Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths was always a sure thing for the Wii U and 3DS, but a Kickstarter for the new video game launched last week in hopes of providing a better localizing effort.
The campaign goal has since been reached after funds reached $30,000. As a result, Secret Paths will be fully localized in English with voice-acting dubbing of cinematic scenes and dialogue. Spanish subtitles will also be included, and a PC port has been guaranteed.
There’s still 23 days remaining in the Kickstarter campaign. If donations exceed $40,000, the team will add in Italian, German, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Swedish subtitles. There are also plans for a free Polish translation thanks to some assistance from a professional translator fan.
Armillo went through a number of graphical changes as outlined by developer Fuzzy Wuzzy Games on Twitter. You can find a number of screenshots and tweets from the studio below, which are filled with sample screenshots and an explanation of the different styles.
Our platformer started out as blocky style graphics. It was actually a bit hard on the eyes and looked bland. pic.twitter.com/bZAJvRDRu5

GameStop customer service responds to slightly higher price for Zelda: Wind Waker HD Limited Edition
Nintendo’s announcement for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Limited Edition listed a MSRP of $54.99. However, GameStop ended up charging consumers $59.99.
Some fans were curious about the discrepancy, and therefore decided to write in to the retailer’s customer service center for answers. GameStop did respond, and noted that its pricing is “based on many factors including current demand, features and availability.” While it’s true that MSRP usually indicates pricing, the message indicated that this isn’t always so.
The message in full states:
Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda will be appearing on an upcoming episode of Pokemon Smash. On September 15, he’ll be around to showcase Mega Evolutions in an Pokemon X/Y “Institute Special”. There’s a good chance that we’ll be hearing about some of the things Masuda intends to cover before then through CoroCoro leaks.
Miiverse is coming to the 3DS eventually. We’ve also heard speculation about Nintendo Network IDs being implemented on the handheld. Apparently, both items are coming in October – after Pokemon X/Y have launched.
Emily Rogers, who tends to be in the know when it comes to Nintendo rumors, shared the nugget on Twitter a short while ago:
For the record, I've heard rumblings that 3DS Miiverse/NNID is indeed coming end of October AFTER Pokemon X & Y are released.
