XSEED teasing new game, could be a Senran Kagura game
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
XSEED is teasing a new game reveal. The company posted a message on Twitter, which doesn’t give a whole lot away, but a discovery may narrow down the possible titles.
First, let’s take a look at the Twitter tease:

Now here’s the important bit: XSEED acquired the domain “HanzoNationalAcademy.com” late last month. This is the high school where the entire franchise is based.
So assuming we’re dealing with Senran Kagura here, a big question arises: which game will XSEED be bringing over? It’ll likely be either Senran Kagura Burst or Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus – a title for the PS Vita.

Young Justice: Legacy now hitting Nintendo platforms in November
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Young Justice: Legacy is coming out in September – that is, on non-Nintendo platforms (and PC).
We heard about a delay for the Wii U, Wii, and 3DS versions back in June. Now the news had been made official, and with a new tentative release window.
It did initially seem like a launch would be coming in 2014, but as it turns out, it’s only a two month delay. The official Young Justice: Legacy Facebook page notes:
The Nintendo versions will have the same story from Brandon and Greg and will be using the same art, but will have their own combat style to take advantage of their unique controls. We’ll be showing off some screenshots soon.
However development is running a little behind, so the official release date has been pushed back to November this year. We sincerely apologize for the delay. We appreciate how patient fans of the show have been.

Ubisoft Toronto director says AAA titles can innovate, but it’s going to be “stifled” by costs as we move forward
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Gaming, News | 1 Comment

“I think the big question to me, as the expectations of these big triple-As keep on growing and the consoles become more powerful and teams get bigger, is how do we keep the costs in line? That’s for sure one of the things that is going to stifle innovation eventually. Anytime you want to make a big triple-A, you’re spending, let’s say $100 million, you’re not going to want to take a chance. It’s got to be, I’m making the next Call of Duty or the Assassin’s Creed and I know it’s going to make ‘X’ amount, so we’ll make money. I think that’s the tougher thing.”
– Managing Director of Ubisoft Toronto Jade Raymond
Raymond went on to say that she believes developers need to find new ways to make money if they want to keep making huge, AAA, innovative titles. Budgets like that aren’t conducive to innovation unless you can find another source of revenue.
