This week’s issue of Famitsu has some pretty extensive coverage of Level-5 since the company is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Among other things, Famitsu reveals a new game from Level-5 coming to Nintendo Switch – or rather, an old one: Ushiro, a game that was initially revealed in 2008 and was supposed to be released for Sony’s PSP, but never actually came out. The game was teased as a horror RPG; you can take a look at an old trailer for it below:

That said, ten years is a long time, so who knows how the game has changed by now. We should have more information once the full issue of Famitsu is out tomorrow.

New Atelier game revealed via Famitsu, 4th entry in the Arland series

Preview images of this week’s Famitsu magazine have appeared online, and they have revealed that a new game in the Atelier series is under development at Koei Tecmo and Gust. Specifically, this game will be the fourth entry in the Arland series of games – the first three games conveniently were recently re-released as deluxe versions on Nintendo Switch in Japan, with a Western release coming up on December 4th. Not much was revealed other than the teaser image you can see above, although Famitsu does point out that a new scene was present in the DX version of Atelier Meruru, which already teased that a new game in the series is coming:

Technically we don’t know yet if this new game will be on Nintendo Switch, but given Koei Tecmo’s support for the system, we’d be surprised if it wasn’t. We should have more information once we get our hands on the full version of Famitsu tomorrow.

Famitsu has stopped tracking Wii U hardware sales in Japan, final number is 3,303,541

Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

As of this week, Famitsu has stopped tracking Wii U hardware sales numbers in Japan. With these numbers only being in the double digits each week lately, it seems like they have now reached a point where it’s no longer viable or possible to accurately track them each week. The other major sales figure tracker for the Japanese market, Media Create, stopped reporting Wii U numbers a while ago. As it stands, the final number of Wii U consoles sold in Japan, as reported by Famitsu, is 3,303,541.
