Konami made two Magician’s Quest games for the DS. These titles featured a visual style comparable to that of Animal Crossing, and offered communication, life simulation, and fantasy elements.

The first entry was localized for North America and Europe. As far as I’m aware, the second one stayed in Japan.

Konami will soon have another opportunity to bring the series back to the west. According to this week’s Famitsu, Magician’s Quest is heading to the 3DS. Actual details haven’t been leaked from the magazine, but it doesn’t look like a release date is included in the issue.

Remember Famitsu’s Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney puzzle from last week’s issue? As it turns out, the original release date speculation based on the ad was spot on.

Famitsu confirms this week that Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney will be available in Japan on November 29. Pricing information has not made it out of the magazine.

Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune has a few things in the works. He’s making King of Pirates, Soul Sacrifice, and J.J. Rockets for Mobage.

Believe it or not, Inafune has yet another project in development.

This week’s issue of Famitsu reveals that Inafune is making a zombie game titled “YAIBA”. The magazine doesn’t appear to list platforms, and further details beyond aren’t known as of yet. We’ll have to wait and see if additional information is included in Famitsu.

In some ways, Ninja Gaiden III: Razor’s Edge is like a completely new game. While the Wii U version uses the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release as its base, Team Ninja is making a number of additions and changes to the core formula.

Razor’s Edge features tougher AI, dismemberment, an upgrade system, and more. Players can accumulate currency by pulling off combos, and can then use the cash to purchase moves, sword upgrades, and magic spells. You’ll be able to view some of the more complex combos right on the Wii U GamePad for further assistance.

According to the latest Game Informer, Team Ninja will also be including Ayane as a playable character. She’ll have her own “narrative-expanding missions”, complete with a new move set.

“I don’t find any lack of creativity in the game makers, but there is a lack of creativity in the game buyers. I think developers would like to make a wide range of interesting games, but they are difficult to sell, so they don’t get made. So it is a problem of economics. The question really becomes how to open up video gaming to a wider audience. Nintendo works on this question 24/7. Playstation and Xbox have little incentive to do that. The frontier right now is phones and tablets, but once again it comes down to the buyers.” – Rodney Greenblat, Parappa the Rapper/Major Minor’s Majestic March designer

I can’t tell you how long I’ve been saying this! There’s a very very good reason I stick with Nintendo consoles primarily, and it really comes down to who is being the most creative. I’d much rather have unique and interesting games that are mediocre than a bunch of great games that are monotone and uncreative!

He finished…

“What are people willing to pay for a game on a phone or tablet? Will these fees generate enough income for the publishers and developers? I hope so.”
