Not exactly breaking news from the Squid Research Lab! The developers of the upcoming Wii U title, Splatoon, are now sharing official English updates through the game’s Tumblr page. Previously this was only being shared on a Japanese Twitter account so it’s nice to have an official English resource, even if it’s making me feel redundant. You can view the most recent update, including the picture above, there. All of the previous information we’ve posted is also on the Tumblr, which confirms that the one time I had a crack at translating their Twitter post it ended up being accurate. What a fluke!

Famitsu have revealed a few new details on the upcoming crossover dungeon crawler, Etrian Mystery Dungeon, including the game’s boxart. The game will feature a new character class, the Wanderer (Fuurai), which looks an awful lot like a certain veteran Mystery Dungeon explorer. A pair of new NPC characters were also revealed; One of them handles the usual “Adventurer’s Guild” for creating characters and arranging parties while the other dapper fellow offers missions. Famitsu also teased the massive D.O.E. enemies that will appear during dungeon dives, which will presumably act like Etrian Odyssey’s traditional F.O.E. foes. We’ve included a bunch of the new art and screenshots in a gallery over the break.

Renegade Kid briefly worked on “a bizarre overhead RPG-esk dungeon thing” – seemingly for the 3DS – before ultimately shelving the project, studio co-founder Jools Watsham has revealed.

Watsham shared the news in a postmortem blog on Gamasutra. He explained that the company needed to launch some sort of new title for 2014 in order to make revenue and carry on into 2015.

According to Watsham, roughly three weeks were spent on the RPG. However, while the game “was shaping up pretty good”, he explained that “in the end I just wasn’t feeling it at the time.”

Keep in mind that the project may not necessarily be dead. Watsham wouldn’t rule out the possibility of returning to the game in the future, as he said on Twitter:
