And here’s some footage of Kirby 3D Rumble:

Pankapu: The Dreamkeeper reached its funding target on Kickstarter towards the very end of last year. The campaign included a Wii U stretch goal, but fell just shy of reaching it. However, Too Kind Studio has now confirmed its upcoming game for Nintendo’s console after combined Kickstarter and PayPal donations exceeded €55,000. We’ll be seeing it next year on Wii U unless something changes and it’s brought to NX instead (or both systems).

For those who haven’t heard of Pankapu: The Dreamkeeper previously, it’s a 2D action-platformer. You can get a better feel for the project in the video below.

MCV has received word from NIS America that the company will no longer be handling the release of Atlus’ titles across Europe. Additionally, going forward, Atlus won’t be distributing any NIS games in America.

NIS America MD Takuro Yamashita said in a statement:

“Around ten days ago, we terminated our alliance with Atlus in Europe and the US. Atlus became very picky about selecting the European publishing partner after it was bought by Sega. It always cherry picked its EU publishing partner based on who offered the highest minimum guarantee on a title by title basis. I noticed that it was very difficult for NIS America to establish an equal-partnership with Atlus. Atlus and its European games have contributed a lot to the expansion of NIS America in Europe. I would like to express my greatest appreciation to them for that.”

NIS America has handled several of Atlus’ titles in Europe. The lineup includes the Etrian Odyssey 3DS titles, Persona Q, nad more.

Star Fox

Geek Melee held an interesting interview with the English voice cast of Star Fox 64 – most of whom reprised their roles for Star Fox: Zero. Make sure to check out the full interview over on Geek Melee; below are a few highlights:

Bill Johns on voicing Falco:

“They showed me a still print of the Falco character and said ‘think Han Solo.’  I guess whatever came out was what they wanted.

There wasn’t a tremendous amount of copy in those early games.  I’m pretty sure everything Falco said fit on a page and a half of script, in large font and double spaced”

Jock Blaney on not returning as Wolf for the 3DS remake of Star Fox 64:

“I was a little disappointed at not returning. It may have been because I moved from Seattle some years back and was now working out of Las Vegas and they wanted their talent to be local Seattle.  It would have been fun!”

Mike West on the response to his performance as Fox in Smash Bros. 4:

“I try not to read social media crap but I saw some pretty harsh comments about my performance as well as a couple of other voice actors.”
