Last week, Nintendo of Europe published an interview with Splatoon producer Hisashi Nogami and general producer Katsuya Eguchi. The second part of the discussion went up today.

While the initial round of questions were mainly about Splatfest topics, this portion is much more focused on the game itself. Nogami and Eguchi were asked about Splatoon’s origins (wasn’t initially set as a shooter, not tied to a Nintendo franchise), inspiration for its style, what aspect of the game’s success they’re surprised by, and the Squid Sisters popularity.

Continue on below for Nogami and Eguchi’s comments.

Yo-kai Watch 2 ended up releasing as two separate games in Japan. A few months later though, Level-5 prepared a new version known as “Shinuchi”. The same thing is now happening with Yo-kai Watch 3.

The latest issue of CoroCoro reveals Yo-kai Watch 3: Sukiyaki. Quite a number of Japanese fans predicted Level-5 would end up bringing out a third entry for Yo-kai Watch 3, and had even guessed the subtitle.

Yo-kai Watch 3: Sukiyaki will be released in Japan on December 15. The original Sushi and Tempura versions will be receiving an update on the same day. However, it’s unknown though whether the update will make them totally in par with Sukiyaki.

Details about Sukiyaki are mostly unknown at this time. That being said, with Yo-kai Watch 2: Shinuchi, Level-5 prepared some new elements and mixed the content of Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls. The company may go down a similar path with Sukiyaki.

13AM Games took to its Tumblr page today and shared a bunch of information about Runbow. The game originally debuted last August, but the company has been developing a New 3DS version alongside a retail release for that platform in addition to Wii U.

Speaking of Wii U, Runbow will be out physically on October 25 in North America. It will be accompanied by the final patch including Shantae as a playable character – entirely free.

13AM Games is still tinkering away on Runbow for New 3DS. There were some difficulties along the way, including the implementation of online play, so we’ll now be seeing the portable version in Q1 of next year. Internet connectivity is also taking the focus as opposed to local play and StreetPass.

Here’s the full news update from 13AM:
