The DS is an old platform at this point, but that’s not stopping people from making new games for it, apparently. The latest game we’ve heard about is Orion’s Odyssey, which is a simple puzzle game based around a sort of tanagrams-esque game mechanic, and it’s asking for $85,412 to get released on the DS as a retail game. According to the developers, the game is already finished and simply needs to the support of their publisher– who says they’ll hop on board if the Kickstarter goal is met– to get released.

If you want to suppose Orion’s Odyssey, check out their Kickstarter page.

Nintendo published a lengthy Fire Emblem: Awakening interview today. Nope, it’s not another Iwata Asks. Instead, 8-4 Ltd., a company that handled a great deal of the 3DS game’s localization aspects, chatted with members of the development team.

You can find the full interview here. It contains lots of interesting talk about Awakening’s development and more, so be sure to check it out!

So this is kind of an odd thing to talk about, but it is what it is.

We all know that Amazon has had a strained relationship with Nintendo when it comes to hardware. For whatever reason, the retailer won’t sell 3DS and Wii U systems in the US directly. Reggie Fils-Aime wouldn’t talk about the matter when asked about the situation in September of last year, and Amazon hasn’t said much either.

What’s interesting is that Amazon is now encouraging consumers to consider competitor products on Nintendo’s hardware pages. The 3DS listing tells visitors to “Also consider the PlayStation Vita” complete with a comprehensive banner at the top while the Wii U page informs buyers about the “just announced” PlayStation 4 and gives alternative console options to mull over. And in case you were wondering, there aren’t similar listings on the PS Vita, PS3, or Xbox 360 product pages.

If you want to play Shin Megami Tensei IV, you’ll need to fork over a bit of extra cash. The game will cost a bit more than the average 3DS title.

In its localization announcement earlier today, Atlus confirmed that Shin Megami Tensei IV will be a $49.99 game. It’s not often that we see 3DS titles priced that high, and it’s a fairly niche game, so it’ll be interesting to see how well it performs on the market.
