A whole bunch of developers spoke with Famitsu this week about their aspirations for 2016. Aside from what we posted regarding Etrian Odyssey V from Atlus’ Shigeo Komori, here are some of the other Nintendo-related comments we’ve come across:
Masahiro Sakurai: I want to enjoy every Sunday. But it’s not like the next job hasn’t been decided yet.
Rune Factory and Story of Season’s Yoshifumi Hashimoto: I haven’t announced new titles yet, but some are already on the move.
Level-5’s Akihiro Hino: In 2016, other than expansion of Yokai Watch’s world, we’ll also announce titles with brand-new world settings.
This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir (PS4/PS3/PSV) – 9/9/9/9
Cardfight!! Vanguard G Stride To Victory!! (3DS) – 8/8/8/8
Dariusburst: Chronicle Saviours (PS4/PSV) – 8/8/8/8
Master Reboot (Wii U) – 7/7/6/7
Dai Kaitaku Jidai Machi o Tsukurou (3DS) – 6/7/7/7
Ocean Runner (3DS) – 7/6/7/6
Etrian Odyssey V was announced way back in November 2014. Aside from a teaser trailer, Atlus shared relatively little about the project.
Atlus’ Shigeo Komori finally provided an update (although brief) about Etrian Odyssey V in this week’s Famitsu. He said that development is in the final stages, and information will come “a bit later after the cold weather has warmed”. In other words, expect to hear news around spring or so.
We actually don’t even have a platform for Etrian Odyssey V. But given the series’ history, it’ll likely be on a Nintendo platform.
The free DLC for Canvaleon is finally launching in Europe this week. OXiAB Game Studio shared the news on Twitter, confirming a release date of January 7.
Here’s the relevant tweet:
The Free DLC of Canvaleon will be available from this 7th January for all European territories. We hope you like it ^_^. #nindies #nintendo
