XSEED says Marvelous is thinking about how to keep the Rune Factory series going
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Rune Factory 4 came out in Japan back in 2012, and a year later in North America. That was the final game developed by Neverland before the studio closed its doors – though some members of the team were absorbed into Marvelous for Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven’s creation.
Although there hasn’t been any sort of news about a new Rune Factory entry over the past couple of years, XSEED Games executive VP Ken Berry told Destructoid that there have been discussions about how to keep the franchise alive. Parent company Marvelous is also aware that “fans are clamoring for a sequel and are looking for ways to make it happen.”
Berry said:
“There are continuing discussions on how to keep the Rune Factory series going, despite Neverland, the original developers, no longer being around. Hopefully, something will come of that in the not too distant future, because Rune Factory 4 was the best-selling title in the series, I believe, and it’s a series that’s been growing and growing over the years. Marvelous knows fans are clamoring for a sequel and are looking for ways to make it happen.”

Pandora’s Tower (Wii download) heading to the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 55 Comments
Pandora’s Tower is coming to the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow as a Wii download, Nintendo’s website reveals. The game should be available for $19.99.
For those who haven’t heard of Pandora’s Tower previously, here’s a handy overview:
Pandora’s Tower tells a haunting tale about a cursed young woman’s slow transformation into a hideous beast and the lengths to which the man she loves will go in order to save her. Aeron must brave the Thirteen Towers, which are suspended in the middle of a valley by chains connected to surrounding cliffs, and use his magical Oraclos Chain weapon to retrieve the flesh of the giant monsters that reside within each tower. He must feed this “master flesh” to Elena in order to reverse her transformation. Aeron’s interactions with Elena during their time together have a direct impact on the story, as the strength of their bond will determine which of the multiple endings is achieved.
Pandora’s Tower arrived on the European Wii U eShop back in April.
