Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 10 Comments
Atlus and NIS America’s partnership recently ended. While some were concerned about what this would mean for Atlus games in Europe, the company has struck a deal with a new partner.
A collaboration has been announced today to have Deep Silver publish multiple Atlus and SEGA titles across European and PAL territories. Physical and digital versions of 7th Dragon III Code: VFD, Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, and Persona 5 will be made available.
Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Koch Media/Deep Silver, said of today’s news:
“We are delighted to have signed this publishing partnership and look forward to using all our pan-European publishing network to maximize the potential of the ATLUS and SEGA games.”
Atlus and SEGA’s Naoto Hiraoka also mentioned:
“In entering this partnership with Deep Silver, I am truly delighted we will be able to release our titles in the European regions. Not only does the deal span multiple titles, but Deep Silver has a strong presence in European and PAL retailers. They have a strong passion for being able to deliver physical games to our fans in those territories, which we hold in high regard.”
Dates for games have not yet been determined. It was also teased that additional titles are planned for the publishing deal.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments

Digger Dan DX will be returning to the 3DS eShop
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 3 Comments
Four Horses made it known recently that Digger Dan DX had been pulled from the 3DS eShop. An unfortunate situation had developed, and First Star Software (owner of the Boulder Dash rights) asked Nintendo for its removal. Many had thought that Digger Dan DX would be gone permanently, but it looks like that won’t be the case at all.
Here’s the latest from Four Horses:
I am happy to announce that I received an immediate response from First Star Software, Inc. having contacted them on Sunday, and we have already settled this issue to our mutual satisfaction. (In fact I’m thrilled with the terms.) I hope to get Digger Dan DX back on sale as soon as possible though, due to the re-submission processes with Nintendo, this may take a few months. Hopefully much less. (I don’t know yet.)
Definitely good to hear that it’s all been settled! When Digger Dan DX does return to the eShop, you’ll be the first to know.
