Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (PSP) – 8/8/7/8
Pachi Para 3D Ooumi Monogatari 2 ~Pachi Pro Fuuunroku Hana – Kibou to Uragiri no Gakuen Seikatsu~ (3DS) – 7/6/6/6

Only one escapeVektor game has been released on WiiWare. Developer Nnooo intended to bring a total of four titles to the service, but the studio abandoned these plans once the 3DS and PlayStation Vita came into the picture.

escapeVektor will appear on both handhelds digitally. This time around, Nnooo is looking to package all four games together rather than launching individual chapters.

According to Nnooo’s Nic Watt:

“The intent now is to include all four chapters into the Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita versions. We did originally envisage releasing them all on WiiWare but with the release of the Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita we decided that it would be better to focus on the future hardware rather than older ones.”

There is at least one person at Aksys Games who has interest in bringing Earth Seeker stateside.

Localization editor Ben Bateman told Nintendo Power that he would love to work on Namco Bandai’s Duel Love, but it’s not a realistic possibility. If he were to pick a title that actually has a shot at localization, he’d go with Earth Seeker.

Bateman said:

“Duel Love would be great, but the DS ship has almost certainly sailed on that one. A game that’s slightly more likely that I would love to work on is Earth Seeker. The art and character designs are wonderful, and the world seems pretty cool too.”

Earth Seeker is a Wii title made by Crafts & Meister & Kadokawa Shoten. It’s a role-playing game with a post-apocalyptic Earth setting.

XSEED showed interest in pursuing Earth Seeker last year, though the company hasn’t made any announcements.

Unreal Engine 3 is an obvious lock on Wii U. But Epic Games’ future technology, Unreal Engine 4, is less likely to be supported on the console.

Speaking about the engine, Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney told Gamasutra that the company is “aiming very high, and the intended platforms this is aimed at haven’t even been announced.”

Well, we know that the Wii U was revealed a year ago. Sweeney hasn’t ruled out the Unreal Engine 4 on the system specifically, but his statement makes it seem less likely.
