This isn’t something to be taken too seriously, especially given that it’s a parody. Enjoy it for what it is!

Earlier this year, Fractured Soul developer Graffiti Entertainment hinted that its project could ditch retail and end up as an eShop-only title. The game’s publisher has decided to take this route after all.

It’s been confirmed on the official Fractured Soul Facebook page that the title will only be released on the eShop. Additionally, a launch date could be coming soon.

“It’s going to be eShop only, and yes, we are closing in on a release date – with any luck, we’ll have some announcements in the next 2 weeks. Stay tuned!”

Nintendo of Europe has been absolutely fantastic when it comes to game localizations. However, for the most part, it will be missing out on a fairly high-profile title.

There are no plans to localize Pokemon Conquest for Europe outside of the UK. The factors behind the decision are unknown, but I guess NOE has its reasons.

Can it be? Specific Monster Hunter news for the west? Kind of!

Capcom’s Christian Svensson said on the company’s official message boards today that there will be news for overseas Monster Hunter before year’s end. His specific quote states that there will be “some sort of information before the end of this calendar year.”

According to Svensson:

“Ok, part one, I’m not aware of anyone from Capcom saying ‘wait for comic-con’. Perhaps fan speculation. I will be more clear than I have ever been… Western MH fans should have some sort of information before the end of this calendar year. I can’t say more than that unfortuntaely though I would love to.”

This is definitely the clearest Svensson has been regarding Western Monster Hunter updates. Let’s just hope that this “information” will result in an overseas announcement of Tri G and/or MH4.

Thanks to CdS for the tip.
