Ubisoft was once planning on including a world in Rayman Legends known as “Chateau Dracula”, which roughly translates to “Dracula Castle”. Sadly, the idea was cut from the final game.

Dracula Castle was set in a large gothic castle. Players would be able to traverse a dining room, cellar area, and even the rooftops.

Unseen64 managed to obtain concept art of Dracula Castle. The stage was never prototyped, and it was apparently scrapped due to time and budget constraints.

A fire at the warehouse used by Nintendo UK’s customer repair partner has affected a number of gamers.

Last week, offices at Repair Tech – the company Nintendo UK partners with for customer repairs – were hit by a serious fire. MCV obtained a statement from Nintendo, which reads:

“We can confirm that on Tuesday 18th November, a fire broke out in the warehouse owned by RepairTech, the company that Nintendo UK uses to fulfil its customer repairs. Nintendo UK only used the warehouse for UK based product repairs and storing of associated repairs equipment, it did not contain stock that would at any point be sent to a retailer for sale to the public. We are pleased to confirm that no one was hurt.”

Those who sent in hardware or software for repair are being told that free replacements will be issued. Additionally, some complementary free eShop credit will be provided.

Atlus has gone ahead and opened two new teaser sites designated by the letters “X” and “D”. They can be found here and here.

What’s interesting about the two sites is how they are very much the same. Both feature a giant tree similar to the teaser site for Etrian Odyssey Untold II from earlier this year. The two pages are titled “Nobody knows the X” and “Nobody knows the D”. Meanwhile, the official Etrian Odyssey Twitter account also posted recently: “We believe that everyone is curious about X and D’s sites just about now. Please take a peek at them every now and then.”

This all sounds related to Etrian Odyssey. Perhaps we’ll hear something during Atlus’ live-stream on Niconico later today?
