Project X Zone will take up approximately 3,729 blocks on an SD card. It may vary slightly in Europe and other territories, but that number shouldn’t be too far off. The point is, the game isn’t very big and should easily fit on the card.

Nintendo of America has shown interest in Armikrog, Pencil Test Studios’ new adventure game. It’s pretty unique – the whole thing is made out of clay.

Armikrog was originally announced for PC, OSX, and Linux, but it could be heading to the Wii U eShop as well. Nintendo of America contacted the development team shortly after E3 and expressed interest in the project.

Doug TenNapel, the creator of Earthworm Jim, is working on Armikrog. The creators of The Neverhood are also contributing.

Five days remain for Armikrog’s Kickstarter campaign. It’s only at about $600,000, so some generous donations may be needed to reach the $900,000 target.

Kemco and Exe-Create are bringing “Alphadia Genesis” to mobile devices. It’s a JRPG with a PSOne-like feel, featuring sprites for the world map and 3D character models during battle.

So why would we be mentioning a mobile title here? Well, Alphadia Genesis has a chance of heading to Wii U.

Manager of the mobile business department Masaomi Kurokawa said the following when asked if he thought about bringing the game to consoles:

“I hope so. Since Unity supports other consoles we will try to test it first. If that works well maybe we will bring it to Vita, Wii U, and if PlayStation 4 supports it.”

For an overview of Alphadia Genesis, check out the summary after the break.


Code of Princess wasn’t a huge hit in Japan, with producer Yasuo Nakajima labeling sales as being “so-so”. In North America, however, Nakajima said that the game “sold beyond our expectations.”

He said:

“In Japan, it sold so-so, but in the US Code of Princess sold beyond our expectations.”

Nakajima is interested in creating Code of Princess 2, but it sounds like he’s thinking more about the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as opposed to Wii U. You can read about that here.
