Image & Form appears to have plans to bring SteamWorld Bundle to Wii U. That’s according to a rating that’s appeared on the USK, Germany’s ratings board. I suppose Image & Form will have something to say about this officially soon!

-Defeating enemies will drop item that lets you increase your maximum paint capacity
-Open to making an HD remaster of a Paper Mario game if they hear enough demand
-Want to figure out different paper-based themes for making future games
We all know that Dragon Quest is a massive hit in Japan. When it comes to the west though, the series hasn’t seen the same sort of success. Square Enix’s Yu Miyake shared two reasons as to why this is the situation we’re in.
Miyake first told Polygon:
“There’s two main reasons. The first is that, in Japan, the Famicom was kind of the moment that video games became part of families, and people really started bringing them into their homes.”
“In the West, we feel like PlayStation is where home consoles really caught on with Final Fantasy 7, so Final Fantasy has that foundation … where it really captured the hearts of gamers.”
Miyake also pointed to the “cartoonish style” from character designer Akira Toriyama as a turnoff for overseas gamers.
Capcom has made a couple of Japanese announcements regarding Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice.
First, the game is receiving new DLC in collaboration with Sengoku Basara. Phoenix can wears clothes based on Date Masamune, Apollo has a Sanada Yukimura outfit, and Athena is given Tokugawa Ieyasu garb. The DLC is due out on June 23 and costs 143 yen.
