PES 2014 is coming to the 3DS… in Japan
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
PES 2014 was announced earlier this year, but Konami made no mention of a 3DS version. The game’s European community manager blamed poor sales of last year’s iteration for the lack of support this year.
What makes things particularly strange is that we’re now hearing that PES 2014 is actually coming to the 3DS in Japan, where the series is known as “Winning Eleven”. An official website, accessible here, confirms that a 3DS version is in fact heading to Japan.
So what’s the deal here? A 3DS version of PES 2014 is only releasing in Japan? That may be so, but it’s rather odd how Konami previously gave the indication that the game wasn’t in development for Nintendo’s handheld.

North America, Europe not getting Phoenix Wright – Dual Destinies quiz DLC
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Nevermind what we said the other day about all of the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies DLC coming to the west. While Capcom will be bringing most of it over, there will be at least one key omission.
A Capcom staff member has confirmed that Dual Destinies’ quiz DLC won’t be available overseas:
“Unfortunately, the quiz DLC won’t be coming to western territories since it requires an in-depth knowledge of Japanese culture.”
Just a few days ago, Capcom confirmed that Dual Destinies’ costume DLC and new chapters will be available in both North America and Europe.

No online multiplayer for Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW!
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW! will include multiplayer – it just won’t be online.
Kotaku has confirmed that the new game from WayForward won’t allow players to experience any dungeon-crawling elements over the Internet. Instead, you’ll have to settle for the local four-player co-op option.

How Sonic Lost World became a Nintendo exclusive
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Screenshots, Wii U | 2 Comments
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.”
Thanks to joclo for the tip.
Rodea: The Sky Soldier still in the works
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 3 Comments
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.
