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?

The last time we posted something from the Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney art book, we were treated to some interesting “Dark Phoenix” art. Now you can have a look at “Dark Layton” (picture 14) and a whole bunch of other neat stuff.

Thanks to Yoy11 for the tip.

Super Ubi Land is in the works for a few different platforms such as the Wii U eShop. While it isn’t planned to hit the 3DS or PlayStation Vita, developer Notion Games “would love” to make that happen.

The one stumbling block is a lack of staffers. Currently, Notion Games’ Andrew Augustin doesn’t foresee a portable version happening due to a lack of resources.

According to Augustin:

“I would love to have Super Ubi Land on handheld devices like the Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita. I don’t have plans to bring them over because I haven’t found anyone to help port to those consoles. I really would like to find a programmer in the Austin, Texas area to help Notion Games and be a part of the team so we could bring our games to as many platforms as possible.”

Atlus recently said that it cut down on Devil Summoners: Soul Hackers’ voicework “just a bit”. The publisher has since clarified that statement.

Almost all of the original voices have been recorded in English. The only exception pertains to map NPCs. Writing on the company’s official forums, Atlus noted that the decision was made to save time and costs.

“The voicework that was cut was the map NPCs. The reason we cut that was because the JP version used one voice for every type of person: every man had the same voice, every woman had the same voice. It was pretty ridiculous, since these are definitely not the same person. To save time (and, yes, costs for studio work and actors), and to improve the work as a whole, we took out that bit.”
