NIS America is a US-centric company, but it has brought over games to Europe before. It will be doing so once again with Etrian Odyssey IV. NIS America announced the title for release in the continent earlier tonight.
Good news: the European launch isn’t far off at all. Etrian Odyssey IV should be out sometime this summer.

Young Justice: Legacy will be released in Europe on September 10.
Ever since Bravely Default: Flying Fairy was announced for Japan, RPG gamers overseas have been praying for a localization announcement. Thus far, Square Enix hasn’t followed through. But Siliconera’s “trusted sources” say that the 3DS title will, in fact, make it to the west.
No word on when an announcement could be made or when the title would release in North America and Europe. Let’s hope this rumor isn’t inaccurate!
Remember the old WiiWare game Soccer Up? A 3DS has been in the works, and will be hitting the eShop next Thursday. Pricing has not been announced.
You can get a look at Soccer Up 3D in action through the trailer above.
Telltale acquired the rights to King’s Quest and confirmed plans to work on the series back in 2011. Those plans have since changed. Telltale sent out a statement to Digital Trends noting that it no longer intends to use the IP. Activision, King’s Quest previous owner, is now in control of the franchise once again.
A Telltale representative said in a statement:
“While we deeply love King’s Quest here at Telltale, we can confirm that we are no longer working on the franchise. There was a time last year that we investigated partnering with third party developers to produce the game as a partnership but decided against outsourcing. We are not privy to what plans Activision has for the franchise, if any.”
Interestingly, Activision may already have plans for King’s Quest. Replay games president Paul Trowe said:
“Activision’s probably not going to give us the King’s Quest rights. [Telltale] had it, and we were going to license it from them to make the remakes. Then I talked to the guys at Activision and they were like, ‘No, we’re pulling it because we’re going to do it ourselves.'”
Fast & Furious: Showdown will be quite a bit lower in price than the average game. All three console versions will be set at $39.99, according to Amazon
, while the 3DS release will be available for $29.99.
Amazon has also shared Showdown’s official boxart. Take a look below:
