This month’s issue of Nintendo Force has revealed that Monster Tale is coming to the 3DS as “Monster Tale Ultimate”.

Monster Tale, a well-received 2D platformer for DS with Metroidvania and virtual pet elements, originally launched in 2011. The game had players taking on the role of a young girl named Ellie, who is lost in the Monster World. Ellie has two goals: find her way home, and save the Monster World with some help from her monster companion known as Chomp.

Update (3/27): Pre-orders open on GameStop (thanks Jake).

Pre-orders for Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight have gone live – at least at one retailer. You can currently reserve a copy over at Amazon. When other retailers begin taking pre-orders, we’ll update this post.

The hits just keep on coming! After finding out that Zelda Wii U has been delayed and is now expected in 2016 instead, we have confirmation that the title will be skipping E3.

Series producer Eiji Aonuma wrote on Miiverse:

As I said in the video, we would like to take this time so we can bring you a very special experience, by making the ultimate Zelda game. Since we’d like to focus on developing the game we’ve decided to not show the game at this year’s E3.

Thank you for your continued support, and I hope you’ll look forward to the game!

Darn you, Aonuma! You know how to break my heart, don’t you?!

A new video message from Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma reveals that the title is no longer expected in 2015, as was originally announced.

“As I have watched our development progress, I have come to think that rather than work with meeting a specific schedule as our main objective, and releasing a game that reflects only what we can create within that scheduled time, I feel strongly that our focus should be to bring all of these ideas to life in a way that will make Zelda on Wii U the best game it can possibly be,” Aonuma explained. “So I must apologize to all of you who were expecting the game by year’s end, but we are no longer making a 2015 release our number one priority. Instead, our priority is to make it the ultimate and most complete Zelda game.”

We have a bit of good news for those who are awaiting Xeodrifter from outside of North America. According to Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham, the team is currently submitting its game to the different ratings boards across Europe. A release date hasn’t been determined, but Xeodrifter should be on the European eShop sooner rather than later.
