Sonic is celebrating his 25th anniversary/birthday next year. With that in mind, fans are starting to wonder about what SEGA could have in store for the Blur Blur’s big year.
We won’t be hearing about anything this year, but Sonic the Hedgehog’s PR and social media manager Aaron Webber told SEGAbits that “there’s definitely stuff in the works”. Information will be shared early next year.
Elliot Quest creator Luis Zuno appears to be pleased with the game’s sales performance on Wii U. Although specific numbers weren’t shared, Zuno told 4 color rebellion that sales coming from Nintendo’s console have been “much bigger than on Steam.”
Zuno also mentioned that bringing Elliot Quest to consoles was no easy feat. That’s why he’s thankful for PlayEveryWare’s efforts in porting the title to Wii U.
“…putting the game on the console has been a long journey and a lot of work and I definitely couldn’t have got there on my own, which is why I’m thankful for the help from PlayEveryWare to get there.
Elliot Quest launched for Wii U on March 19. The European release took place about a month later.
Japanese magazine Weekly Shonen Jump is featuring five straight issues of Dragon Quest scoops. That started with last week’s July 6 edition, and will continue through the August 3.
Fans can expect the latest information on Dragon Quest VIII for 3DS. Additionally, there will be “fan must-see scoop(s)”.
The first scoop for Dragon Quest came last week. We saw a first look at the boxart for Dragon Quest VIII 3DS, and information was revealed about a brand new dungeon and boss.
BadLand Indie, the publisher of Anima: Gate of Memories, recently reached out to us with information indicating that the game was no longer planned for Wii U. That was in spite of the fact that developer Anima Project Studio had intended to make this version happen for a couple of years now.
New comments from Anima Project Studio have only added to the confusion. The project is still apparently on for Wii U, but it’ll be released after other versions.
Here’s what was written on the title’s E3 2015 YouTube trailer page:
Again, no. We really plan to release it on WiiU. The only problem is that we wanted to release the WiiU version along the other consoles, and it is right now impossible for us, so we will work on it once the other versions are ready.
We’ve reached out to BadLand Indie as well as Anima Project Studio to clear up any final misunderstandings.

Nintendo has announced a restock for the Splatoon amiibo in Japan. On July 9, consumers will be able to find the Boy and Girl Inklings. There are also plans to make more Squid figures later this month. The one thing that will not be restocked is the 3-pack, which has been discontinued.

Take a look at some additional images for Disney Magical World 2 below.
While Splatoon’s Splatfest had its debut in the rest of the world this weekend, Japan already had its second one. The results are now in – Red Kitsune instant noodles won, Green Tanuki lost. Even though Team Green Tanuki won 53% of its matches, this wasn’t enough to offset the 67% who picked Red Kitsune as their team.
