Sonic Lost World is one of three Sonic titles that will be exclusive to Nintendo platforms. But how did that exclusivity happen in the first place?

In an interview with ONM this month, Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka explained that Sonic Lost World was originally being made on the PC “in order to see what kind of platformer we could make.” Nintendo systems were chosen “when we tried to think about which platform would be best for this game”.

Iizuka’s full quote from the magazine reads:

“The Wii U hadn’t been revealed when development began for Sonic Lost World, so we were working on a PC version in order to see what kind of platformer we could make. Then, when we tried to think about which platform would be best for this game, we chose Nintendo.”

Update: Added in more details.

– Still coming to Wii as well
– Hasn’t been mentioned because the media lost interest
– Was originally planned for Wii only, so the controls didn’t feel right on 3DS
– Team decided to move in the direction of making a control style for 3DS
– They want the player to really have tight controls and feel the flying elements of the game with each button push
– The company wants to make a game that is going to be really enjoyed in full 360 degrees, so the producer is taking his time with the game
– 3DS version is in a “plus alpha” state
– President hopes fans are looking forward to the game
– More details in the near future

Rodea: The Sky Soldier is one of those games that had seemingly become vaporeware. Originally announced in 2011, the game has more or less been missing in action since.

Thankfully, we now have a confirmation that the game hasn’t been cancelled. Japanese publisher Kadokawa Games assured gamers in a new interview with 4Gamer that the 3DS version is still on the way and is 70% complete. The team had attempted to replicate a similar control scheme on 3DS that was planned for Wii, but they weren’t able to get things right initially.

The black 3DS XL could be out in just a few weeks in North America, if a new retailer listing is to be believed.

Amazon Canada has listed the system variation on its website. According to a product listing, the black 3DS XL will be out on August 11.

Nintendo has yet to officially announce the black 3DS XL for North America, but it has already appeared in a commercial for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. The company should say something before August 11, assuming Amazon’s data is spot on.

Pre-orders for Devil Survivor 2 have been delayed a bit in Europe. Publisher Ghostlight said in a new blog post today that the company is “just waiting on final approval of the content that we hope to include with the European edition.”

In any case, Ghostlight has now shared a couple of pre-order options that will be available to interested RPG fans:

Option 1: Standalone Release

• Devil Survivor 2 (DS)
• This factory sealed edition will be available to all PAL territories and anyone pre-ordering from us will have the option to include their name in the DS2 manual.
• Pre-Order price £24.99/€29.99

Option 2: Devil Survivor Bundle

• Devil Survivor 2 (DS) & Devil Survivor Overclocked (3DS) with £10.00 discount!
• Both games will be factory sealed and as with Option 1, anyone pre-ordering the bundle will have the option to include their name in the DS2 manual. Regrettably, we will not be able to ship this bundle to Germany due to an existing distribution agreement.
• Pre-Order price £49.98/€59.98 (usual price £59.98/€69.98)

Ghostlight will need to see 1,800 pre-orders in the span of a month in order to make the European release of Devil Survivor 2 a reality. If the final total is far off, “everyone who ordered Devil Survivor 2 on its own will receive a full refund while those who ordered the bundle will receive a refund of £24.99 – meaning that you will still receive Devil Survivor Overclocked with the huge £10.00 discount.”

Ghostlight has also said the following regarding Devil Survivor 2’s potential release date:

We’re expecting manufacture to take five weeks so assuming we reach our target and we enter manufacturing when pre-orders close, the game should be released at the end of September. If we reach our target sooner than the pre-order deadline, then we will naturally move into manufacturing before the close of pre-orders, meaning that you would get your game a little sooner.
