Warner Bros. brought two Batman: Arkham games to Wii U, but the series’ latest entry – Arkham Knight – will not be available on Nintendo’s platform. Fans may be curious as to why that is.
Rocksteady’s Dax Ginn did provide an answer of sorts while speaking with NowGamer. He told the site, “We have to make our technology choices specifically with reference to the gameplay objectives that we want, so we choose the platforms that are going to give us that.”

Following this week’s listing for Inazuma Eleven GO: Light, the OFLC has now rated the game’s second version. Inazuma Eleven GO: Shadow was added to the Australian classification database yesterday.
As we mentioned previously, “Light” matches up with the Japanese Inazuma Eleven GO version “Shine”. “Shadow” should also correspond to the Japanese title “Dark”.
We’re waiting on Nintendo to make an official announcement about Inazuma Eleven GO for Europe and Australia, though these two ratings suggest that news is coming soon.
Square Enix’s Yosuke Saito took to Twitter earlier today and announced an impressive sales figure for Dragon Quest X. Since launch, the game has sold over one million copies in Japan, the producer confirmed. That number should account for all platforms – Wii U, Wii, PC, and Android.
Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:
Oh, Uncle Andross. He really isn’t very considerate.

Mystery Case Files Ravenhearst is due out on the North American 3DS eShop next week, a listing on Nintendo’s website confirms.
Here’s an official overview of the title:
Dozens of puzzles to solve. Thousands of unique items to find. Rumors surrounding the history of stately Ravenhearst Manor have circulated for decades. The recently acquired diary of Emma Ravenhearst may hold the key to unraveling the tale behind this unsettling place, yet the pages are missing. Players assume the role of Master Detective to unlock secrets held within Ravenhearst™, scouring a myriad of enchanting rooms in the manor for cleverly hidden clues. Locating and assembling diary pages helps tell the story of the house and, ultimately, unlock the mystery.
Mystery Case Files Ravenhearst will be available on April 3. No word on pricing at this time.
Initial D Perfect Shift Online is finally launching in Japan next week. SEGA will officially open the free-to-play game for all 3DS owners on April 2. Those who log in between April 2 and April 16 will receive a gasoline recovery ticket and a pride recovery ticket.
