Circle Entertainment is one the first Chinese console game publisher to arrive in the market and they have worked hard on bringing games to all parts of the globe. Their biggest impact has been giving an opportunity to the Western indie market to bring their games to the East, making them the only company that has brought North American eShop games to Asia.

In a recent interview with Nintendo Enthusiast SEO Chris Chau talks about when they first started;

When we created the company in 2006, we ere very young. We just wanted to focus on how to create our own games. But Hong Kong has a limited amount of people to hire, and also we were lacking others resource such as publisher network and funds.

He then goes on to talk about their experience with the eShop;

Yes, the 3DS eShop offered a lot of convenience to players, this place allows for both casual games and retail games readily available for download.
You know, retail game always have to consider package cost, but for eShop, its really good to use the savings from not having packaging to reduct the game price.

He also talk about some of their 2015 plans and ways that they can support indie’s;

We have provided a minimum guarantee/development fee to smaller developers. Those capitals can help boost their development work. But we want to set an amount for this year, which will give us a range that we can work effectively. A little more capitals means alot for smaller developers.

Check out the full interview here!

The latest Xenoblade Chronicles X tweets from earlier today have been translated and they give us a small bit more insight on their thoughts about Tatsu and a fun tidbit about their homepage.

Kojima:

We had a new plush made for Tatsu… but at the start of development, there were actually quite a few arguments about whether we should put Nopon in the game or not.

Then the event planners started pushing lots of Nopon-related ideas, and in the end, Takahashi joined in on the fun and came up with the character of Tatsu. Now, we’re really glad that we put them in the game after all.

Pokémon Shuffle has been delivering new events every week since its launch, allowing players to catch the likes of Mew, Kyogre, and Rotom. This week is no different.

If you go to Check In on Pokémon Shuffle, you’ll be given the chance to face Mega Lucario. This one’s a little bit different, as once you defeat Mega Lucario, you’ll be awarded with the Lucarionite and a Jewel. There is one catch, however: Only the top 20,000 players in the west and 50,000 in Japan will be able to receive the Lucarionite for their Lucario (Lucario can be obtained through the special EX stages). As of this writing, we don’t know if the Lucarionite will be given by any other means, so Check In as soon as you can!

The Mega Lucario event will run for one week only.

This week’s topics include the sad cancellation of Keiji Inafune’s Kaio: King of Pirates, a big upcoming Level-5 event, impressive Nintendo sales, and “controversy” surrounding Xenoblade Chronicles X’s music.
