In a few months, 3DS owners in Japan will be able to obtain a new 3DS theme based on Pokemon: The Movie – Volcanion and The Ingenious Magearna. 7-Eleven’s 7-Spots will be distributing it, and it can be received as a code by voting in Pokemon Elections. Codes will be valid until August 31.
MCV has received word from NIS America that the company will no longer be handling the release of Atlus’ titles across Europe. Additionally, going forward, Atlus won’t be distributing any NIS games in America.
NIS America MD Takuro Yamashita said in a statement:
“Around ten days ago, we terminated our alliance with Atlus in Europe and the US. Atlus became very picky about selecting the European publishing partner after it was bought by Sega. It always cherry picked its EU publishing partner based on who offered the highest minimum guarantee on a title by title basis. I noticed that it was very difficult for NIS America to establish an equal-partnership with Atlus. Atlus and its European games have contributed a lot to the expansion of NIS America in Europe. I would like to express my greatest appreciation to them for that.”
NIS America has handled several of Atlus’ titles in Europe. The lineup includes the Etrian Odyssey 3DS titles, Persona Q, nad more.
Geek Melee held an interesting interview with the English voice cast of Star Fox 64 – most of whom reprised their roles for Star Fox: Zero. Make sure to check out the full interview over on Geek Melee; below are a few highlights:
Bill Johns on voicing Falco:
“They showed me a still print of the Falco character and said ‘think Han Solo.’ I guess whatever came out was what they wanted.
There wasn’t a tremendous amount of copy in those early games. I’m pretty sure everything Falco said fit on a page and a half of script, in large font and double spaced”
Jock Blaney on not returning as Wolf for the 3DS remake of Star Fox 64:
“I was a little disappointed at not returning. It may have been because I moved from Seattle some years back and was now working out of Las Vegas and they wanted their talent to be local Seattle. It would have been fun!”
Mike West on the response to his performance as Fox in Smash Bros. 4:
“I try not to read social media crap but I saw some pretty harsh comments about my performance as well as a couple of other voice actors.”

Mario and Peach costumes had previously been shown for Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages. We pretty much knew that equivalents for Luigi and Toad would be in the game, but now we have our first look at both.
Luigi’s costume allows for better fishing results. With Toad’s costume, the player can gradually recover health.

Bandai Namco has come out with two more My Hero Academia: Battle for All character trailers. Check out videos for Shoto Todoroki and Eijiro Kirishima below.
After our one-shot with Miyamoto, we’re returning to the “choose your own” adventure we started with Ted a couple of weeks ago. We asked you guys to help us in deciding where to take the comic, and the winning submission was… Bowser, as suggested by Jordan Fricks. We ultimately selected Bowser as we felt it would work best with the story.
Here’s the second part of the comic (click for full size):
And now we want your feedback again! Which Nintendoverse should Ted and Bowser end up in? Let us know in the comments below, and we’ll be back soon with the next part of the story!
