Yesterday, Renegade Kid confirmed that the studio is now in possession of the Dementium IP. That means the company is free to do anything and everything with the franchise.
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham has since issued a statement about the situation to Eurogamer, and told the site, “We will be exploring all possibilities, including sequels and ports, and we’re open to the idea of working with a publishing partner or going solo.”
The full comment reads:
“We’re very excited about having Dementium return home. We will be exploring all possibilities, including sequels and ports, and we’re open to the idea of working with a publishing partner or going solo. We haven’t ruled it out, but we do not currently plan to do a Dementium kickstarter campaign. It is pretty great to have these options with a brand that both our loyal fear-loving fans and us love so dearly, and so dreadfully. The team is really looking forward to lose their minds again in the blood-soaked corridors of Dementium.”

Pokemon Art Academy users in Europe and Japan can download a new patch from the 3DS eShop. It’s relatively minor all things considered, as the update is only intended to one particular issue.
As stated on an official Nintendo of Europe page:
Corrects the issue that when converting a picture made using only the Outline pen to JPEG format, in order to post it to Miiverse or save it to the SD card, the colours would not save correctly and would all be changed to black.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS has clearly experienced the best Japanese debut for any game in the series thus far. It will likely end up as the franchise’s best seller in the long-term as well.
