This information comes from Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham…

“It looks like Maximilian will not be rising up to thwart the Mutant Mudds on DSiWare. This makes me sad. I really wanted to see it happen. One month after I put the call out, we have 452 comments from fine folks who want to see Maximilian and the Rise of the Mutant Mudds on DSiWare. Unfortunately, that is 548 votes short of where we need to be in order to start development of the title.”

I’m pretty bummed about this! Platformers are my favorite genre (it has some shooting and action elements as well), and Renegade Kid is a fantastic game developer. So I would have been interested in trying the game out. It’d be neat if the game ended up on 3DSWare somehow, though based on the lack of comments Renegade Kid received, I don’t think that is a possibility right now.

A Nintendo representative has commented on the status of The Last Story in western territories. VG247 was told that there are “no plans at present” to bring the game to North America and Europe. Although this isn’t the type of response fans would have hoped, it’d be best to take the news with a grain of salt. After all, I wouldn’t expect an announcement to come from a spokesperson. I’d say we should start panicking if nothing is said at this year’s E3.

Perhaps the biggest detail here is in regards to how the 3DS will handle friend codes. We know they’re coming back, but Famitsu did not say if players will be forced to input codes for specific games, or if the system itself has a universal list. Hopefully it’ll be the latter!
