Aksys Games has announced its E3 2013 lineup, which includes two unannounced titles. Trailers for both games will be shown during the event and they’ll be playable as well. Aksys says that it will be bringing the games “to these here shores”, so it sounds like a couple of localization announcements are planned.

Aksys’ E3 lineup includes Muramasa Rebirth, A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda EX, and the company’s first mobile titles. Strangely, there’s no news on Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi, which was confirmed for North America last month.

A Pokemon Conquest sequel could happen in the future. Tecmo Koei executive vice president Hisashi Koinuma, the director and producer for numerous Omega Force series, responded to a fan inquiry on Twitter about a follow-up: “Well, there was a lot of unfinished material for Pokémon Conquest…”

Inside-Games also reports that The Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara is a big Nobunaga’s Ambition fan and wouldn’t rule out the possibility of a sequel – assuming there’s enough fan demand and enthusiasm.

Pokemon Conquest was a three-year project, so development began before the 3DS was introduced. There are some players who like to play the latest games on the newest systems available, and it’s true that many Pokemon weren’t represented. Creating a sequel could address these two points.
