Looks like Unchained Blades will definitely be heading to the eShop. Interesting…
Torrance, Calif., (March 28, 2012) – XSEED Games, an independent-minded publisher, is pleased to announce today that the company will be bringing the dungeon-crawling RPG title, Unchained Blades, to gamers in North America on both the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system and the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system in 2012. Originally released as UnchainBlades ReXX in Japan last summer and developed by FuRyu,Unchained Blades is a role-playing game set in a monster-filled world, and was directed by Toshio Akashi of the Lunar series, while the game’s story was penned by Grandia series veteran Takashi Hino.
“We at XSEED Games are delighted with the opportunity to bring a title like Unchained Blades to North American gamers,” said Ken Berry, Director of Publishing at XSEED Games. “Unchained Blades represents a collaboration between some of Japan’s most high-profile developers and artists, offering a unique blend of classic RPG gameplay paired with an eclectic mix of art styles.”

Darksiders II art director: Wii U is a pretty powerful machine
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
The story of Wii U’s power is every-changing. One day we hear that it’s twice as powerful as the Xbox 360, whereas tomorrow we may hear that it’s just two N64 systems and an Expansion Pack duck-taped together. That’s obviously an exaggeration, but you get the idea.
There was a recent comment from Darksiders II game director Marvin Donald about Wii U being on par with the current hardware generation. But a quote from art director Han Randhawa has surfaced, and it sort of contradicts what we found out a few days ago. Randhawa said that Wii U “is a pretty powerful machine, which obviously means more resources, and means you can do a lot more.”
Randhawa’s entire quote:
“There is not much I can really talk about right now, but I think that the Wii U is a pretty powerful machine, which obviously means more resources, and means you can do a lot more. So the Wii U team is doing very well, we’ve been working with Nintendo and I think it’s going to be a very exciting version of Darksiders but we want to keep the overall theme relatively consistent.”
Ultimately we probably won’t know how powerful the Wii U is until some really smart people take apart the console after its launch. There’s simply a lot of different contradicting quotes, reports, and other material out there that isn’t consistent. Maybe things will be clearer after E3?
