There are issues that go deeper than just sales of the first game. While that is certainly a factor, XSEED says that the company could face problems with licensing since Namco Bandai owns the IP rights for the game while Fuji TV owns the rights for the TV series.

So even though it would be less of a risk to release Retro Game Challenge 2 on something like the eShop, this probably won’t be happening.

Soga noted:

“It’s true we really don’t have to worry about inventory if we bring it over to 3DS eShop. But it is a bit of a tricky title since the rights belong not only to Namco Bandai for the game, but also to Fuji TV for basing it off the television series.”

Rhythm Hunter HarmoKnight nearly as big as New Super Mario Bros. 2

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Rhythm Hunter HarmoKnight is a big game. Well, at least in terms of download size.

The game launched in Japan today and it looks like it takes up over 2,000 blocks on an SD card. Indeed, that’s a ton of blocks. Believe it or not, it’s nearly as big as New Super Mario Bros. 2.
