In the video above, one user is playing on Wii U. The other, Mattrayu, is playing on the 3DS. Seems to work rather well.
BlayzBloo: Clone Phantasma is launching on the Japanese eShop next week. But could a western release be in the cards?
You may remember that Aksys localized the original, BlayzBloo: Super Melee Action Battle Royale, for DSiWare back in 2010. There seems to be at least some interest in bringing over the eShop sequel, as the official BlazBlue Facebook page states the following:
So – BlayzBloo: Clone Phantasma on 3DS then. This is coming out on the 26th of December in Japan as many of you know – but we’re curious. How many of you would like to see this get a western release?
Hit ‘like’ if you want this to come out in the west.
Comment if you played the previous BlazyBloo!

Nintendo’s holiday wishes are coming from every possible direction. The company itself produced an online eCard, and Retro Studios did so as well.
Nintendo of Europe head Satoru Shibata has also produced a lengthy letter thanking fans for their support relating to this year’s Nintendo Directs, and extended a seasonal greeting.
Look below for Shiabata’s post.
On this week’s show: “Jessie’s Picks” for 3DS and Wii U.
Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition likely won’t be WayForward’s last Wii U game.
WayForward creative director Matt Bozon explained how the studio could approach the console going forward:
“If it’s anything like DSiWare, we’ll test the waters a bit and then try to roll out something a bit heftier. That’s a prediction, not a reveal of some secret project. I just see a lot of patterns in the way we work. Multiple Wii U retail titles for sure, and Wii U eShop exclusives are very likely too. From my own experience, the system is a game changer.”
Hyper Drive Edition director Austin Ivansmith also showed great interest in support Miiverse going forward:
“We’re definitely supporting it. We’d also like to try some innovative ideas with Miiverse, since there could be options for sharing data of some sort.”
One final, random tidbit from Bozon. He revealed that WayForward had hoped to get involved with GBA’s e-Reader, but “that’s the one that got away.”
“Heck, we even tried to get on the card e-Reader back in 2002 and got – as far as I know – the only external US dev kit. But alas, that’s the one that got away.”
GamesMaster, like many publications around this time of year, published its top titles of the year in its latest issue. The magazine also picked winners for a number of different categories.
