Inafune has no news to share about Kaio: King of Pirates, up to Marvelous to say something
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Remember Kaio: King of Pirates? It was one of Keiji Inafune’s first efforts – a brand new 3DS title – after leaving Capcom. The strange thing is, we’ve barely seen any updates on the game since its initial announcement.
Inafune recently told Joystiq that the situation is out of his hands, as he and his team only acted as the developer for Kaio. Marvelous was supposed to handle the publishing side of things, but the company has yet to announce a strategy for the game. Any and all inquiries will have to go through them.
Bravely Default: For the Sequel’s name explained, actual sequel “is about getting rid of the concept of turns” and takes place in the same world
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Bravely Default: For the Sequel’s name may seem misleading to some. After all, it’s an upgraded version of the original game released in Japan last year.
Producer Tomoya Asano was asked to explain For the Sequel’s concept and meaning of the name in this week’s Famitsu. He said:
First off let me preface this by saying that along side “For the Sequel” we are moving along with the development of Bravely Default’s sequel. So this game, in anticipation of the sequel, is made to be a “Bravely Default for the purpose of the sequel.” The subtitle, “For the Sequel,” is a direct translation of that concept.

The 3DS will be receiving a significant advertising push from Nintendo this year. The company be looking to promote the handheld’s newest iteration, the 3DS. Additionally, Pokemon X/Y will receive advertising support starting this month, and Nintendo will place a continued emphasis on Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Nintendo UK marketing director Shelly Pearce told MCV:
“We saw an opportunity for an entry level gaming device. 2DS will have its own TV campaign and it will feature in our Pokémon advertising. The Pokémon X and Y campaign is on the same level as our Animal Crossing campaign. It’s going to be huge, and starts on TV later this month. We have more Animal Crossing activity, too. There will be a lot of handheld noise this peak season.”
Here’s a little fact that may surprise you: Animal Crossing: New Leaf has seen more ads than any other game this year.

Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths was always a sure thing for the Wii U and 3DS, but a Kickstarter for the new video game launched last week in hopes of providing a better localizing effort.
The campaign goal has since been reached after funds reached $30,000. As a result, Secret Paths will be fully localized in English with voice-acting dubbing of cinematic scenes and dialogue. Spanish subtitles will also be included, and a PC port has been guaranteed.
There’s still 23 days remaining in the Kickstarter campaign. If donations exceed $40,000, the team will add in Italian, German, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Swedish subtitles. There are also plans for a free Polish translation thanks to some assistance from a professional translator fan.

Nintendo’s announcement for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Limited Edition listed a MSRP of $54.99. However, GameStop ended up charging consumers $59.99.
Some fans were curious about the discrepancy, and therefore decided to write in to the retailer’s customer service center for answers. GameStop did respond, and noted that its pricing is “based on many factors including current demand, features and availability.” While it’s true that MSRP usually indicates pricing, the message indicated that this isn’t always so.
The message in full states:
