LEGO games tend to release on a regular basis. This year alone we’ve seen LEGO City: Undercover, LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins, and LEGO Legends of Chima: Laval’s Journey. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is also due out later this month.

Yet despite the frequent launches of LEGO titles, there is “absolutely no fatigue at all and there is actually a demand for different experiences.”

Warner Bros. senior vice president for international games Olivier Wolff told GamesIndustry:

Nintendo has published the first three Inazuma Eleven games in Europe. However, none of the series’ games have yet to arrive in North America.

Pocket Gamer recently asked Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino about the possibility of a US launch. Hino explained that if fans in the states show their support, “I’d love to respond to that and make preparations for their release.”

He said:

“If more people in the US start saying that they want to play the games then I’d love to respond to that and make preparations for their release.”

Because nothing spices up a relationship like a little bit of adventuring.

System: Nintendo 3DS
Release Date: October 1st, 2013 (NE), Q1 2014 (EU)
Developer: Neverland Co.
Publisher: XSEED Games (NA), Marvelous AQL (EU)

There’s an implicit warning to the player the moment they start up Rune Factory 4, and it goes something like this:

“I really hope you like anime.”

Yes, the first thing you’ll lay eyes upon after clicking the game’s icon on the 3DS’ home menu is a fully animated music video where anime-styled characters are introduced and a Japanese woman sings a wonderfully cliché (in a good way, I might argue) tune in the background. If you had seen the video without any context, you may as well have assumed it was the theme song to a TV show or the title sequence of a film– and depending on who you are, that might be a joyous setting of stage for a game. Regardless, this opening is actually a very serviceable measuring stick for whether or not Rune Factory 4 will tickle your fancy.

Beyond that outer aesthetic layer, though, there’s a lot to Rune Factory 4: Players will be asked to tend crops, foster relationships (both romantic and platonic), tackle dungeons, learn to cook, forge items, take up chemistry– the list of activities, superficially, is extremely long. Quantity does not equate to quality though, and in the case of Rune Factory 4, the quality does prove somewhat unstable.
