After originally launching for the Xbox in late 2001, EA and Pseudo Interactive’s Cel Damage came to the GameCube a few months later. Its reception was a bit mixed, but the developer hoped to create a sequel that would build on the original while taking feedback into account.
Unseen64 and Liam Robertson take a look at what Pseudo Interactive had in store for Cel Damage 2 in the video below. Ultimately, the project never picked up steam as it was unable to secure a publisher. EA, who handled the original, wasn’t interested – nor was SEGA, Ubisoft, or Midway.
Japanese variety show Pokenchi will be airing footage from Pokemon Sun/Moon during its July 17 episode (July 16 in North America). It’s not yet known what will be shown. Keep in mind that Pokenchi has only covered Tapu Koko from the recent reveals. Regardless, new content should be coming soon since the latest issue of CoroCoro releases on July 15.
Donkey Kong – and the series itself – is celebrating its 35th anniversary today. The very first game debuted way back on July 9, 1981 in arcades. Donkey Kong is one of Nintendo’s oldest franchises, so it’s great to see that it’s still very relevant today!
Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan: Shijou Psi-dai no Psi-nan!? is in development for 3DS, this month’s issue of V-Jump reveals. Bandai Namco is working on the manga-based game.
Actual details are under wraps for the time being. We know that it’s categorized as “psychic action”, and confirmed skills include x-ray vision, psychokinesis, and telepathy.
A release date for Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan: Shijou Psi-dai no Psi-nan!? was not listed in V-Jump.
Nexis Games has been (and still is) tinkering away on its Wii U eShop project UCraft. In addition to that though, the indie developer will soon be coming out with “Draw the Line”.
Draw the Line’s teaser trailer shows first-person shooting gameplay. Some sort of mysterious threat is present, and you’re the only hope for humanity.
Here’s the teaser:
Draw the Line is due out soon – perhaps within the next month or two.
SEGA / Atlus announced this past week that, going forward, Deep Silver will be publishing their games across Europe. It’ll begin with the likes of 7th Dragon III: Code VFD and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, with the relationship continuing in the future.
SEGA recently took to its official blog and commented on the situation further in a new post. Additionally, the publisher explained why it has chosen not to handle games internally through something like SEGA Europe.
Here’s the full response:
Stop me if you’ve heard this before:
“We’re working on it.”
It’s an oft-used PR phrase that people have come to see as a general throwaway response. And while I can’t speak for every case, I can at least tell you that when it comes to publishing SEGA Japanese IP games (and ATLUS’!) in Europe, it’s true. We are working on it. Or were, really, since we just inked a deal with Deep Silver to release multiple upcoming titles in Europe. Physical versions.
That means that 7th Dragon III Code: VFD will be coming to European regions as both a physical and digital title, which will be published by Deep Silver for the EU territory.
CoroCoro has given us another look at Puzzle & Dragons X’s multiplayer mode. See two players going head-to-head in the video below.
Capcom’s fourth Monster Hunter Generations localization blog is now live. This week’s entry discusses a more monsters, such as Mizutsune, Deadeye Yian Garuga, and Silverwind Nargacuga. You can read it right here.
Last week, Aksys announced localization of Chase: Cold Case Investigations. It’s a new game from Hotel Dusk director Taisuke Kanasaki plus former CING staff.
Although Famitsu’s review was published a few weeks back, we thought we’d take a new look at it now that Chase’s localization is confirmed. Editors dished out scores of “8”, “7”, “8”, and “6” for a score of 29 out of 40.
Wondering why Chase received those scores? Head past the break for the full transcript of Famitsu’s review.
Update: Here’s Yacht Club’s official video:
Strangely it’s about half as long, so we’ve kept our original recording in place.
Inti Creates and Yacht Club Games are teaming up for the Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack in the west. But the two sides are working together on a second collaboration that was unveiled at BitSummit today.
During a Nindies panel at the event, a trailer was shown for amiibo support in Azure Striker Gunvolt 2. The video, posted below, highlights how players can challenge Shovel Knight to a fight while controlling Copen or Gunvolt.
The Shovel Knight sprite was designed by well-known pixel artist Masaya Suzuki from Inti Creates. Suzuki has worked on classic series including Breath of Fire and Mega Man Zero.
