DS

As you might have seen on the site earlier, Marvelous Entertainment shared some very underwhelming sales today. Unfortunately, it seems like those poor numbers have impacted the company’s future plans. Only one title is in development for the DS – Harvest Moon: Twins’ Village, already revealed for the system – and that’s it. Additionally, Marvelous is working on two unannounced projects for Wii, which will be released sometime before March 31, 2011. That surely is a dearth of releases on Nintendo platforms, so it’d be nice to see the company rebound in the coming fiscal year.

Hmm…Well, I’d say this is a pretty clear indication that Rockstar North is working on Nintendo platforms. At the very least, they are definitely showing interest. Here’s hoping we here about what the company is up to soon.

Thanks to Tim for the tip!

Don’t ask me why Nintendo decided to announce this now, but hey, I’ll take it! We’re light on details right now, but this title does appear to be a remake of Fire Emblem: Monsh? no Nazo. That’s the third Fire Emblem game in the series, and was originally released in 1994. Intelligent Systems will once again be handling the project.
