It sadly doesn’t come in any special packaging… but at least it matches the gold Skyward Sword Wiimote!
It’s been over five years since The World Ends with You made its debut. However, some of the game’s characters made cameo appearances in Kingdom Hearts 3D, and Tetuya Nomura has expressed interest in returning to the IP on multiple occasions.
Is Square Enix finally returning to The World Ends with You? Quite possibly.
Square Enix has opened a new teaser site, and all indications are that it’s related to the series. First, it uses the same text from The World Ends with You. Second, Nomura and Gen Kobayashi are listed as character designers – both worked on the original game.
Now, there is some speculation that this could be a mobile project… whatever it is. That would certainly be disappointing. Still, nothing is confirmed for now, so we can dream a little!
We’ll be forced to wait a little less than a week before Square Enix officially pulls back the curtain on this mystery. Let’s pray this is a new entry for the 3DS or something.
Each North American 3DS XL comes with a couple of goodies. First off, the Swapnote application is pre-installed. A Dinosaur Office compilation video is included on the Home Menu as well.
Balloon Fight will be hitting the Japanese eShop as a Famicom download on August 22 for 500 yen. Screenshots of the game can be found above.
The official gold nunchuck page has been updated on Club Nintendo with a new notice. It now says Nintendo is “hoping to make this golden gem available again” and members should “check back soon for more details.” The site also says that the initial batch “sold out quicker than expected.”
Be sure to keep tabs on the rewards page here. We’ll let you know when the gold nunchuck comes back in stock.
n-Space’s first ever game on PS1, ‘TigerShark’!
All of this information comes from my interview with n-Space, but I figured I’d post it in a more agreeable form for news outlets and people who have neither the time nor interest to indulge my silly interview writing. If you DO have the time or interest to read my silly interview writing, you can find the full article here.
– Originally wanted to include DLC in ‘Heroes of Ruin’, but were unable to in the end.
– An announcement about something (no word on what) to come via their Facebook page “sooner rather than later”.
– A typical game development team squashes 5,000-50,000 bugs on a single project.
– ‘Winter’ (old Wii survival horror game, never released) isn’t necessarily dead. There’s always interest in the game from within the dev team.
– ‘Star Wars: Battlefront – Elite Squadron’ was originally just going to be ‘Star Wars: Battlefront 3 DS’, but when ‘Battlefront 3’ ran into development issues they went through a rebranding.
Renegade Kid’s stance on Dementium hasn’t changed over the past few months. If they were presented with an opportunity to develop another game in the series, co-founder Jools Watsham says the studio would do so “in a heartbeat.”
There’s one important issue that still remains – SouthPeak owns the IP. It’s completely up to the publisher if and when a new Dementium gets made, and so far there hasn’t been any progress in this area.
Jools Watsham wrote on Twitter yesterday:
“The continuation of Dementium relies on SouthPeak’s desire and funds, not ours. We would develop a new Dementium in a heartbeat.”
Watsham has previously said that Renegade Kid has been thinking about creating an original first-person shooter for the eShop. Although it would be a digital release, there would be plans to make the game like a full-fledged retail product.
