Nintendo held an extensive presentation for Calcio Bit 3DS last night. Satoru Iwata even made a couple of short appearances! You can see for yourself in the video above.
Senran Kagura and its sequel, Senran Kagura Burst, could be candidates for XSEED localizations.
Executive VP Ken Berry told Siliconera that the company may consider either/both games for North America. The fact that they’re packaged releases would make it more difficult to bring them to the US, but Berry acknowledged that there does appear to be some fan interest in the two titles.
According to Berry:
“We’ll have to see. Not a flat out no, but it’s a title that would be hard to bring over as a packaged title. I mean we do get a lot of request for [Senran Kagura], so there are at least some fans that want to see that title. And it is a solid beat ‘em up in addition to all of the other stuff the title is well known for.”
WayFoward founder Voldi Way has opened up on a number of important topics.
In a new interview, Way discussed what else is planned for Shantae (essentially confirming Shantae for Wii U), the future of the “Mighty” series, the possibility of BloodRayne on Wii U, and lots more.
We’ve pulled out some of Way’s quotes for you below. Head past the break for his comments.
Dead or Alive 5 could happen on Wii U based on new comments from director Yohei Shimbori.
Shimbori said that the team is concentrating its efforts on the game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but a Wii U version could happen down the line. It’ll all be decided by player feedback, it seems.
He said:
“Right now, we’re doing our best to get the game ready for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. After players get their hands on Dead or Alive 5 we want to hear what they think and based on that we’ll see if we should make a Wii U version.”
The official Shin Megami Tensei IV website received a tiny update today. It now plays the Shin Megami Tensei opening theme song and contains a notice that the Atlus Maniacs team is developing the title.
Another message reads, “Please look forward to a followup report (Kazuyuki Yamai).”
There likely won’t be any Shin Megami Tensei IV news until Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers hits store shelves in Japan. Atlus is including the game’s debut trailer in Soul Hackers, which launches in Japan on August 30.
