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.
Yet another interview from iDÉAME 2012. n-Space’s Roberto García Lago talks Heroes of Ruin, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D, what it’s like working with Square Enix, Wii U, and more. There was also an indication that n-Space will make more games for the 3DS if Heroes of Ruin sells well.
XSEED will ship The Last Story across North America this summer. While the company had previously hinted at a limited edition version of the game, it’s sounding even more likely today.
If the idea does become a reality, it will likely be similar to the European release. A copy of the game, steel book case, soundtrack, and art book were included with each copy of the limited edition.
XSEED hopes to ready The Last Story for July. A specific release date hasn’t been finalized.
D3Publisher has officially announced the Adventure Time game for the DS today. Here’s a surprise twist: it’s also coming to the 3DS.
You can find the press release for “Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?!” below.
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ready for a mathematical, algebraic, radical time? D3Publisher (D3P), a publisher and developer of interactive entertainment software, and Cartoon Network Enterprises (CNE) today officially announced the upcoming release of Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?!, a video game based on the popular Cartoon Network series, Adventure Time. This is the first Adventure Time video game that will release on the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system and Nintendo DS™ hand-held system late fall.
In the first licensed Adventure Time video game, Finn and Jake wake up one morning to find their trash stolen by the Ice King. Jake couldn’t care less about half-eaten bananas, crumpled up burrito wrappers, and old chicken diapers – but when they find out the Ice King is using their stolen goods to construct a Garbage Princess, the heroes embark on a fantastical adventure to teach him a lesson! Journey through the Land of Ooo in an offbeat adventure and discover perilous dungeons and unimaginable treasures, while playing as Finn and Jake in a unique action-adventure experience.
99Seconds will be released as a DSiWare download on May 31 for $1.99 / 200 points.
Kingdom Hearts hasn’t been on a console in a long time. Square Enix has been making portable spinoffs for a number of years, though this might be changing soon.
In an interview with Game Informer, Tetsuya Nomura expressed interest in returning to consoles. While answering a question about a possible PlayStation Vita title, Nomura said, “I also feel that it’s about time that Kingdom Hearts should go back to being on a console.”
Nomura was later asked about HD versions of Kingdom Hearts I and II. Regarding this, he told the magazine:
“I do have an interest in HD versions, and I’m currently researching them. If it is possible, I would like to do something about the series being spread over so many different consoles, too. I am thinking a lot about the future.”
Last but not least, Nomura wasn’t able to confirm if the next Kingdom Hearts title will be KHIII, but he did say that fans “may be able to find a hint if you play through Dream Drop Distance to the very end.”
According to Nomura:
“I’m not able to disclose any information on what’s coming next or any other future plans, but you may be able to find a hint if you play through Dream Drop Distance to the very end.”
