Shin’en hasn’t said anything about Jett Rocket: Super Surf since the game was announced. It’s now been made clear that it’ll contain platforming gameplay following the studio’s experimentation with different play styles.

In a new interview, Shin’en Multimedia Manfred Lizner said that the company realized “that a new Jett Rocket game needs to be a great plattformer in its essence.”

Screenshots will be released after the summer. As far as the actual game is concerned, it’ll be available on the eShop at the end of 2012.

“That game got through a lot of iterations but we took the time to make something really worthwhile. We experimented with different gameplay styles but in the end it was clear that a new Jett Rocket game needs to be a great plattformer in its essence. After the summer we should have some first screenshots to show you our efforts. We aim for a end of 2012 release for the game.”

This is amazing. For the third year in a row, a Professor Layton name has been trademarked in the US right before E3.

You know what that means! We’ll probably receive a Professor Layton localization announcement next month.

Level-5 filed a trademark for Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask just recently. Conveniently enough, that’s the next game in the series waiting to be brought stateside.

The official Twitter account for Bravely Default: Flying Fairy has provided a few details about Square Enix’s upcoming RPG.

It’ll take 60-70 hours to complete Bravely Default. Well, maybe “complete” isn’t the best word. You can beat the game in 60-70 hours, but there’s still lots to do once you’ve seen the credits.

Bravely Default’s initial demos and promotion surrounded the game’s AR components. Interestingly, these elements comprise just 1% of the experience.

The title’s battle system’s involve summons. These apparently feature “elaborate visualizations”.

Another recent Square Enix release, Kingdom Hearts 3D, received a special 3DS system in Japan. It appears that Bravely Default won’t be getting the same treatment.
