MCV has received word from NIS America that the company will no longer be handling the release of Atlus’ titles across Europe. Additionally, going forward, Atlus won’t be distributing any NIS games in America.

NIS America MD Takuro Yamashita said in a statement:

“Around ten days ago, we terminated our alliance with Atlus in Europe and the US. Atlus became very picky about selecting the European publishing partner after it was bought by Sega. It always cherry picked its EU publishing partner based on who offered the highest minimum guarantee on a title by title basis. I noticed that it was very difficult for NIS America to establish an equal-partnership with Atlus. Atlus and its European games have contributed a lot to the expansion of NIS America in Europe. I would like to express my greatest appreciation to them for that.”

NIS America has handled several of Atlus’ titles in Europe. The lineup includes the Etrian Odyssey 3DS titles, Persona Q, nad more.

After our one-shot with Miyamoto, we’re returning to the “choose your own” adventure we started with Ted a couple of weeks ago. We asked you guys to help us in deciding where to take the comic, and the winning submission was… Bowser, as suggested by Jordan Fricks. We ultimately selected Bowser as we felt it would work best with the story.

Here’s the second part of the comic (click for full size):

And now we want your feedback again! Which Nintendoverse should Ted and Bowser end up in? Let us know in the comments below, and we’ll be back soon with the next part of the story!

Excite Truck developer Monster Games has been working on a new project since at least February of last year which includes both “Career” and “Championship” modes. That’s according to the LinkedIn profile of Joshua Ruis, a software engineer at the studio. This find is sparking speculation that a new racer or perhaps a sports title could be in development.

Monster Games has only made Nintendo titles since 2006. In addition to Excite Truck, the company created Excitebots: Trick Racing, Excitebike: World Rally, and Pilotwings Resort along with the Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D ports.
