Care to see Youkai Watch in North America and Europe? Level-5 wants to know.
On Twitter, the official Level-5 International America account wrote:
Between the game and the anime, Yo-kai Watch is a success in Japan! Would you like to see Yo-kai Watch in the US/EU? http://t.co/sFgMsAMLXf
— LEVEL5_IA (@LEVEL5_IA) February 18, 2014
Perhaps with enough interest, we’ll eventually see Youkai Watch – the game, anime, or both – overseas.

[Famicompendium] LovePlus – Together in electric dreams
Posted on 11 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in 3DS, DS, Famicompendium, Features | 3 Comments
Hey everyone, how was your Valentine’s Day? Maybe you spent the day with your loved ones; maybe you spent it devouring chocolate. Personally I spent the day slaving over a Word document, trying my hardest to convey my true feelings on a truly bizarre romance. No, I wasn’t writing some kind of love letter – I was musing on Konami’s hella heteronormative “girlfriend simulator”, LovePlus. Games tend to stay away from handling romantic relationships, especially when compared to other mediums, so I was curious to see if this Nintendo DS title was really as original (and weird) as I’d heard. So can love truly blossom between a grown man and a DS cartridge?
The answer to that question is no. Absolutely not. But as someone who is fascinated in the potential of games to blend narrative and gameplay in developing fictional relationships, LovePlus is an incredibly interesting, albeit flawed take on interactive romance.

Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez says he hasn’t given up on The Binding of Isaac for Nintendo platforms
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News | 14 Comments
Nicalis isn’t done trying to bring The Binding of Isaac to Nintendo platforms. Founder Tyrone Rodriguez, writing on Twitter, said yesterday that he still hasn’t “given up on” finding a way to make a version happen for the big N’s systems (presumably 3DS at the very least).
Rodriguez’s tweet in full:
Hey @NintendoAmerica, Isaac and I haven't given up on you yet.
— Tyrone Rodriguez (@tyronerodriguez) February 17, 2014
One of the main obstacles preventing a release of The Binding of Isaac on Nintendo platforms is the game’s religious aspects. Nintendo won’t approve it due to this content.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark officially announced
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Activision has officially announced Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, set to release on various formats in June.
Here’s the game’s official overview:
Serving as a follow-up to both the upcoming TRANSFORMERS live-action film and Activision’s TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON and TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON titles, TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE DARK SPARK jumps worlds and factions as it weaves the tale of the hunt for an ancient relic as powerful as the Matrix of Leadership – the Dark Spark. Players will be able to switch between the heroes of the noble AUTOBOTS and the nefarious DECEPTICONS throughout the single-player campaign. Similar to High Moon Studios’CYBERTRON entries in the highly regarded series, gameplay features nimble, fast-paced running-and-gunning combat paired with traversal and vehicle action across open battlefields for large-scale, dynamic conflicts.
Rise of the Dark Spark will feature the return of Escalation – a wave-based, survival-style gameplay mode that supports up to four players online cooperatively. Players will also find new, upgradeable defense systems, recognizable adversaries, and even more playable characters from past and present.
Developer Edge of Reality has also included a new leveling system so that progress is unified in single-player and multiplayer. “Experience earned in any part of the game unlocks potent awards and tactical loadout choices – including new characters, stronger weapons, special abilities and consumable bonuses – for use throughout the entire game,” Activision says.
