Wales Interactive has already made a couple of titles for Wii U in Gravity Badgers and Master Reboot. Soul Axiom will also be on the eShop soon. In the future, Wales Interactive may extend its support to another Nintendo platform: the New 3DS.
You may recall that Unity support was announced for New 3DS awhile back. Thanks to the engine’s upcoming compatibility on the handheld, we could see games on the system from Wales Interactive.
Wales Interactive co-founder and technical director Richard Pring told Nintendo Insider:
“Definitely. Actually, weirdly enough when we were out in Cologne we were talking to some of the developers of that. It is something that we want to actually try, because we’ve created a handheld version of Gravity Badgers for PlayStation Vita a while back which kind of did quite well. We know the 3DS is such a massive market. We’ve been to Japan a few times now as well, and we couldn’t believe people were playing it all the time. It will be something we definitely want to try out. For us especially, we like to develop and it would be a nice one for us to do.”

Yesterday, Famitsu revealed that Atlus is developing Shin Megami Tensei IV Final for 3DS. First details about the game have since leaked out of this week’s issue.
Here’s what we know thus far:
General
– Takes place in Tokyo
– Year 203X
– In order to avoid destruction from the war against the gods that suddenly broke out 25 years prior, thick bedrock was made to cover the sky
– This also prevented any contact with those outside
– It wasn’t long until the battle ended, and the people of Tokyo began to fight and murder others for the little amount of supplies and resources that remained
– The people have become ruled over by the angels and demons that stood atop the food chain
– Masashi Doi is working on character designs
– See the likes of Merkabah, Lucifer, and others, including Medusa from the previous game, in their refined forms
– 90% complete
Protagonist (CV: Hiro Shimono)
– Has been spending his days as an apprentice of an organization called the Inhumanity Hunter
– While out on a mission, he takes a surprise attack from a demon, and dies
Mysterious Demon (CV: Shuichi Ikeda)
– Wanders the underworld after the protagonist dies and forms a contract with him
– The protagonist is given a new life and the ability to summon demons
Asahi (CV: Seike Tomoko)
– 15-year-old girl and childhood friend of the protagonist
– Part of the Inhumanity Hunter organization
Navarre (CV: Shintaro Oohata)
– Same Navarre from Shin Megami Tensei IV
– After losing his life for something petty, he meets the protagonist when he wasn’t able to properly go to the afterlife
– Currently has the form of a green body
That’s all thus far! We’ll let you know if any other notable information comes in.
This week’s issue of Famitsu reveals a pair of new characters for Hyrule Warriors Legends. Thanks to the magazine, we now know that Skull Kid will be playable. Phantom Ganon is also in as a boss, and he uses an ocarina during battle (not to mention that a fairy is at his side).
Hyrule Warriors Legends comes out in Japan on January 21. The western release will follow sometime in Q1 2016.
Both the 3DS and Wii U version of Smash Bros. will soon be getting updated to version 1.1.2. This patch will fix a bug regarding Diddy Kong that has been plaguing the game lately. This glitch was introduced with update 1.1.1 and made Diddy immune to grabs in certain conditions.
Through a preview image from this week’s Famitsu, we’ve learned that Medabots 9 has been announced. Two versions of the game will be released: Medabots 9 Kabuto Version and Medabots 9 Kuwagata Version, both of them for 3DS. A striking new feature of this game will be 3-on-3 battles.
You can expect more info once we’ve got our hands on this week’s issue of Famitsu.

Nearly three years ago, Tomorrow Corporation brought Little Inferno to the eShop in time for the Wii U’s launch. The studio is now almost ready to release its next game, Human Resource Machine. Just a few weeks ago, an announcement was made confirming a Wii U launch for October 14.
We recently got in touch with Tomorrow Corporation’s Kyle Gabler in hopes of learning more about Human Resource Machine. Gabler shared more information about the game and talked about what we can expect from the Wii U version, and also touched on a few other topics like the Nindies community and the difficulties of being a small team.
For our full interview, head past the break.
