Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 0 comments
A specific western release date for Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth hasn’t been officially announced yet, but the game seems to be coming out in November.
In North America, retailers like Amazon
list a November 25 release date. Meanwhile, the newly opened NIS America Europe (take that in for as second) online store lists a November 28 date.
So as of now, both North America and Europe appear to be getting Persona Q in later November.

Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus could get the remake treatment as well
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Oddworld creator Lorne Lanning is open to remaking another one of the series’ entries, Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus.
Lanning told Wired that it may very well be the next project the team takes on depending on success. If New ‘n’ Tasty sells well, we should eventually be seeing Abe’s Exoddus in HD.
Lanning said:
With success, yes. The number one thing is selling games — when they profit, we can make more games. With success, Exoddus will be the next game we make and with a LOT of success we’ll start making new IPs.
Also while speaking with Wired, Lanning discussed why it wasn’t possible for Oddworld Inhabitants to make a new IP. The studio ended up rebuilding Abe’s Oddysee since that’s what fans requested the most.
