Nnooo intends to release escapeVektor on 3DS with all four episodes
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Only one escapeVektor game has been released on WiiWare. Developer Nnooo intended to bring a total of four titles to the service, but the studio abandoned these plans once the 3DS and PlayStation Vita came into the picture.
escapeVektor will appear on both handhelds digitally. This time around, Nnooo is looking to package all four games together rather than launching individual chapters.
According to Nnooo’s Nic Watt:
“The intent now is to include all four chapters into the Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita versions. We did originally envisage releasing them all on WiiWare but with the release of the Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita we decided that it would be better to focus on the future hardware rather than older ones.”
Aksys localization editor would like to work on Earth Seeker
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
There is at least one person at Aksys Games who has interest in bringing Earth Seeker stateside.
Localization editor Ben Bateman told Nintendo Power that he would love to work on Namco Bandai’s Duel Love, but it’s not a realistic possibility. If he were to pick a title that actually has a shot at localization, he’d go with Earth Seeker.
Bateman said:
“Duel Love would be great, but the DS ship has almost certainly sailed on that one. A game that’s slightly more likely that I would love to work on is Earth Seeker. The art and character designs are wonderful, and the world seems pretty cool too.”
Earth Seeker is a Wii title made by Crafts & Meister & Kadokawa Shoten. It’s a role-playing game with a post-apocalyptic Earth setting.
XSEED showed interest in pursuing Earth Seeker last year, though the company hasn’t made any announcements.

This information comes from Namco Bandai’s latest financial report…
You can find more information from Namco Bandai’s financial report here and here. It looks like we’ll be seeing fifteen titles from Namco Bandai on the 3DS this fiscal year and two on Wii.
XSEED looking into The Last Story limited edition for North America
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
XSEED will ship The Last Story across North America this summer. While the company had previously hinted at a limited edition version of the game, it’s sounding even more likely today.
If the idea does become a reality, it will likely be similar to the European release. A copy of the game, steel book case, soundtrack, and art book were included with each copy of the limited edition.
XSEED hopes to ready The Last Story for July. A specific release date hasn’t been finalized.

The Pinball Arcade in the works for Wii U, 3DS version shelved for now
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
There’s a mix of good and bad news to report on regarding The Pinball Arcade.
First, the game isn’t coming to Wii. It’s not going to happen because of technical issues. And let’s face it: at this point, it’d be pointless to bring it to the console.
Developer FarSight Studios was able to confirm a Wii U version, however. The developer hopes to finish the game up “as close to the launch of the platform as possible.”
As was written on Facebook:
“FarSight developed 12 titles for the Wii. Unfortunately, the Wii isn’t powerful enough to run Pinball Arcade. We are very excited about the Wii-U and hope to release as close to the launch of the platform as possible.”
The Pinball Arcade was also being developed for the 3DS, but it’s been placed on the back burner.
FarSight Studios explained:
“We have a plan to get the performance we need out of the 3DS to run the ROM emulation, however some R&D is needed before we know for sure whether it will work. The 3DS version is on hold until we can invest the time and resources into this R&D.”
