Bravely Default is inspired by a lot of things… including American TV dramas, interestingly enough. Director Tomoya Asano cited the older Beverly Hills 90210 show and even Glee while answering a fan question on Twitter.

Nickelodeon has teamed up with Dentsu Entertainment to broadcast The Little Battlers eXperience anime in the Americas. The show will debut on Nicktoons later this year.

Dentsu Entertainment USA president and chief executive officer Yuma Sakata said:

“The LBX franchise is a great example of Dentsu Entertainment USA’s approach. The LBX series in Japan was creative and benefited from a coordinated launch by multiple partners in the broadcast, gaming, toy and licensee sectors. We think that, in working with our team of North American writers, producers, and partners, we will experience similar success in the Americas.”

The Little Battlers eXperience started out as Level-5’s RPG game series. The anime, which has seen a few different series, began airing in Japan back in 2011.

XSEED will be watching Forbidden Magna. The studio does appear to be interested in the recent-revealed 3DS title, as it told a pair of fans that it “looks great”.

The comments in full:

We just learned about it ourselves, but agree that it looks great. We can’t wait to get our hands on it and check it out ourselves eventually.

Yep, completely agree that Forbidden Magna is looking great. We’ll be keeping our eyes on it.

XSEED does have a pretty good relationship with Marvelous AQL. They’ve localized Rune Factory 4 and Senran Kagura Burst, for instance. It wouldn’t be too surprising if XSEED eventually picked up Forbidden Magna for the states as well.

Nicalis isn’t done trying to bring The Binding of Isaac to Nintendo platforms. Founder Tyrone Rodriguez, writing on Twitter, said yesterday that he still hasn’t “given up on” finding a way to make a version happen for the big N’s systems (presumably 3DS at the very least).

Rodriguez’s tweet in full:

One of the main obstacles preventing a release of The Binding of Isaac on Nintendo platforms is the game’s religious aspects. Nintendo won’t approve it due to this content.
