Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Following the 3DS’ official show at E3 2010, Nintendo included the Etrian Odyssey series as one IP that would be coming to the portable. It’s been nearly two years, but Atlus has finally announced Etrian Odyssey IV.
Famitsu has the scoop on the game this week. You might be surprised to hear that, even though the game is just now being revealed, it will be released in Japan on July 5 for 6,279.
The development staff includes Daisuke Kaneda (director), Nizou Yamamoto (background artist), Shin Nagasawa(monster design), Yuji Himukai (character designer) and Yuzo Koshiro (sound).
According to Famitsu, there will be at least seven jobs in the title, such as sword man, medic, dancer, and sniper. The magazine also states that players will be able to change between “Normal” and “Casual” difficulties on the fly.
We’ll have more Etrian Odyssey IV news (and hopefully scans) soon.

Rumor: Nintendo looking into digital distribution partners for Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
Rumor has it that Nintendo is looking into forming ties with a variety of partners for digital distribution on Wii U. In doing so, it would appear that the company has interest in making the console a media entertainment device that goes far beyond what we saw on Wii – it’d be more like what Microsoft is offering with the Xbox 360.
Adweek claims that the company held discussions with “a select number of top content companies” at CES last month “including multiple cable networks and Web video producers”. Sports, music, television, and other entertainment content would be involved in these plans.
One of Adweek’s sources says that “This is very preliminary. It could go nowhere.”
Meanwhile, Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter has already weighed in on the rumor:
“I don’t know if they have the chops to pull it off. I don’t think game publishers are going to support it (the console).”

As far as we know, David Franco is a freelancer in the video game industry. Having said that, it seems that all of his previous work has been for 5th Cell, the developer behind the Scribblenauts and Drawn to Life titles.
So why is this information useful? Well, it looks like 5th Cell might be making a launch title for Wii U.
Franco listed the following games as projects he’s worked on in the past:
LATEST TITLES:
Drawn to Life, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, Lock’s Quest, Scribblenauts, Super Scribblenauts, Hybrid, Unannounced Wii U launch title.
Given Franco’s history with 5th Cell, one would think that the mysterious “Unannounced Wii U launch title” is being made by the studio.
