This month’s issue of Game Informer contains a feature on Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. We’ve rounded up details from the magazine’s report below.
A little over a month ago, one fan asked XSEED on its Facebook page about the possibility of localizing Game Center CX 3. Unfortunately, the company ruled out the game for publishing in North America.

Nobody would be happier than us to publish it, but our bank would cry…
XSEED did localize the first Game Center CX game as Retro Game Challenge several years. But sadly, the game bombed on the market.
Thanks to Arnell for the tip.

In August, Genius Sonority released the third Denpa Men title on the Japanese 3DS eShop. We haven’t heard much about a western launch, but president Manabu Yamana tells us that the company is interested in bringing the game out overseas.
Yamana said in a soon to be published interview:
Yes, if it is possible, I’d like to release The Denpa Men 3 in North America and Europe.
We’ve seen three Denpa Men titles in a relatively short timespan – a trio of games in less than two years. Genius Sonority may want to continue the series, but if the studio does so, expect a change in game style.
If there is to be another continuation of The Denpa Men series, I would like to change the game style thoroughly as the first three titles of The Denpa Men series were of the same format and style.
