Noitu Love: Devolution heading to the Wii U and 3DS eShops in Q1 2016
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Noitu Love: Devolution, Konjak’s PC game from 2008, will be gracing Nintendo platforms early next year. The developer originally hoped to have the game out on WiiWare, “but that developer relationship went south.” MP2 Games is now handling work on Wii U and 3DS eShop versions.
Here’s a brief overview of the title:
“Play as Xoda Rap as she tries to save the city from the invading Darn army, who had previously been thought to be destroyed forever. But this time, they bring with them strange time-warping technology. WHO IS BEHIND THIS?”
A trailer for Noitu Love: Devolution can be seen below. Look for the game sometime in Q1 2016.

Zero Time Dilemma was announced several months back, but information about the game has only been trickling out slowly. Aksys Games and Spike Chunsoft did share another update today thanks to the release of a new piece of art, pictured above.
The image also comes with the following teaser:
ATTENTION PEOPLE OF THE WORLD
It has been more difficult than anticipated to smuggle information out of Dcom regarding the viral Zero Time Dilemma, but we at Crash Keys have finally obtained the most bare bones of details that should prove useful to surviving the coming apocalypse. It is necessary to reveal everything in small doses as to avoid detection, but we can share the first piece now. Stay alert for future communiqués.
Remember, the threat is real.
Hopefully we’ll be getting a more steady stream of Zero Time Dilemma updates in 2016!

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Famitsu has more coverage of Shin Megami Tensei IV Final this week. In the latest issue, we get a look at three more characters from different factions that will be partner characters. The image above has a first look at “Hallelujah” from the Ashura-kai, “Toki” from Ring of Gaea, and “Gaston” who is a Samurai.
Get a closer look at the three characters in the video below.
We also have these details from the videos:
– Gaston is the one in white
– He is actually Navarre’s younger brother
– Hallelujah (in the yellow jacket) points out that his personality and the way he talks is exactly the same
– Gaston doesn’t take too kindly to those remarks, and denies that he ever had a brother
– He says “no such blood runs in his veins”
– Gaston is shown not trusting Toki, who says that she has the same objective as the others, and has no intention of going against them as an enemy
