DrinkBox Studios has interest in developing a sequel to Guacamelee.
In an interview with PS3 Brasil, lead designer Greg Lesky stated:
We’re hoping for it too! There were a lot of ideas we came up with when the original was made and even more with STCE – the Champion Belt for example – so there would be more than enough ideas for a sequel, so it’s just a matter of what we do after Severed is finished.
Guacamelee originally launched last April. And just a couple of months ago, DrinkBox released Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championship Edition, which added a bunch of new elements.

Takashi Tezuka’s number one goal with Mario Maker “is to stimulate the imagination of the people playing it.”
Tezuka spoke about the Wii U game with EDGE this month, and touched on a number of topics. When asked to comment on how the team is going to approach players sharing their creations, he said:
Square Enix has been fielding questions about Final Fantasy Explorers over on Twitter.
When asked if you will be able to change your appearance independent of stats/gear, the company said:
“As far as equipment goes, we’d like to apologize beforehand. There isn’t a system that lets you maintain the same performance while changing your looks alone. In order to be able to change appearance, we’ve prepared a wide variety of armor and weapon types for Final Fantasy Explorers, so it would make us happy to see you folks mix and match to your liking.”
Square Enix also reconfirmed on Twitter that Final Fantasy Explorers will support multiplayer over the Internet, and playing online will be free.
In a new “State of the Farm” report, Natsume shared information about its upcoming slate of titles.
First, Alphadia Genesis is coming to Europe in early 2015. A North American release date is also expected sometime this month.
Natsume has also shared news about a couple of upcoming Virtual Console titles. Wild Guns (Wii U, previously known) and Legend of the River King 2 (3DS) will both be available next week.
Last but not least, Natsume has confirmed DLC for Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. Development of extra content will begin later this year.
