Capcom will be publishing DuckTales Remastered this summer, which is pretty crazy when you think about it. Not many expected the company to touch the NES title at this point.

DuckTales Remastered’s announcement begs the question: could we see releases of classic Disney-Capcom games on the Virtual Console? The answer is no, unfortunately.

Capcom’s Christian Svensson explained why on the company’s official forums:

At the moment, sadly no. Our agreement with Disney is just for Duck Tales in its new form. It does not allow us to rerelease these other projects on new platforms.

Diablo III is making its debut on consoles through the PlayStation 3 and PS4. That being said, Blizzard’s game may not necessarily be exclusive to Sony systems.

In an interview with the Penny Arcade Report, senior producer Julia Humphreys said the following about exclusivity:

“We don’t have any announcements to make at this time … But we’re not necessarily a Sony exclusive.”

Might a Wii U version be possible?

2013 isn’t just the Year of Luigi – it’s apparently the “Year of Tales”, too. Namco Bandai is “making this a Tales of filled year”, according to series producer Hideo Baba.

Baba also teased “a lot of surprise announcements”. He didn’t elaborate on when these are coming or what platforms they’ll be for, but you can bet that we’ll hear something at the Tales of Festival in June.

“We’re planning on making this a Tales of filled year. So we have a lot of surprise announcements lined up — stay tuned!”

Update: Welp, disregard the new Mega Man game news. Capcom’s Brett Elston clarified on Twitter that “discussions are still going”, though the company “will not announce anything until it’s ready”.

Capcom announced 3DS eShop release dates for Mega Man 4 and Mega Man 5 at its “World of Capcom” panel at PAX East today.

Mega Man 4 will arrive on April 25. Mega Man 5 is due on May 16. Capcom also mentioned a June launch for Mega Man 6, but did not provide a release date.

Elsewhere during the panel, Capcom spoke briefly about the Mega Man series in general. Although the company did not have any information to present to fans today, it did tease that a new project is in development. News will hopefully be shared by year’s end.

Square Enix has trademarked “Fantasy Village” in Japan – not to be confused with Level-5’s Fantasy Life 3DS title. The name was filed in relation to video games.

So what might this be? Some kind of Final Fantasy sim title? Something else?
