Update: Here’s a trailer for the Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack and OVA:
Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 will launch on September 30 in the west, Inti Creates revealed at Anime Expo today. You’ll need to fork over $14.99 for the download.
Alternatively, you can spend $30 on the Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack, which has finally been confirmed for overseas territories. The package will include both games in the series – Azure Striker Gunvolt 1 and 2. As expected, Yacht Club Games is publishing.
A rating in Australia originally confirmed plans to have the Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack in the west. That means it should be released in North America as well as PAL regions.
Also announced today is a special Azure Striker Gunvolt anime OVA for this winter. However, we don’t have specifics just yet.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 8 Comments
In May, Chase: Cold Case Investigations – Distant Memories released on the Japanese 3DS eShop. It was a new game from Arc System Works, with Hotel Dusk: Room 215 director Taisuke Kanasaki and former CING employees on board for the project.
Today, Aksys Games announced at its Anime Expo panel that the title will be heading west. It’ll be available this fall on the eShop.
Chase: Cold Case Investigations stars detectives Shounosuke Nanase and Koto Amekura as they investigate a reopened case about an explosion and death. It was originally determined to be an accident, but an anonymous caller informs the division that it was actually murder.
Here’s one of the Japanese trailers for the game:

Shigeru Miyamoto, Bill Trinen on the Wii U games that should be given a second look
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 144 Comments
Shigeru Miyamoto and Bill Trinen, senior product marketing manager of Nintendo of America, both weighed in on the Wii U games that should be given a second look while speaking with Game Informer.
Miyamoto was up first. His choice? Star Fox Zero.
About Star Fox Zero, Miyamoto had this to say:
“I think personally Star Fox is a really fun game if you sit down a play it. I think, for example, an elementary school kid who plays it without any preconceived notions, I think it would be really fun for them. I think it’s also really, really fun for siblings to play it together.”
Bill Trinen had a different pick. He went with Pikmin 3, which he feels is “the most amazing game on Wii U” and has one of the best new multiplayer mode.

When asked by Game Informer if Ubisoft will be present during NX’s launch window, Guillemot responded:
“You can expect we’ll support Nintendo. Nintendo is one of the best partners in the world.”

It now seems that characters for both packs have been outed early. Since this falls into spoiler territory, head past the break for more information.
Digger Dan DX pulled from the 3DS eShop due to takedown notice
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 1 Comment
Digger Dan DX only just launched a couple of months ago, but the game has been put in a very unfortunate situation. Due to a takedown notice from First Star Software, who holds the rights to Boulder Dash, Nintendo told developer that the title needs to be removed. Four Horses says it doesn’t have the money to fight the claim, so that basically means it’s the end for Digger Dan DX.
Four Horses said:
I’ve received notice from Nintendo this morning that Digger Dan DX is being pulled from both NOA and NOE eShops as they have received a takedown notice from First Star Software, owners of the rights to Boulder Dash.
I’ve not found details of the copyrights they have registered yet so am unable to determine what rights they think it has broken, but as far as I can tell, it is likely to be gameplay elements which I am pretty sure cannot be protected by copyright.
Regardless, Nintendo are pulling it (it is currently still on the NOE eShop, not sure about NOA), and I don’t have the money to fight them, so Digger Dan is no more.
We can confirm that Digger Dan DX has been removed if North America. It’s apparently still up in the game, but definitely not for very long. It’s a very unfortunate situation.
