XSEED confirms Rune Factory 4 release in Europe as eShop-only release
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 6 Comments
Following yesterday’s leak from the USK, XSEED has now come forward with an official confirmation regarding Rune Factory 4’s release plans in Europe.
Executive VP Ken Berry told Siliconera:
“The situation is that we know the Rune Factory 4 fans in Europe have suffered enough with one cancellation already, so we didn’t want to announce anything until the game passed [Nintendo of Europe] certification and we were sure its digital-only eShop release was imminent since we are using a different programming house to try to pick up where the original dev team left off.”
“Though I can’t disclose which development house is handling the PAL localization programming duties for us, I can say that it’s been in the works for months already and we hope to start the master submission process with NOE within the next couple weeks.”
It was previously said that Rune Factory 4 wouldn’t be released in Europe due to technical difficulties. All of the problems likely came down to the fact that Neverland, the game’s original developer, shut down late last year.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 16 Comments
According to a Media Create report, Super Smash Bros. sold 109,811 copies in its third week in Japan. While the game moved 321,363 units in the week prior, there’s a logical explanation for the sales decline.
Media Create says in its latest report that Smash Bros. 3DS is suffering from stock shortages. Had more units been available, the title could have sold more.
Total sales for Smash Bros. 3DS currently sit at 1.37 million copies.

Last week, Amazon Germany listed Super Mario World, Super Mario question block, and 1UP mushroom Amiibo cases. Images have since surfaced for the latter two products, which you can find below.
We also have a tiny bit of news regarding the publisher of the Amiibo cases. Amazon Germany originally listed Gioteck as the manufacturer, but it now appears that PowerA is actually making the various products.
