Square Enix picked up a couple of new trademarks in Europe recently.
The first is titled “Guns & Souls”. Square Enix Japan filed for the name rather than Eidos. Based on the name, it sounds like Guns & Souls could be some sort of shooter.
Square Enix additionally registered Hitman: International Contract Agency and Hitman: ICA, but these two probably won’t have anything to do with a Nintendo platform.
We received some good news and some bad news concerning Monster Hunter 3 today.
The good news: Capcom finally nailed down a release date for Ultimate and confirmed voice chat (plus reconfirmed USB keyboard support) for the Wii U version.
Here’s the bad news: Monster Hunter Tri’s servers will be switched off on April 30. That date is set six weeks after the launch of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii U and 3DS. You’ll be able to game local multiplayer if you purchase the 3DS title, but online is restricted to the Wii U version.
Fuzzy Wuzzy Games is bringing “Armillo” to the Wii U eShop, and it’s due for launch on the store this year.
Armillo was once planned for XNA through the Xbox Live Arcade. However, the team is now concentrating on making the title for Wii U.
What is Armillo, exactly? The two videos above may give you a pretty decent idea. It’s somewhat reminiscent of Marble Madness and even has a bit of a Super Mario Galaxy vibe.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is due out on March 19 in North America. In Europe, the game launches on March 22. Nintendo will be handling publishing duties throughout the continent.
