Whereas the Capcom teaser seems to hint at a big announcement of some sort, it isn’t clear if the feature will contain any big reveals.

Square Enix officially announced The World Ends with You: Solo Remix a couple of days ago. For fans of the series, the news came as a bit of a disappointment since there were high hopes for a brand new entry rather than a port/remake.
Director Tatsuya Kando was interviewed by Famitsu this week and apologized to those who have been waiting for “new developments” regarding The World Ends with You. He also teased that there are “a variety of other things” in the works.
He said:
“For those who were waiting for new developments for TWEWY, sorry to have kept you waiting. Solo Remix is a game with such a high level of completion that you won’t feel that it’s a port. If you play it and post Tweets to Twitter, the world will expand even further. We’re working on a variety of other things, but first please enjoy Solo Remix.”
So… does that mean we can expect a brand new The World Ends with You title in the future? Nah… let’s not go there – best not to create any hype!

No North American Nintendo Direct tomorrow
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct appears to be a Japanese-only affair. Nintendo of America has confirmed that it won’t be broadcasting its own pre-recorded video, and Nintendo of Europe hasn’t announced anything on its end either.
So… keep those expectations in check, folks! It will be a smaller affair compared to June’s presentation.

Tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct isn’t the only important Nintendo-happening of the week. The Big N is also planning on holding a retailer meeting sometime within the next few days.
Sinobi, the source of the news, has high hopes that there will be news on Animal Crossing: Jump Out. Nintendo will likely have a final Japanese release date for this title since it is due for release this fall. There’s a very strong chance that it will have a strong presence at the retail meeting as well as tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct.
Rumor: Telltale to make more Back to the Future games
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors, Wii | 0 comments
Telltale made a number of Back to the Future adventure grahpic games last year. Amid the series’ success, rumor has it that the developer will be returning to the IP in the near future.
One GameSpot reader claims that Doc Brown actor Christopher Lloyd told FanExpo attendees about his plans to once again provide voice work for an unannounced Back to the Future title.
Beyond this, Lloyd had nothing additional to share. Telltale Games is remaining mum for now, saying:
“We are unable to comment on any unannounced titles or projects from Telltale Games.”
Telltale has been focusing on its Walking Dead titles, so we may not receive a confirmation regarding a new Back to the Future game (or series) until that’s all wrapped up. But given the popularity of the first few releases, it wouldn’t be surprising if an announcement is made sooner rather than later.
