XSEED previously announced a Fall 2013 launch window for Senran Kagura Burst in North America. The company is still pinning down a final date, but it sounds like the game will be out sometime next month.
On Facebook, XSEED says Burst is planned to hit the eShop in “November-ish”. The title is also confirmed to be less than 2GB.
“November-ish on the release, very big on the size of the game (but less than 2GB).”
We’re still waiting for a number of Mega Man titles on the Virtual Console. As an example, Mega Man II and III for Game Boy still aren’t out on the western eShops as of yet.
There’s no set date for any of the upcoming VC games, but Capcom’s Brett Elston did share an update over on the company’s official forums.
He said:
Their figures for Watch_Dogs are (a bit) more conservative, but with Assassin’s Creed IV Ubisoft is expecting sales figures to hit the double-digit millions. 10 million would put the game ahead of most this holiday season, but it’s worth noting (thanks, VideoGamer!) that Assassin’s Creed III actually sold even more than that, clocking in at 12.5 million.
Assassin’s Creed IV will be out on October 29th for Wii U.
IGN has put up a new feature on Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. The article has more details about the upcoming 3DS game, plus a few more comments from Eiji Aonuma.
Head past the break for the latest on A Link Between Worlds.
Super Smash Bros. will be launching on Wii U (and 3DS) next year. That presents the perfect opportunity for the game to make its first appearances at various events and tournaments in 2014.
MLG is one such venue where Super Smash Bros. for Wii U could be appearing. Major League Gaming CEO Sundance DiGiovanni has said on Twitter that Nintendo has interest, as does he.
The message reads:
@proxywolf @MLG @MrAdamAp it may. Nintendo is interested. So am I.
