Red Fly Studio’s Mushroom Men Sprouts onto Store Shelves Today

MIDLOTHIAN, VA – December 4, 2008 – SouthPeak Games announced today that Red Fly Studio’s fantastic fungal adventure, Mushroom Men, is now shipping two distinct tales, Rise of the Fungi for Nintendo DS™ and The Spore Wars for Wii™. Gamers will have the chance to experience the entire story of these tiny warriors through both titles; while each game is completely stand-alone and does not require one to play the other, both offer players the full spectrum of the mushroom universe.

“Wrapping up Mushroom Men has been one of the most satisfying endeavors this studio has ever seen,” says Dan Borth, CEO of Red Fly Studio. “From the very inception of this original IP, we’ve been working around the clock to make it one of the most spectacular third-party platformers for Wii, and we really think we’ve nailed it.”

“Well, as far as if it’s going to be published in North America or not, right now we have no plan. We reviewed the game, and we decided that it was not the right game to bring to North America. We might change our mind…” – John Inadala, Tecmo’s U.S. VP

Last night, an XSEED representativ stated that Winds of Nostolgio would make it to North America. Tecmo won’t be localizing the title but perhaps XSEED or another third-party will pick it up.

Suikoden rolls on to DS

Posted on 15 years ago by (@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments

Konami brings classic RPG series to Nintendo handheld for first time
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced an all-new Suikoden adventure for Nintendo DS. Entitled Suikoden Tierkreis, the sprawling role-playing epic will be released in March 2009.

Suikoden Tierkreis casts the player as a member of a tightly knit security force in a remote setting called ‘Citro Village’. During an ongoing task to get rid of the land’s fearsome creatures, players uncover a mysterious phenomenon… a light emits something inexplicable at the top of the tower in the old ruins. From then on, the player and their comrades’ destiny begins to change…

The Nintendo DS title boasts a cast of 108 fully interactive characters. Each will work independently of the others, but can be recruited to make a four-person party, ideally suited to the tasks ahead. Each character enjoys a detailed history which is unfurled as the game progresses, with voice-overs and animated sequences fleshing out their many stories. From these, players than assemble their team to utilise the various skills on offer, while weapons such as swords and bows can be equipped and customised. Together, they are then pitted in turn-based battles against the many hostile creatures that lurk within Suikoden Tierkreis.

All of the information below comes from an XSEED email response

Shiren 2 (Sega, DS)
– Sorry, not going to happen. We would surely lose money on Shiren 2 due to lack of interest at retail.

Knights in the Nightmare (Sting, DS) (I assume that this is Atlus’ territory though)
– You’re correct, Sting has some well-established partners already in the US so it will be up to them to decide to bring this title or not.

Winds of Nostalgio (Tecmo, DS)
– This is coming to the US, perhaps not by us but it will make it over.

Sky Crawlers (Namco, Wii)
– Seems like an interesting game, thanks for the suggestion. We’ll look into it.

Fragile (Namco, Wii)
– Seems interesting though we don’t know enough about it. We’ll keep an eye on it.

Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary (Sega, DS seems to be the preferred one, and please of course make it the fixed version!)
– We will not pursue this title. The “casual audience” this game caters to is not our strong point.

All Tales games
– We would love to work on any Tales games (especially the ones that have never made it to the US before in any form such as Rebirth and Destiny 2), but as you can imagine this is extremely difficult to license.
Questions/Responses

1. But is the Little King’s Story box art the final one, and is it the same as the not seen Japanese box artwork?
– No, we have not released the final box art to the public yet.
2. And is Rune Factory Frontier’s NA box final? Can’t you or MMV USA (who’s responcible for this?) to make it just like the JP box in placement, and then just add the sky?
– I don’t know what box art you’re talking about, but the US one will likely be similar to the Japanese.
3. One more thing? Are any of MMV’s upcoming Wii games that you’re bringing over have any NA-exclusive content, whether you can share that or not is fine.
– We always try for exclusive US content, but oftentimes it’s difficult due to scheduling issues. Nothing has been confirmed yet.


If the latest rumor from EGM/Quartermann are to be believed, Dragon Quest IX will not only release for the Nintendo DS, but for the Wii as well. The rumor guesses that the mode would work similarly to the Pollux Engine for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time for the Wii/DS. The question is, will there be any graphical change from the DS to Wii?

Here’s the official description of the rumor:

“While Dragon Quest IX being announced for the DS rather than a home console was a big enough surprise in the first place, fans of the long-running series were even more shocked to discover that this latest entry will sport faster-paced gameplay and a surprising MMO-lite option to play with up to four friends. Assuming this multiplayer mode works similarly to the DS-and-Wii-linking Echoes of Time, it makes sense that Square would bring DQIX to the console as well. The only question that remains is whether or not the Wii port will receive a graphical upgrade — the Wii and DS versions of the new Crystal Chronicles are going to be identical, after all. Hopefully Square will confirm this news soon and give us more details.”
