This week’s ESRB updates are as follows:
Rayman Legends (Wii U) – E10+
Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan (3DS) – T
50 Classic Games 3D (3DS) – E
Nano Assault Ex (3DS) – E10+
As a bonus, below you’ll find the rating summary for Etrian Odyssey IV. Can you spot the strange part of the description?
This is a role-playing game in which players control a group of fighters that explore fantastical labyrinths. Players engage in turn-based combat against a variety of fantasy creatures (e.g., large insects, slime creatures, sorcerers), selecting moves from a menu-based set of options. Attack moves are accompanied by light effects, bashing sounds, and hit point values. One labyrinth contains a hallway and a door that is stained with blood; a bear is also depicted with red stains on its fur and claws. A few female characters are depicted wearing bikini/low-cut tops that expose deep cleavage; one line of suggestive dialogue states, ‘I gotta lady boner harder dan steel for dat stuff!’ The words “bastard,” “damn,” and “hell” appear in dialogue.
Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario, is providing some work for Bit.Trip Presents… Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien. Martinet will voice a total of seven cut-scenes in the game – and he’ll be playing himself.
Polygon explained how the partnership with developer Gaijin games came to be:
“The developers at Gaijin Games say that initially, the plan was for Martinet to play a defined character they had created, but when Martinet showed up and said a few lines in first-person, they decided to lean into it. They compare it to Leonard Nimoy’s appearance in Dreamcast cult favorite Seaman, where Nimoy announced his name at the beginning to crack the fourth wall and make it clear the player was about to try something unusual.”
Gaijin has confirmed that Bit.Trip Presents… Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien will be released in early 2013.
