Shin Megami Tensei IV was announced for Europe during a Nintendo Direct over a year ago. Since then, we’ve barely heard a peep about the game’s release.

Despite the silence though, the 3DS RPG still seems to be planned for Europe. Nintendo France’s Stephan Bole told Le Figaro in a new interview that the company is “hard at work on the French translation of Shin Megami Tensei”.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U might be incorporating NFC functionality, new comments from Nintendo France general director Stephan Bole suggest. Bole told Le Figaro in an interview, “The NFC will be used in the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros.” While the interview is certainly trustworthy, we’ll need an official announcement before we can say this is confirmed.

Been a while since we’ve had a 3DS screenshot! Sakurai details an interesting tidbit about team battles today:

In previous games in the series, if you chose the red team in a team battle, your Mario would have been red. But now you can choose any color you want! The color outlining the characters will show their team affiliation.

After revealing plans to revive the cancelled Wii project Sadness as a Wii U exclusive, HullBreach Studios and Cthulhi Games have now said that they do not, in reality, actually possess rights to the IP.

A statement from the two developers reads:

The Sadness IP is in the hands of a consortium with 4 studios currently fighting for the bid, and that while we at HullBreach and Cthulhi would like to make a competing bid and secure rights to Sadness, unfortunately we cannot at this time. Sorry to fans for any inconvenience.

HullBreach and Cthulhi are still very much interested in their own project. However, they may be forced to change the game’s title, meaning what little connection it had to the original Sadness could end up being lost.

Cthuli’s Jeremy Kleve told Eurogamer:

“We very recently have contacted the old developers to obtain rights to the what little IP actually existed and their blessing. Should they work against us we are prepared to change the title of the game and drop any usage of their IP, this however will not slow us down in the least since most of their ideas were just ideas.

“Sadness had us intrigued since it began years ago, and we decided recently that we didn’t want to let it die off completely. We would have acted sooner if we were capable back then, but as you know the consoles weren’t as open to indies as they are now.”
