Siliconera published a new interview with Hiro Maekawa, the president of Natsume. Maekawa ended up addressing a variety of topics, including Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, why the company decided to localize A-Train, and more. Maekawa also said that Harvest Moon 64 won’t be coming to the Virtual Console due to technical issues, and noted that there isn’t any news on Natsume returning to older games such as Wild Guns.
We’ve rounded up a few of Maekawa’s comments below. You can find the full interview on Siliconera here.

Hyper Light Drifter might not see a release on the Wii U until 2016
Posted on 9 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Hyper Light Drifter has already been confirmed for release on the Wii U eShop but now we are learning that we might not see a release until 2016.
In a recent interview with TiC Podcast Team, Alex Preston the games creator has some updates on the progress of the game and when we can expect a release.
We have not yet announced the release date. We have only said 2015 for PC first. Consoles take some time so, for example, Xbox One has a certification process that you have to go through. There are hundreds of things on that list you have to make sure are good to go on that system. It takes time. We’re a small team to do that. We want to get it out the door on PC first and we will give ourselves the correct amount of time after. Sometimes it takes months, sometimes it takes much longer depending on the certification process. It’s all about getting it on the platform as quickly as we can, but doing it the right way. That stuff can be really intense and expensive.
We’re trying to get it all out as quickly as possible. We can’t rush the certification process. We don’t want to release a broken game. We don’t want to release a bad game. We’ll take the time that we need to. Those are the realities of it and those are the goals.
As far as pricing for the upcoming title Alex stated:
As far as price goes, we’re stating that it’s $19.99 so it’s a big game. The pre-order price starting out was $15 way back when, but since we had enough funding and a larger team, it’s become a much bigger experience. We’ve put years of work into it at this point. It’s well-worth that amount, if not more.

PEGI ratings to be expanded to the eShop
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
PEGI has announced the expansion of its rating system to mobile and digital storefronts in Europe. This comes as part of a global initiative with other classification authorities from around the world, which includes the following groups:
Pan European Game Information (PEGI) – Europe
Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK) – Germany
Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) – North America
Classificação Indicativa (ClassInd) – Brazil
Classification Board – Australia
The International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) was recently established in hopes of streamlining the process for assigning age and content ratings to digital games as well as mobile apps. At the moment, the IARC system is adopted for use in Google Play/Firefox Marketplace, but the eShop will soon be represented as well.
Ultimately, this should mean that more games will make their way to Europe. That’s because developers will be able to submit their game, and then collectively obtain age ratings for various countries. The process will be much, much simpler… and free.
