The official Bravely Default is continuing to talk about the game’s status in the west.

Here’s today’s tweet:

At this point, Square Enix should know how interested the fans are in seeing an overseas launch. It boggles the mind that we haven’t received an announcement already!

Atlus appears to be bringing a semi-new Shin Megami Tensei game to the 3DS. There are reports on Twitter from those who attended a Devil Survivor 2 anime pre-screening event earlier today that “Devil Survivor 2 Break Code” is coming to Nintendo’s portable.

This summer, gamers in Japan will be able to get their hands on the updated DS title, which will feature new story and character content. More details are included in the March 28 issue of Famitsu (unclear if this is the magazine’s street date or cover date).

Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai is dealing with a lot of pain at the moment. In this week’s Famitsu, he revealed outright that he is suffering from calcific tendonitis and several ruptures in the muscles. The pain itself is bad enough, but it’s also affecting his work on the next Smash Bros. games.

Sakurai does have a Twitter account and fans from all over the world have been writing in and wishing him well. He’s been keeping tabs on the various messages, but told everyone that they shouldn’t worry about his injury or the development of Smash Bros.

Capcom just released an app in Japan that makes it possible to play the 3DS version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate online. Users download a tool onto a Wii U console, which is connected online through a Wii LAN Adapter or Wii U LAN adapter, and join up with others. Basically, the Wii U acts as a middleman – except it’s a machine.

Thankfully, Nintendo has confirmed that the tool will be made available in Europe. Gamers will be able to add an app to the Wii U known as the “Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Packet Relay Tools for Nintendo 3DS” at launch. It will be free to all system owners.

A statement from Nintendo reads:

Monster Hunter is one of the biggest gaming franchises in Japan. But much like Dragon Quest, its popularity has never reached similar levels overseas.

Capcom hopes that it will begin to change the situation with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. On Wii U, users will be able to play with others online. The Wii U and 3DS versions feature save transfers. And in Europe, a Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate bundles will be released.

According to Monster Hunter producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, these were all steps taken to enhance the series’ appeal in the west:

“You’re right in terms of us intentionally doing this. It’s always been our wish to make a good start and we’ve always been saying we’ll do this at one point. Monster Hunter in Japan started and developed in a very different way to how it’s been in Europe so far, Japan being a rather densely populated place with a quite prominent culture of visiting each other’s places to play games together. You see kids carrying their consoles taking them to their friends. They already had this basis of playing games through local network, whereas it’s a bit more difficult in the US and Europe where your neighbour is seven miles away. With Wii U, which is online compatible, and with 3DS with its portability, releasing both of them together, we’re giving opportunity and options to consumers to really pick up the version they want and the one that suits them. By doing that we might be able to actually have a breakthrough. That’s definitely our intention.”

The Bravely Default Twitter posted a new message today… partially in English!

It seems as though Square Enix is aware of interest from fans overseas. Here’s the message, which was posted in English through translation software:

“I accessed Twitter after a long absence. A voice of the foreign one arrives properly!”

A more accurate translation of the tweet reads:

“Logging into Twitter for the first time in a while. To the people broad: we hear what you’re saying!”

So Square Enix apparently knows that gamers in the west would like to see Bravely Default in English. In the case, care to get a move on with localization?
