Yumi’s Odd Odyssey launch slips to February
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 2 Comments
Natsume announced a January release window for Yumi’s Odd Odyssey last month. While that target won’t be met, we should be seeing Agatsuma’s platformer in the US very soon.
Natsume tells us that Yumi’s Odd Odyssey is unlikely to hit the eShop this Thursday. For now, the publisher guesses the game will be out “in about 2-3 weeks.” That’d put Yumi’s Odd Odyssey at around a mid-February launch.

Square Enix trademarks “Curtain Call” in Europe
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Square Enix localized Theatrhythm Final Fantasy for the west, so it’d only make sense for the sequel, Curtain Call, to make its way to overseas territories as well.
If a European trademark is anything to go by, Square Enix is already planning a western release. Deculture discovered a filing for “Curtain Call” in Europe, which is almost certainly a reference to Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call.
While not official, hopefully this is a sign that we’ll be seeing the rhythm game in the US and Europe in the future.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate coming west in early 2015
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 7 Comments
After announcing Monster Hunter 4G for Japan earlier today, Capcom followed up with a confirmation for the west. Indeed: Monster Hunter 4G will be arriving in North America and Europe in early 2015 as “Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate”.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is said to be “built on the foundations of Monster Hunter 4 but have way more content.” “In typical Monster Hunter fashion, you can expect to see a number of returning older monsters, but also a great selection of new threats to challenge you in unique ways,” Capcom teased.

Zelda: A Link Between Worlds devs on Link’s wall-merging ability
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Famitsu recently caught up with a few members of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds team to gain insight into the project’s development. Director Hiromasa Shikata, lead programmer Shiro Mouri, and lead designer Koji Takahashi spoke about a number of topics, including Link’s wall-merging ability.
Here’s a roundup of what was shared, courtesy of Siliconera’s translations:
Shikata on how Link’s ability to become a painting and part of a wall came to be…
“The thought of having link become a drawing on a flat surface seemed interesting to me; an idea that came out of nowhere. However, I thought that simply having him be part of a flat surface would’ve made it no different than a side-scrolling game, so we thought it would be better to have him turn along the corners of the walls, after further consulting with the [other members of staff].”
GameStop Italy, GameStop US say Watch Dogs Wii U cancellations were due to an error
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
And so the Watch Dogs Wii U cancellation saga has, thankfully, come to an end. GameStop Italy and GameStop US say that the whole situation of pre-orders being removed was due to an error in its system. The game can be reserved once again for Wii U, and there shouldn’t be any confusion from here on out. I have no idea why Ubisoft didn’t just come out and say that the game was in the works from the get-go, but at least we finally have an answer!
