Shinji Takeda is producing. In the past, Takeda acted as the producer of the Devil Survivor series. toi8, who previously worked on .hack//The Movie and a film based on Chain Chronicle, is providing character designs for this title.

Atlus is developing Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem internally, and the team is focusing on the theme of modern Japan with characters that grow from various concerns and troubles in a RPG. It’s set in the real world, but there is a secret fantasy world that exists in parallel with characters from Fire Emblem.

Everything we’ve been hearing about the Greninja amiibo thus far has indicated that the figure will be exclusive to Toys “R” Us. That would certainly make sense given that Lucario was also exclusive to the retailer. When we receive an official confirmation, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Now that April Fools’ Day has passed, we can rest easy when it comes to yesterday’s announcement of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth for Wii U and 3DS. It’s really happening. Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez made a point to stress this on his Twitter account a few hours ago.

There is just one important thing that needs to be mentioned: on 3DS, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is planned for New 3DS rather than the original 3DS systems. We also know that Nicalis plans to bring the game to Europe.

Head on below for a collection of Nicalis’ tweets, which also feature a few short clips from The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.

Of all the games I’ve reviewed for Nintendo Everything over the years, Monster Hunter Tri might be one of the most memorable. Stepping out of Moga Village for the first time was a wonderful moment reminiscent of Richard Attenborough welcoming everyone to Jurassic Park… mostly because there were dinosaurs there. Though the controls and sluggish swordplay took a bit of getting used to, I eventually warmed up to the actual gameplay, giving the game an respectable, yet arbitrary score of 9/10. Now I find myself returning to the hunt with the recently released Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and it turns out that the series has actually evolved quite a bit since 2010’s Tri. While the games look similar on the surface —if anything Monster Hunter 4 looks like a downgrade, with the visuals scaled back to fit on the tiny 3DS screen— there are a of lot of things that have been changed for the better. I think it’s worth comparing these two entries to see how far the series has progressed in the last few years and some of the ways that Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate improves on the formula.
