During Level-5’s “Vision” event in March, a few new 3DS games were announced. One of these was Yo-Kai Sangokushi, which is a new collaboration title in partnership with Koei Tecmo.

This week’s issue of Famitsu has an interview with Koei Tecmo Games head Hisashi Koinuma. As expected, Yo-Kai Sangokushi was one of the things the magazine asked about.

Famitsu starts off by mentioning that he surprised by the fact that Yo-Kai Sangokushi is a collaborative title between Yo-Kai Watch and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This led Koinuma to say:

Romance of the Three Kingdoms has its 30th anniversary in 2015, so everyone in the company is excited. I think Yo-Kai Sangokushi is a fitting title to adorn the 30th anniversary. I’m especially happy that Level-5 president Akihiro Hino likes Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Epic Mickey director Warren Spector held a Reddit AMA a few days back. Spector shared plenty of insight about the original game and its sequel, and tackled some very interesting questions. He was asked about topics like Epic Mickey’s dark concept art that never seemed to be realized, how he tried pitching a film based on the series to Disney, and the one thing about Mickey he couldn’t show.

You can find a full roundup of Spector’s comments below. They’re certainly worth checking out!

The Legend of Legacy appears to be coming west. During the latest Shin Megami Tensei Network podcast, Atlus PR manager John Hardin apparently let it slip that the RPG is being localized.

Hardin said:

We did announce The Legend of Legacy is coming over here, and we have another one in the can too that I can’t talk about just yet. But another really niche Japanese game that actually isn’t out yet, we’re bringing that over for the 3DS later this year. What could it be?

Regarding the other mystery 3DS title, it’s possible that Hardin may have been referring to Stella Glow. Some people are speculating that he may have forgotten which of those two 3DS games Atlus had already announced. Stella Glow was confirmed for the west just over a month ago, while The Legend of Legacy still hasn’t been officially announced for North America and Europe. That could be changing soon.

Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains will launch in North America on May 12, Atlus announced today. It will be sold via the eShop for $39.99.

Unfortunately, Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains has been delayed in Europe due to a copyright claim. The game will also be called “Shingeki no Kyojin: Humanity in Chains” throughout the continent. Atlus hopes to have updated news about the European release date soon.

Lastly, those who purchase Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains or Shingeki no Kyojin: Humanity in Chains will receive a unique Attack on Titan 3DS theme for free.
