Sourve: Nintendo PR
Atlus has announced Conception II for Europe, though the publisher will be handling distribution duties a bit unexpectedly.
In North America, Conception II will be available both physically and digitally. But in Europe, Atlus will only make the digital version available.
Conception II will arrive in Europe in Q2 2014. Head past the break for the official announcement.
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Starting today, Wii U owners can take advantage of limited-time discounts on select indie games in the Nintendo eShop. Now through Feb. 13, fans who own any of the participating games already – or purchase one at full price during the promotion – will qualify to receive 60 percent off all other participating games.
The indie games that are participating in this exciting two-week Nintendo eShop sale include:
Along with the above screenshot, game director Masahiro Sakurai shared the following message via Miiverse:
Pic of the day. Both Link and Pit use bows, but when they fire simultaneously, their arrows meet and cancel out closer to Pit. Besides attack power and projectile speed, there are many elements that affect tactics, such as accuracy, vulnerability after attacking, and even seemingly unrelated features like a character’s physical abilities.
North America may not be getting Ninja Gaiden as its Wii U Virtual Console title for this week after all. Instead, it would seem that Zelda: A Link to the Past will be taking its place.
Ninja Gaiden’s listing has been removed on Nintendo’s site, but an entry for Zelda: A Link to the Past has appeared. Most would probably take Link to the Past over Ninja Gaiden here, so this is probably a good thing!
We’ll see how this pans out tomorrow.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
