Bravely Second details
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Square Enix has shared some of the first details about Bravely Second, the true sequel to Bravely Default.
Bravely Second is set in Luxendarc – the same world as the first title – but several years after the Warriors of Light saved the world.
Magnolia Arch is one of the new characters players will encounter. This “Devil Buster” came from the moon, has a daredevil personality, and is the last of her kind after a Demon Lord unexpectedly appeared. Magnolia is also sociable, eccentric, pragmatic, and a romanticist. She’s dainty, but lively. Magnolia rescued Tiz Arrior at one point.

Genius Sonority interested in Denpa Men 3 localization, new entry would change the game style
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 2 Comments
In August, Genius Sonority released the third Denpa Men title on the Japanese 3DS eShop. We haven’t heard much about a western launch, but president Manabu Yamana tells us that the company is interested in bringing the game out overseas.
Yamana said in a soon to be published interview:
Yes, if it is possible, I’d like to release The Denpa Men 3 in North America and Europe.
We’ve seen three Denpa Men titles in a relatively short timespan – a trio of games in less than two years. Genius Sonority may want to continue the series, but if the studio does so, expect a change in game style.
If there is to be another continuation of The Denpa Men series, I would like to change the game style thoroughly as the first three titles of The Denpa Men series were of the same format and style.
