In a recent issue of Famitsu, a few developers left comments about the upcoming release of The World Ends with You: Final Remix. These include director Tatsuya Kando, Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura, and more.

We have the full translation of the comments below. Members of the development team spoke about some of the new elements in the Switch version, among other topics.

Deemo

Deemo will have a physical version in Japan at the end of October. In the west, however, nothing has been announced. The good news is that this could be changing in the future.

Today, Deemo received a new rating from the ESRB. Its publisher? PM Studios, who also happened to handle the physical release of Voez – another Switch rhythm game – in the west.

As always, until an official announcement is made, this is only speculation for the time being. Still, it’s an encouraging sign that we’ll be seeing Deemo’s physical version outside of Japan.

Best Buy has announced new demo events for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that will allow fans to go hands-on with the title prior to the December 7 launch. Select locations will house the demo, which will be available starting next week.

Here’s the full lineup of locations:

SEGA will release the first Valkyria Chronicles on Switch in the west, SEGA announced at PAX West 2018 today. The title had previously been confirmed for Japan only.

Valkyria Chronicles 1 launches in the west on October 16. Normally, it’ll cost $19.99. Those who purchase Valkyria Chronicles 4 on Switch digitally will be able to receive a 25% discount on the first game.

Here’s a trailer for Valkyria Chronicles 1 on Switch:

Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk

NIS America provided an update on Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk at PAX West 2018 today.

On Switch, the dungeon-crawling RPG will be getting an “exclusive” demo. NIS America didn’t go into details, but noted that we can look forward to seeing it “very, very soon.”

We also have a new video for Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk. Watch the PAX West 2018 trailer below.

NIS America has readied a new story trailer for The Caligula Effect: Overdose, which premiered at PAX West 2018 today. Watch it below.

Last week, Thief Arthur from Square Enix’s Million Arthur: Arcana Blood was revealed for SNK Heroines. That won’t be the only new DLC fighter for the game.

During a panel at PAX West 2018 today, NIS America teased another character for SNK Heroines. Details weren’t shared aside from the confirmation that it’s a guest character. Anyone have a guess as to who’s hiding behind the silhouette?
