BlayzBloo: Clone Phantasma is likely getting localized. It’s just a matter of when.

Arc System Works president Minoru Kidooka said the following when asked about an English translation of the BlayzBloo eShop title:

“We would love to publish this title in the states, but we’re a little short-staffed at the moment. Clone Phantasma is currently in the ‘localization queue’ with a couple other titles.”

Aside from BlayzBloo: Clone Phantasma, it sounds like Arc System Works will be localizing other 3DS eShop titles.

“As far as Nintendo 3DS downloadable titles are concerned, we plan on releasing them, one at a time.”

And when asked about the possibility of localizing 3DS retail games such as the Kunio-kun titles, Kidooka said:

“We will need a little publisher support, but if there’s a strong enough demand in certain markets, it would be worth considering.”

We haven’t seen the new game in action, but that should change in just a few days. The new FPS will be playable at PAX East later this week.

Uncade plans to bring Another Castle to the Wii U eShop, but not 3DS. There’s a simple reason: the indie title’s engine isn’t supported on Nintendo’s handheld. That point aside, Uncade’s David Byers believes that developing another version would be a lot to ask for since it’s being made for a bunch of different platforms.

Byers said in a recent interview:

“Unfortunately the game engine I’m using doesn’t support the 3DS. I’m also developing the game for a LOT of different platforms, so adding any more at this point might be too much.”

Looks like MegaMan… Smells like MegaMan… But it’s not MegaMan.

We have heard an almost obscene amount of Kickstarter gaming projects announce their support for Wii U if certain funding goals are met, but today we’ve got one for you from a developer that has recently been in the news:

Yacht Club Games was formed just recently by former members of the studio behind Mighty Switch Force!, WayForward Studios. Their first game will be called Shovel Knight, and it focuses on sidescrolling action, helmed by a knight who wields a “ShovelBlade” to destroy enemies. Sounds pretty decent, right? After all, we know these folks can make a mean platformer.

Initial news was that the game would be for PC only, but the game’s Kickstarter page says that if they hit their fundraising goal of $75,000, the game will make its way to 3DS and Wii U as well. Additionally, you can pledge $15 right now to “reserve” yourself a copy of the game on 3DS or Wii U when it comes out this coming September, so it’s almost like you’re just buying the game in advance!
