Seth Killian has become one of Capcom’s most-recognizable employees at the company’s US branch over the past few years due to his involvement with the community. He’s answered lots of questions on the official forums, participated in fan events, and more.

Today is both a happy and sad day for Killian. He announced that he’ll be leaving Capcom this Friday, but will move on to “a new path which will let me embrace a new dream”.

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments

Even though it was released three months ago, we’re still thinking about Kid Icarus: Uprising. There’s still a lot to discuss. Some players still stand by their opinion that the controls weren’t easy to manage, while others are pleased with the title overall and would like to see a sequel.

Director Masahiro Sakurai has previously said that he has no interest in making a followup to Uprising and this is something that he echoed in a new interview. Sakurai also touched on those aforementioned controls once more, content that was left on the cutting room floor, and how he looks to revive old Nintendo characters through Smash Bros.

We’ve compiled the full commentary from Sakurai below.

Unchained Blades heading to the eShop “later in 2012”

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Unchained Blades was scheduled to arrive digitally on the 3DS and PSP this summer, but thus far only the PSP version has been given a final release date. XSEED said on Twitter today that the game will hit Sony’s handheld next Tuesday with the 3DS version coming “later in 2012”.

We’re not exactly sure what this means for the eShop release. Maybe Nintendo hasn’t told XSEED when they’ll put the game on the store. Maybe XSEED is still working on the 3DS version. For now, it’s unknown if the eShop edition will still be available this summer. The only tidbit we have is that it’ll likely cost around $29.99, as this is the price for the PSN version.

Nothing too exciting here… Reggie was only about to answer two fan questions from Twitter. It was amusing seeing him nearly butcher Xenoblade Chronicle’s name, though! Don’t worry, Reggie – you still rock.
