In January, Marvelous announced that Rune Factory 4’s European release had been cancelled. The company had explained, “While Marvelous AQL has made every effort to secure the title’s release for this territory, it is, unfortunately, not possible to do so at this time.”

Most assumed that the European cancellation was connected to the closure of Neverland, Co. – the game’s developer. XSEED executive VP Ken Berry elaborated on the situation through Facebook, explaining that the studio’s termination meant that technical difficulties couldn’t be addressed.

He wrote:

“Wish it was that easy as obviously everyone involved in the project would love to see it released in Europe, but it’s very difficult from a technical aspect since the people closest to the code are all gone (the Forbidden Magna team does have people from Neverland, yes, but for example the main programmer for RF4 is not one of them).”

Looks like another Inazuma Eleven game is heading to Europe and Australia. We recently came across a listing on the OFLC for “Inazuma Eleven GO: Light”, which as far as we know, hasn’t been officially announced by Nintendo.

Inazuma Eleven GO: Light probably pertains to the first “GO” game in Level-5’s soccer RPG series. In Japan, the game released in the form of two versions – “Shine” and “Dark”.

“Light” should match up with the “Shine” version. We’re waiting to see if the OFLC rates a corresponding “Dark” version for Europe and Australia.

LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids is coming to the 3DS and PlayStation Vita, Warner Bros. announced today. A release is planned for the summer.

Here’s an official overview of the game:

LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids players will face their greatest challenge as they work to protect New Ninjago City from the Overlord’s Nindroid army. Infiltrate Borg Tower, fly the Kai Fighter and face off against the evil Tech Wu. Take to the streets in Cole’s Earth Mech and Jay’s Thunder Raider, defend the skies in Zane’s Ninjacopter, escape Pythor on Lloyd’s Golden Cycle, and enter the Digiverse for an epic final battle. Story mode features additional favorite characters like Nya, Sensei Garmadon, Samurai X, and PIXAL.

Hellbent Games is working on Nindroids as an action-focused sequel to 2011’s LEGO Battles: Ninjago for DS. It’ll feature 30 levels and a story that follows key plot points from the “LEGO Ninjago Rebooted” animated series.

Players will need to use special movies and combo attacks to progress. LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids also offers secret weapons such as Technoblades to hack into computers to solve puzzles and defend the city.
