XSEED often receives fan requests to localize certain games on Facebook. Sometimes, the company responds to these inquiries. In the case of UnchainBlades EXXiV, Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode, and Exstetra, there isn’t much good news to report.

All three of these games are unlikely to be localized by XSEED. Here’s what the company said about each:

WayForward has given more insight into Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse’s gameplay.

We previously learned that Shantae has teamed up with Risky Boots after losing her powers in Risky’s Revenge. Players will be collecting Risky’s pirate gear, and they do so, will find Shantae turning into a more pirate-like character.

According to WayForward’s James Montagna:

“Last time, Shantae, at the end of [Risky’s Revenge], found herself completely without her powers—and we’re kicking the game off from there. She has to hesitantly team up with her arch nemesis, Risky Boots, the lady pirate, to take on a greater evil known as the pirate’s curse—but instead of transforming into an animal like she did in previous titles, she is actually collecting Risky’s pirate gear and is slowly becoming more pirate like. In the process, she might even be losing her identity a little bit.”

Bravely Default: For the Sequel is laying the ground work for an actual sequel.

The updated version of the 3DS game was announced a few days ago. It’s making over 100 improvements, including interface enhancements and story changes. These are directly related to Bravely Default’s follow-up, according to producer Tomoya Asano.

Asano told Famitsu this week:

“The improved interface for this game is something we made so we can use it in the sequel, and the story has been changed in sections with an eye for the sequel. So I think you’ll notice some of the threads that we’ll be exploring in the sequel. However, I’m literally in the middle of building the sequel’s story, so I sure can’t give details right now! We’ll be announcing the sequel at a later date, so hopefully people are willing wait a little while longer.”

Bravely Default’s overseas version will be based on For the Sequel. Therefore, players in North America and Europe will be able to experience all of the game’s enhancements.

The Wii U and 3DS weren’t a part of the Pro Pinball: Timeshock! Kickstarter campaign, but the game’s developer was still hoping to make versions for both platforms. Now that the project has officially secured funding, Nintendo releases should be much more possible. The Kickstarter reached the £40,000 goal earlier today with eight days remaining.
