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.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze releases in North America on February 21, Cranky Kong confirmed
As many had speculated, Nintendo brought along Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze to VGX 2013. Two pieces of news were shared: a confirmation of Cranky Kong as the fourth playable character and February 21 release date.
The following information was also shared during a live demo:
– Cranky has a lot of personality
– Cranky uses his cane to jump around
– Crane bounce: jump across spike pits
– None of the other characters can do this
– Cranky’s Kong Pow: turns all enemies on screen into coins
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime also shared the following tidbits:
– Reggie wants to see another Metroid
– Says PS4 and Xbox One are a good thing for Nintendo and the overall industry
– 3D World doing “quite well”
– Says Nintendo has some of the top rated games, can’t play them on other systems
– Reggie loves the memes fans have created of him
Tune in to #VGX today for a segment with Reggie highlighting a previously announced #WiiU game!

Nintendo has cleared up some confusion pertaining to its Wii U reveal at VGX in just a couple of hours. The game has been previously announced – so unfortunately, no Zelda Wii U news tonight! Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze has come up as a popular possibility, though Super Smash Bros., X, Yarn Yoshi, and Mario Kart 8 were also revealed previously.
1-UP Studio played a role in the creation of Super Mario 3D World. It’s unclear how the company contributed, but they were involved with development in some capacity. 1-UP Studio also worked on Super Mario 3D Land when it was formerly known as Brownie Brown.
Spike TV has put up its full schedule for VGX 2013. Nintendo’s reveal will be taking place within the first hour, as Reggie Fils-Aime “takes the stage for a demo.”
You can find the full VGX schedule here. It’s a three hour show with no commercials, so expect a ton of gaming news and awards. We’ll be posting a stream later today.
