Fractured Soul has finally been approved, according to the game’s Facebook page.
It still doesn’t have a release date, but receiving approval from Nintendo is one of the final steps of the process. Now that this step has been completed, we could be seeing Fractured Soul on the eShop soon.
“Some good news: Fractured Soul has been approved by Nintendo today. We still don’t have a solid release date yet, but it couldn’t take too long for us to be given one… could it??”
Fishing Resort was a bit of an odd localization choice for XSEED. The company traditionally brings over Japanese RPGs and quirkier titles rather than more casual experiences.
XSEED recently explained its decision to localize the game and also commented on Fishing Resort’s sales. Expectedly, the company wishes it had sold more.
XSEED’s Jessica Chavez noted:
“We published it because it is an awesome game. Seriously. It may not be our usual pick, but that game was the most relaxing fun I’ve ever had working. That and Yuji Naka is a cool guy. As for how it did… I’d like it to do more. It’s a criminally overlooked title for how good it is. Call me crazy, but once you wrestle with an alligator gar you won’t be able to put it down.”
The images above appear to be officially-made New Super Mario Bros. 2 print adverts from Nintendo of Europe. I have no idea if they’re in magazines or anything like that, but they’re neat nonetheless.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Never heard of Heroes of Ruin? Check out this launch trailer!
It was a very long time ago that I first played Gauntlet Legends on Nintendo 64. For some reason it sits in my mind as one of those “N64 classics” despite not REALLY doing anything revolutionary at the time. Maybe it’s the really funny running animations? Still, it was fun, but thinking back it really wasn’t as good as I remember. Terrible? No, not at all. Just not great.
Then comes along the latest game from n-Space, Heroes of Ruin. I remember playing it at E3 last year and not being terribly impressed, but when I got back from L.A. it seemed like people were raving about it left and right, saying it was going to be the 3DS’s Diablo, or a true game for those that have been waiting on that old Gauntlet DS game that got cancelled. But is it?
Sort of.
Joystiq has a much higher-quality camera than I do… so here are a bunch of additional gold nunchuck photos.
