Aksys Games and Nintendo Power must have a pretty decent relationship. The magazine was given the scoop on Shifting World in its January/February issue, and it appears that another reveal from the company is on the way.
Aksys included the following blurb in a blog post last week:
“Bonus: You might want to pick up the next Nintendo Power, on stands on 2/28, for a very special announcement.”
There’s a good chance that we’ll hear about this mysterious game earlier than the 28th. Subscribers usually get their copies a bit earlier than the newsstand date.
Thanks to Jake for the tip!

NintendoTV is sort of like the European equivalent of the Nintendo Show 3D. European 3DS owners can watch the video on the eShop right now.
Nintendo of Japan released a similar video two weeks ago, but this trailer applies to all downloads – DSiWare included.

After the Nintendo DS became a virtual Mecca of fantastic RPGs, it’s strange that the console’s older brother has been around for almost a whole year with barely any games to scratch that role-playing itch. Aside from Atlus’ Devil Survivor: Overclocked, there haven’t been any other RPGs on the 3DS, so thankfully Namco Bandai are finally trying to fill the niche with this recently-released port of Tales of the Abyss. Originally released on the Playstation 2 back in 2006, Tales of the Abyss —part of Namco’s long-running Tales series— told an anime-styled story about “the meaning of birth” and was met with fairly positive reviews. But the PS2 is a completely different system to Nintendo’s handheld console, so does this RPG make the transition to a portable system completely intact?
