Thanks to Robert for the tip.

Much like Injustice: Gods Among us, Japan will be receiving a different Resident Evil: Revelations boxart than in North America and Europe.

Here’s what the Japanese cover looks like:

And here’s the European box:

I assume that the North American art will be kept the same as the European imagery, but you never know…

Kid Icarus: Uprising weapon gem deliveries will be ending at the end of the month. March 31 is the cut off date, a message sent out through SpotPass reads.

Nintendo has been sending out weapon gems on a daily basis. However, even though online deliveries will be ending, players will still be able to obtain gems through StreetPass.

Update: Added in larger images.

The Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag leaks just don’t stop, do they? In the gallery above you’ll find the game’s first (small) images, which seem to be a mix of screenshots/art.

We hate to say it, but Retro City Rampage is pretty much being sent to die on WiiWare. Perhaps that’s why Vblank Entertainment’s Brian Provinciano – creator of the project – called it a “$20,000 gift to the fans”.

At this point, the interest in WiiWare has deteriorated significantly. It probably would have made more sense to bring the game to the Wii U eShop – but things aren’t that easy.

In order to make a Wii U eShop port possible, Vblank “would need to be completely ported from scratch”, according to Provinciano. It would also require “a new round of paperwork, platform requirements, e-manuals, game ratings, store metadata and assets, submission and certification.” Another port would require a great deal of work, and at present, the amount of versions Provinciano has worked on “left me very drained and physically sore after the long hours at the computer”.

“The problem is that the Wii U is a completely different system. You can’t just plop Wii code onto it, add some Wii U features and call it a day. It would need to be completely ported from scratch. On top of that, it means a new round of paperwork, platform requirements, e-manuals, game ratings, store metadata and assets, submission and certification. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t simply be a week’s work or such. Much of this was already done for the WiiWare version when the Wii U came along, so switching platforms still would’ve meant almost double the work. I’ve already ported the game to more systems than any one man developer has in history, and it’s left me very drained and physically sore after the long hours at the computer – over three years without a vacation or a day off. My mousing shoulder and neck is seized up right now from all of the time at the computer. So, no plans for more ports, I need to let my body rest without putting in the long hours for a while. Fortunately, WiiWare games can still be purchased and played on the Wii U.”

Thanks to Ram for the tip.

One fan recently asked RARE on Twitter about the possibility of a Banjo-Kazooie remake – you know, something like Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. Such a project isn’t likely based on the company’s response, but RARE did say that “anything’s possible”.

Even if a Banjo-Kazooie remake probably won’t be happening, is it something you’d like to see?

The official Bravely Default is continuing to talk about the game’s status in the west.

Here’s today’s tweet:

At this point, Square Enix should know how interested the fans are in seeing an overseas launch. It boggles the mind that we haven’t received an announcement already!
