In the latest issue of Famitsu, a slew of Japanese developers spoke about their ambitions as we head into 2015. We’ve rounded up some of the responses below. Not all are confirmed to be Nintendo-related, but we’re including the ones that may have some relation to the company.

Tomonobu Itagaki (Valhalla Game Studios) – Itagaki alludes to 2015 being the year he sets off a big, brand new bomb, which is surely alluding to Devil’s Third.
Hiroyuki Kobayashi (Capcom) – In 2015, he has a number of titles both to be announced and to be released.
Tsuji Bonbon (Capcom) – The 11th year of the Monster Hunter series will be a new start.
Ichiro Hazama (Square Enix) – Working really hard on another game that’s proving arduous to make.
Kotaro Uchikoshi (Spike Chunsoft) – Has lots of things brewing that will be exploding onto the scene. Will be continuing along on some things and will have stuff to announce down the line.
Yuichiro Saito (Spike Chunsoft) – Has a few unannounced titles.
Makoto Osaki (Sega) – “We have unannounced titles in development.”
Masaaki Hoshino (Bandai Namco) – More information on Pokken is coming soon.
Hideki Kamiya (Platinum Games) – The Takarazuka opera should be hot in 2015.”(2015???????????)
Yusuke Hashimoto (Platinum Games) – New projects are underway.
Kenichiro Takaki (Marvelous) – Might have several non-Kaura original new game announcements.
Akihiro Hino (Level-5) – There are plans to start a new big project.
Jiro Ishii – I’ll be able to announce a number of titles in 2015.

According to a possible leak from Famitsu it looks like the recently announced 3DS game, Rorona Atelier will launch in Japan on March 26, 2015.

It also seems as if the game will have a special unlock-able feature called “Atelier Astrid”. This unlocked feature will take place when Astrid Zexis and Sterkenburg “Sterk” Cranach are younger, and you will be able to see how they lived their lives.

There also seems to be a variable difficulty option in the game.

Although no additional information is available at this time, we are sure to see more updates as the time draws nearer to the release date.

Stay tuned for future updates.
