The Denpa Men 3 looks to be heading west. OFLC rated “The Denpa Men 3: The Rise of Digitoll” earlier today, hinting at an upcoming announcement from Genius Sonority. We were previously told that The Denpa Men 3 localization is something that Genius Sonority had been interested in, so this news isn’t too surprising.

Every Assassin’s Creed game has featured a particular historical time period– old Italy, the Caribbean, revolutionary America, etc– in addition to smaller present-day sections that serve as story tie-ins and lore-builders. Those present-day sections, however, really aren’t the point according to series writer Darby McDevitt:

McDevitt talks about a lot more regarding the series in a great interview with EDGE Online. Check it out if you have the time.

Namco Bandai announced Pac-Man Museum for a number of platforms last year including Wii U and 3DS. Today, the publisher finally shared a release date for the game’s PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions, but a mention of Nintendo systems was conspicuously absent.

We followed up with Namco Bandai and were told that, unfortunately, both eShop releases have been cancelled. Pac-Man Museum will no longer be available on Wii U and 3DS “as a result of delayed development,” a representative said.

If you’re still interested in Pac-Man Museum, you can pick up the title via PlayStation Network on February 25 and through Xbox Live Arcade/Steam on February 26.
