I’m not generally big on announcements of previews (that sounds odd just to type that!), but we do have a brief update to share about two upcoming Nintendo titles. First, new previews for Mario Golf: World Tour will begin rolling in tomorrow. Coverage for Mario Kart 8 is expected in a big way next week. Expect tons of posts about each!

In January, Marvelous announced that Rune Factory 4’s European release had been cancelled. The company had explained, “While Marvelous AQL has made every effort to secure the title’s release for this territory, it is, unfortunately, not possible to do so at this time.”

Most assumed that the European cancellation was connected to the closure of Neverland, Co. – the game’s developer. XSEED executive VP Ken Berry elaborated on the situation through Facebook, explaining that the studio’s termination meant that technical difficulties couldn’t be addressed.

He wrote:

“Wish it was that easy as obviously everyone involved in the project would love to see it released in Europe, but it’s very difficult from a technical aspect since the people closest to the code are all gone (the Forbidden Magna team does have people from Neverland, yes, but for example the main programmer for RF4 is not one of them).”

Looks like another Inazuma Eleven game is heading to Europe and Australia. We recently came across a listing on the OFLC for “Inazuma Eleven GO: Light”, which as far as we know, hasn’t been officially announced by Nintendo.

Inazuma Eleven GO: Light probably pertains to the first “GO” game in Level-5’s soccer RPG series. In Japan, the game released in the form of two versions – “Shine” and “Dark”.

“Light” should match up with the “Shine” version. We’re waiting to see if the OFLC rates a corresponding “Dark” version for Europe and Australia.

At GDC last week, CVG caught up with Silicon Studio president Takehiko Terada. Terada talked all things Bravely Default, including the possibility of expanding the series (such as bringing the IP to other platforms).

You’ll find a number of Terada’s comments below. You can find CVG’s interview here with some additional responses.
