REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Chase McCain is known by the thankful citizens of LEGO City as a legendary police officer. But where did his story begin? Every legend has to start somewhere. LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins, available now exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS™ system, is a prequel to the well-received LEGO City Undercover game for Wii U™.

Nintendo has announced a new 3DS XL color variation for the UK. Starting on May 31, consumers can get their hands on a pink 3DS XL.

This is a standalone product, to be clear. It isn’t bundled with any particular game.

After attending Nintendo’s presentation at the Full Indie Summit this past weekend, Slick Entertainment founder Nick Waanders took to Twitter and shared enthusiasm about the Big N’s new indie stance. He tweeted that he now has interest in releasing a game for the Wii U and 3DS, though he didn’t confirm projects for either platform.

Waanders wrote:

Slick Entertainment made Scrap Metal for the Xbox Live Arcade back in 2010. It also worked on N+ for the platform as well as Shellrazer for iOS.

Mother 3 has never been published in the west. But with Nintendo’s semi-recommitment to the series with the recent EarthBound Wii U Virtual Console announcement for the west, perhaps it has a chance of one day heading westward.

The localization process could be eased through a fan project completed in 2008. Clyde Mandelin, who led the efforts and has been known for his work at FUNimation, is now offering the entire translation to Nintendo for free.

Mandelin wrote in a blog post:

I realize that localizing a game this size can cost a lot, so if it’ll help in even the slightest, I’ll gladly offer to let Nintendo use my text translation files for any use at all, completely for free. I’ll even edit the files to fit whatever new standards are necessary (content, formatting, memory size, etc.), completely for free. I’ll even retranslate everything from scratch if need be. Just whatever it takes to get an official release out.

It might seem unlikely for a legitimate company to use a fan translation or work with fan translators, but it has happened before – Ys: The Oath in Felghana is one recent example. It’s more common among visual novel games at the moment, but I believe this sort of thing will only become more and more common over time. Only when the works in question are up to a certain standard of quality, of course.

This sounds pretty good to me! We’d love to see Mother 3 in the west…

Square Enix already released a remake of Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry’s Wonderland. Could the company now be working on a remake for its sequel?

In Japan, Square Enix registered a trademark for “Iru to Ruca no Fushigi na Fushigi na Kagi”, a move that could suggest a remake of Dragon Quest Monsters 2.

Square Enix originally distributed two versions of Dragon Quest Monsters 2. The remake would likely encompass both.
