2010 continues to be a huge year for Rising Star Games with Pang: Magical Michael, Rune Factory 2, My World My Way and Eldar Saga coming to Europe.
Friday 3rd June 2010: Rising Star Games continues the momentum of a year jam-packed with great releases by adding four titles to its 2010 release schedule. With Pang: Magical Michael, Rune Factory 2, My World My Way and Eldar Saga due for European release this Autumn, Rising Star Games continues to serve up the best in Japanese games.
The release of Pang: Magical Michael on the Nintendo DS, from the legendary studio Mitchell Corp., will mark 21 years since the original game blasted onto the arcade scene. Pang returns with all the addictive gameplay that made it so popular – now on the best selling handheld of all time.
While it has yet to be confirmed if a GoldenEye title is in development for Wii, information and images obtained from a survey yesterday about a 007 remake indicated that Activision will be making an announcement in the near future. Last October, initial rumors surfaced after an ex-Eurocom staffer listed the game on his CV. A few additional details were released today, but it still isn’t clear if it is a remake or a completely original project.
According to Eurogamer, Activision will be making an announcement about the game at E3 and will release the remake this November. A DS version is allegedly in the works as well, though is said to be developed by n-Space.
If the recent survey is to be believed, players will take on the role of the new James Bond, Daniel Craig, in the remake that is being “developed from the ground up for the Wii.” An enhanced 4-player split-screen will be included, although gamers will be able to participate in 8-player online matches as well.
