Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed the recent Kingdom Hearts 3D demo for North America. Nomura mentioned the news in the latest issue of Famitsu.

He said:

“We’ve decided to distribute a KH3D demo in North America as well as Japan. You can play part of Sora’s scenario in Traverse Town. So if your friends haven’t played it yet, you can recommend it to them…”

Nomura didn’t say anything about Europe, but I imagine it’ll be released there as well.

The Kingdom Hearts 3D demo is comprised of some gameplay in Traverse Town. Players use Wonder Nyan, Neko Cat and Kuma Panda as members of their Dream Eater party. The demo can be experienced up to fifteen times.

Okay, to be fair, most of these are actually photos taken from the magazine. But I’m sure we’ll receive high-quality scans soon enough!

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.

Hop into the IRC for some Kid Icarus: Uprising/Mario Kart 7 online fun. As soon as you enter a name, you’ll be good to go!

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.
