Some folks are saying that the latest Wii U update has improved upon load times. Would anyone else say that’s true?
Umihara Kawase has been around for years – since the Super Famicom, in fact. The series’ last game was on the DS, so it makes sense that the latest entry, Sayonara Umihara Kawase, is heading to the 3DS.
According to information leaking out of this week’s Famitsu, Sayonara Umihara Kawase will be released in Japan this summer for 4,980 yen. Protoganist Umihara Kawase, now 20 years-old, will once again take the leading role. Staff from the original game are on board for the 3DS title’s development.
Last year, Spike Chunsoft released “Conception: Please Have My Baby”, a dungeon crawler for the PSP. This week’s Famitsu reveals that a sequel is in the works for the 3DS and PS Vita.
Details are nonexistent at the moment. The only leaked tidbit thus far confirms a summer 2013 launch.
Stay tuned for further updates…

It’s unknown how reactionary this particular story should be as details are somewhat fuzzy, but here’s what’s known so far:
Jamie Keen worked at Ubisoft Montreal during the development of Far Cry 3, where he acted as lead game designer. This week, some of the gaming press took a look at his LinkedIn profile, and discovered that it lists him leaving Ubisoft Montreal in February 2012 to join up with EA and work on their upcoming Need for Speed title– many months before he finished work on Far Cry 3. Some are suggesting this is a typo, and it means to read “February 2013”. If it does, it means that he left during the development of Watch Dogs, on which he was also said to be lead designer.
If it isn’t a typo and he did leave in 2012, it means he was never lead designer on Watch Dogs and he didn’t finish work on Far Cry 3, which seems unlikely. Why he left the company in the first place is unknown, but we’ll keep you posted if this goes anywhere!
