Bravely Default: For the Sequel is laying the ground work for an actual sequel.

The updated version of the 3DS game was announced a few days ago. It’s making over 100 improvements, including interface enhancements and story changes. These are directly related to Bravely Default’s follow-up, according to producer Tomoya Asano.

Asano told Famitsu this week:

“The improved interface for this game is something we made so we can use it in the sequel, and the story has been changed in sections with an eye for the sequel. So I think you’ll notice some of the threads that we’ll be exploring in the sequel. However, I’m literally in the middle of building the sequel’s story, so I sure can’t give details right now! We’ll be announcing the sequel at a later date, so hopefully people are willing wait a little while longer.”

Bravely Default’s overseas version will be based on For the Sequel. Therefore, players in North America and Europe will be able to experience all of the game’s enhancements.

The Wii U and 3DS weren’t a part of the Pro Pinball: Timeshock! Kickstarter campaign, but the game’s developer was still hoping to make versions for both platforms. Now that the project has officially secured funding, Nintendo releases should be much more possible. The Kickstarter reached the £40,000 goal earlier today with eight days remaining.

Update 2: Folks on NeoGAF have deduced that this is likely The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter – the image below seems to be from Agate’s wrist. All future updates can be found on our sister site.

Update: Added in another tease:

XSEED is up to its teasing ways on Twitter. The publisher sent out a rather bizarre message on Twitter – essentially a small, beige square.

The last time XSEED sent out these kinds of teases, the company ended up announcing Senran Kagura Burst. What could they have in store this time around?

Monster Hunter 4 is seeing very high shipments in Japan, much like you would expect. Sinobi, a game shop owner in Japan, claims that Capcom will initially send out 600,000 units. That will be followed up by shipments of between 200,000 and 300,000 units.

Sinobi estimates Monster Hunter 4’s launch shipment to be in the range of 1 to 1.5 million copies with the inclusion of e-Capcom’s own sales. It wouldn’t be as high as Monster Hunter Portable 3rd’s launch week sales of 1.9 million, though it’d still be a heck of a lot higher than most releases.

Soulcalibur II HD Online was announced a couple of months ago for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Unfortunately, Wii U was left out of the mix.

When asked why the updated fighter won’t be available on Nintendo’s console, Namco Bandai explained:

“We have always been willing to try any platform if there is enough demand. Project Soul doesn’t have any attachment to a particular console; only the desire to achieve the greatest results possible for the platform chosen,” Project Soul told us.

Wouldn’t it have been nice to see Soulcalibur II on Wii U knowing that the original came out on GameCube? It does stink, doesn’t it? Who knows… perhaps Namco Bandai could have included Link in a potential Wii U version!
