SEGA hasn’t announced the next core entry in the Yakuza series, but the company has pulled back the curtain on a brand new game.
“Yakuza Restoration”, otherwise known as Yakuza Ishin, features a character named Ryoma Sakamoto. And that’s all we know at the moment! Details will be revealed in the upcoming issue of Famitsu.
If you don’t see any updates by Wednesday, that means Yakuza Restoration isn’t coming to Wii U. Any details will be posted on our sister site regardless.

Capcom more willing to create additional “Remastered” games if DuckTales does well
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 10 Comments
DuckTales Remastered just launched, but fans remain curious about the possibility of additional “Remastered” games. Capcom could opt to remake another entry in the DuckTales series or something else entirely.
That being said, such potential projects depend on the success of DuckTales Remastered. If that game flops, don’t count on similar releases.
Capcom’s “JimmyRey” recently said, “The better DT does, the more likely we’ll do another.”

Typically, we shy away from posting news about the Pokemon anime and movies since they don’t have much to do with gaming. In this case, however, there is a direct relation.
Pokemon: The Origin is based directly on the video games. Red and Green will star in the anime, which airs in Japan on October 2. Whether this is simply a special or a series of its own remains to be seen.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team staff on cut Luigi attack, tough development, AlphaDream/Nintendo collaboration, old Mario
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
As is the case for development on most games, AlphaDream cut a number of ideas while working on Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. One such idea was a volcano Luigi attack – tons of little Luigis would take on a volcanic form, erupt, and attack enemies.
The idea may have “looked cool”, as Hiroyuki Kubota explained to Kotaku, “but it wasn’t going to control very well”.
“It was something that once we came up with the prototype for, played around a little bit. We realized it looked cool, but it wasn’t going to control very well, so that was something we had to strike out.”
To say that Mario & Luigi: Dream Team went through a difficult and length development cycle would be an understatement. The game was made between two platforms and went through seven versions over a four year process, right after Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story was completed.
