Tomonobu Itagaki is working directly with Nintendo on Devil’s Third. If the opportunity arises in the future, perhaps the two sides could team up again.

When asked by a fan on his Facebook page if he’d be open to revisiting a relationship with Nintendo on a future project, Itagaki wrote: “Naturally. I love their talent, their games!”

Another fan asked Itagaki if Devil’s Third has been completed. He explained in response:

“Haha, I really don’t know I have right to disclose about that lol. Many [people] are working hard for this video game industry, i don’t wanna offend anyone’s position.”

Late January, but January nonetheless. Nintendo of Australia and New Zealand announced today that the third wave of Amiibos will be available on store shelves on the 29th of January next year. This new line will feature Shulk, Sonic, Mega Man and Rosalina among other Smash Bros. characters. Unlike the United States release, which is still set for February, none of these figures appear to be exclusive to certain retailers.
