Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 14 Comments
Monster Hunter Stories was announced almost a year ago. Capcom now seems to be wrapping up its work on the game, as a release date could be coming very soon. Series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto said during a talk show event at Machi Asobi recently that he hopes to be able to announce news on this front by the month. He also said that it’s being made as a mainstream RPG.
Fans asked Tsujimoto about topics like Elder Dragons appearing, if we’ll be seeing new monsters in the game, and potential link features with Monster Hunter Generations. Unfortunately though, he wouldn’t divulge answers to any of these questions for now.

Limited Run Games shows interest in physical version of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 8 Comments
On Friday, we heard about Limited Run Games exploring a potential physical release of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water. But that’s not the only Nintendo game that the company wants to pursue.
Limited Run Games has gone on the record and has mentioned that Phoenix Wright is a series the company is interested in. Specifically, they’d be open to making a physical version of Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies happen.
Here’s what Limited Run Games said on the matter a couple of days ago:
It is a possibility, but like Atelier or other big games we’d be distributing rather than publishing. We’d have to pay a pretty high per unit cost to Capcom and buy 5k+. We haven’t made any progress on Dual Destinies, but it’s a personal want of mine.

SEGA attempted to neogiate with Capcom and Bandai Namco on Wii VC games, also considered 3DS
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii Shop Channel | 9 Comments
SEGA was a strong proponent of the Wii Virtual Console back in the day. The company also has quite a number of titles up on the eShop. It sounds like SEGA wanted to work with other companies like Capcom and Bandai Namco on VC titles, but things sadly never came together.
SEGA told Yosuke Okunari in a recent interview:
“During the Wii Virtual Console days, we worked with other developers and were able to port games that were on Megadrive and other Sega systems. Those were all made on our side. However, negotiations with some publishers, like Capcom and Bandai-Namco, didn’t go through. We did consider negotiating again when the 3DS came along, but business-wise, nothing really came together.”

New Ace Attorney 6 details: Bracelet Power, Detective Memo
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The new screenshots from Ace Attorney 6 showed off a few features of the game that Capcom has now detailed: Bracelet Power and Detective Memo.
Bracelet Power is a returning feature that lets Apollo (and the player) pick up on tiny details that might mean a suspect is lying or hiding information. The bracelet will react whenever there is some suspicious about an opponent’s dialogue, at which point the player can tap the lower screen to put the testimony in slow-motion and try and get the truth. Detective Memo, meanwhile, is a feature that lets players see what their current goals are, ideally for players who left the game for some time and forgot what to do.

Hideki Kamiya shares a message for Okami’s 10th anniversary
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
This past week, Okami celebrated its 10th anniversary. Hideki Kamiya, who acted as director on the game, shared a few words on his Twitter account in honor of the milestone.
Kamiya tweeted out the following:
Even though ten years have passed, I’ve still been receiving congratulatory messages and requests for a sequel, so as a developer I couldn’t ever be happier than now… I’m grateful to everyone who has been supporting Okami, and also to Capcom for giving a chance to send it out to the world, while at the same time I also hope from my sincerest heart that someday I could fulfill the duty to draw the continuation of the journey of Amaterasu and co. …
…but everyone’s expectations have been swelling so much that they’re going to burst, so even if I were to make a sequel I don’t have even a pixel of confidence that it could surpass the original…
I’m very happy that Capcom came out with Okamiden a few years back, but a proper sequel with Kamiya at the helm would be a dream come true. We need to make it happen… somehow!
