Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate is a 3DS exclusive. Perhaps that could change in the future, but this is where things stand at the moment.

Producer David Cox opened up on the decision to make Mirror of Fate while speaking with Pocket Gamer. It all came down to the 3DS’ implementation of 3D:

“The Vita could have run the game no problem, and we did seriously consider it as a [target] platform. But when we saw the game on 3DS and how it looked with the 3D, it made us realise we could never replicate that on another system.”

“I’m not knocking the Vita, but if we were to develop a game on that console, we would really focus on the Vita’s core strengths. The Vita game would be very different from a version for 3DS.”

Activision hopes Skylanders IP will have 10 to 20 year run

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

We’re in year three of Activision’s Skylanders franchise. The publisher has released two different entries since 2011, starting with Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. Swap Force, the latest title, is due out later this year.

There’s no question that Skylanders has been a mammoth money-maker for Activision. So it should come as no surprise that the company hopes to see its series last for 10 to 20 years.

Vice President of Skylanders business Joshua Taub told Joystiq:

“We have goals of making this a 10 to 20 year franchise that becomes a staple for kids.”

LovePlus creators teasing a new project

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Ah yes, LovePlus: The game that so many people want to come to the west, but no one seems to want to admit it! Well, I don’t think there’s much hope in that regard, but at least Japanese audiences will be getting their dating-sim appetites whetted well into the future if teases from New LovePlus producer Akira Uchida and LovePlus artist Mino Taro are to be believed.

The two of them put up a teaser site with an image that apparently says they’re bringing two new heroines “to life” in early spring. No word on who those heroines are, what the game is about, or if it even is a game, but chances are we’ll be seeing a new entry in their fabled handheld series sooner than expected. We’ll keep you posted.
