Nicalis abandoned its commitment to bring La-Mulana to the North American and European WiiWare service. However, that doesn’t mean developer Nigoro would be against a new publishing agreement with an entirely different company.

When asked if the studio would continue to look into an overseas launch for La-Mulana WiiWare, director Takumi Naramura said:

“The game is completed, we welcome the offer from a publisher. Since there are people who have Wii for playing La-Mulana, I want to do something.”

Given how late we are into the Wii’s lifecycle, it’s unlikely that another publisher would pick La-Mulana up. I wonder if Nigoro would give any consideration to a Wii U version…

Sudoku by Nikoli came out on the North American eShop this week. Unsure about the game? Maybe this trailer will give you a better idea as to what it’s all about.

Update: Game Night is in less than an hour. Be here!

Game Night is returning this week, and it’s just a few days away. We’ll be hosting the event on Friday at 7:30 PM EST (4:30 PM PST).

Based on the Swapnotes I received as well as other feedback about the upcoming Game Night, I think we’ll handle it like this: we’ll have two groups going. One group will be dedicated to Kid Icarus: Uprising while another will play Mario Kart 7.

Join us for this, please! It’s difficult to determine how often I’ll be able to host Game Nights due to my schedule and personal obligations, but hopefully they’ll become a more regular occurrence. I’d at least like to set them up on a fairly regular basis throughout the summer.

Monster Hunter fans have been hoping for a Tri G localization announcement ever since the game was confirmed for Japan. Captivate came and went without any news, so the general consensus was that if the game was heading overseas, some confirmation would be given at E3. And if not, it’ll probably stay in Japan.

Now we’re starting to see some comments suggesting an announcement won’t be made during E3 next month. Greg Moore, Community Liaison for Capcom Unity, recently wrote on the official message boards that “nothing’s been announced for the West and I can’t tell you to hold your breath for E3 either.” He did point to the bright future of the series, however, noting “it’s just going to take a little longer for something to hit our shores.”

Moore wrote:

“Hang in there, guys. Unfortunately nothing’s been announced for the West and I can’t tell you to hold your breath for E3 either. But Monster Hunter’s not done in the West. It’s just going to take a little longer for something to hit our shores.

“I know it’s been awhile since we’ve had a new MH game, but for what it’s worth, it ain’t cheap to keep those Tri servers running. Take that as a symbol of our ongoing stake in the franchise until we can get an actual game over here.”

I wouldn’t panic just yet. I’m personally unsure as to how much insider information a community liaison would have access to. Also, keep in mind that some of the company’s higher-ups – such as Christian Svensson – have hinted at an announcement not too long ago. Capcom might not have anything to share at E3, but even then we won’t be completely sure if the game has been ruled out for the west.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

In case you haven’t heard, Nintendo will soon cease production of the Aqua Blue 3DS model in Japan. As far as North America is concerned, there don’t appear to be any immediate plans to phase out the color.

Nintendo said in a statement:

“We have nothing to announce about the Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS in our territory at this time.”
