Two more games in SEGA’s new “3D” eShop series have been rated by the OFLC. 3D Sonic the Hedgehog and 3D Altered Beast were both added to the Australian classification database today.

The OFLC already rated 3D Space Harrier earlier this year, and it was playable at MCM London Comic Con. We’re still waiting on a release date, though.

A Hat in Time has joined Kickstarter. Its developer is seeking $30,000 by June 28, and there are stretch goals that go as high as $110,000.

Now, what about a Wii U version of Hat in Time? There are currently talks to bring it to the eShop with the help of a publisher, but while things are very hopeful, nothing is promised.

“…Additionally, we have plans on releasing console versions if everything goes to plan. Being big Nintendo fans ourselves, we are talking with a publisher to help making a Wii U version. However, at this point we are not able to promise anything – so stay tuned and cross your fingers!”

You can find the official A Hat in Time Kickstarter here.

A new report claims that Ubisoft is creating a brand new, realistic racing franchise known as “The Crew”, with a reveal planned for E3 2013. It’s rumored to be in the works for both next-gen and current-gen consoles.

Ubisoft Reflections is said to be heavily involved with The Crew. Ivory Studios is apparently contributing to development as well.

Shin’en is talking about something I’ve been putting out there for a while now: The Wii U’s architecture is fundamentally different from a PS4, PC, or any other console out there. You can’t use the same “engine layout” (as they put it) and get the results you want, so if you want to get the most out of the console you have to be able to put in the extra effort to make an engine that takes advantage of what its strengths are. This is a huge reason why we aren’t seeing third party, multiplatform support on Wii U, and why we generally haven’t seen it on past Nintendo systems.

Hometown Story will be making its first appearance at E3 2013 next month. Natsume announced today that the game will be making its playable debut at the expo.

Natsume president and CEO Hiro Maekawa said:

“We’re very pleased to have a playable version of our new IP, Hometown Story, at this year’s E3. We’ve been able to see the exciting development process of this game during the past year, and are now extremely happy with the chance to share the game with everyone!”

Hometown Story is developed by Harvest Moon creator Yasuhiro Wada. Nobuo Uematsu has composed music for the title while Atsuko Nishida has provided character designs.

Hometown Story begins as players return to their hometown after inheriting their grandmother’s shop. The shop has become run down, but the magical sprite “Pochica” will help you get things back up and running. You’ll meet the unique residents of the town, all of whom grow throughout the game.
