While most Square Enix fans were expecting the company to unveil Final Fantasy: 4 Warriors of Light 2, the company has gone in a completely different direction at Nintendo’s 3DS Conference. The publisher has announced Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, a new IP for the system.

Centipede: Infestation – Atari talks story, development, garden gnomes, and I ask about their next console

Side Note: The conference thing is tonight, so this may just get buried in the fray. I’ll just repost later, but I wanted to make sure it got up before Tuesday! Since I have more junk to post this week…

When most people hear the word “Reimagining”, they think of the failed attempts at bringing back franchises like Pac-Man, Frogger, Tomb Raider, and Sonic the Hedgehog over and over and over again, each time getting slightly excited at the prospect of having these games return to their glory days, and each time getting disappointed because, let be honest, they almost never do. Needless to say, when I went to play Atari’s upcoming Centipede: Infestation, I had pretty much made up my mind about the game and assumed I could’ve written my hands-on impressions in a split second with my eyes closed while I was asleep.

It would have gone something like this.

So when I got to the booth and my tour guide (weirdly also named “Austin”- I think Atari had been watching me sleep) brought me to the Wii version of Infestation, I put a smile on my face and braced myself for the worst. And of course, the one time I go to E3 and get to play a game like this, it actually isn’t all that shitty. Go figure.

Fast forward a few months and I find myself doing my first non-email interview with someone (this time over Skype!) with a wonderful guy over at Atari named Jonathan Moses, with whom I was set to talk all about this upcoming game. Of course, since I have the attention span of a rat, we ended up talking not only about Infestation, but about garden gnomes, development cycles, 3DS difficulties, and when we’d see Atari’s next home console. Though, we didn’t so much “talk” about a new console as “very briefly touch on it”, but I probably shouldn’t say more and just use that as a way to get people to read this unfairly.

I’m not a real journalist; I can do stuff like that.

Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype Version probably won’t be released

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

The Prototype Version of Mega Man Legends 3 was pretty much finished in spite of the fact that Capcom scrapped the entire project. You might remember that the company planned on releasing Prototype for the launch of the 3DS eShop. However, it was eventually delayed, and then all aspects of Mega Man Legends 3 were cancelled.

Even though Prototype was more or less complete, the chances of Capcom bringing the game to the eShop “are extremely slim.”

Capcom’s Christian Svensson told fans on the Capcom-Unity boards:

“Sorry guys, but I’d bet the chances of the prototype ever materializing are extremely slim. As always, I do appreciate the passion and desire though.”
