Have you beaten Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition on the GamePad? Then you may have come across a bug that results in a black screen of… nothingness.

Thankfully, developer WayForward is on the case. The studio posted a new blog entry today confirming that a fix is on the way.

Ubisoft senior vice president of marketing and sales Tony Key has addressed one of the company’s critical brands: Prince of Persia.

There hasn’t been a brand new entry in the series since 2010’s Forgotten Sands, and that likely won’t be changing anytime soon given the lack of announcements. But Key wishes to assure fans that Prince of Persia maintains “a really strong legacy with Ubisoft”. For now, Key hopes that people can be patient.

He said:

“Prince of Persia, it’s got a really strong legacy with Ubisoft and it’s still there. We have nothing to announce, but, you know, we haven’t sold it off or given it away, so be patient. I know that’s hard!”

Ghostlight is playing it safe with the European release of Devil Survivor 2. The company has plans to distribute the game exclusive through pre-orders on its online store.

There is a catch: a minimum threshold of pre-orders must be reached in order for Ghostlight to manufacture the RPG. If it’s hit, Devil Survivor 2 will launch as planned. But if not, pre-orders will be refunded and Ghostlight will not release the game.

Ghostlight explained in a new blog post:

All you Devil Survivor fans out there will be pleased to hear that we have managed to finalise discussions with our partners regarding Devil Survivor 2 on DS and have decided to go ahead with the following plan. Devil Survivor 2 will be released exclusively for pre-order through the Ghostlight Webstore with a (TBC) minimum quantity. Should we achieve this minimum quantity of pre-orders within one month, we will manufacture and release the game. However, if we don’t reach the minimum then everyone who pre-ordered the game will be refunded and the game will unfortunately not be released. We realise that we’re asking for a huge amount of trust and support from our fans on this one, but we know that you are a very special lot and you all seem to fully appreciate what we’re trying to achieve in bringing over JRPGs like DS2. We simply couldn’t do what we’re doing without you and with your continued support for the Ghostlight cause we’re hoping we can give DS2 its best shot at getting a European release. As a little incentive, if you do pre-order the game, as a special thank you we’ll add your name to the manual
