Unchained Blades Exxiv localization under consideration at XSEED

A few months ago XSEED released a unique dungeon crawler called Unchained Blades as a downloadable title on the PSP. The company also is planning on releasing a 3DS version of the game on the eShop, though an exact release date for that version is currently unknown.

Obviously the lack of the 3DS version has worried many about what will become of the series and if the game’s sequel, Unchained Blades Exxiv, would be localized. One inquisitive fan took to the company’s Facebook page a few weeks ago and asked them just that. GoNintendo managed to catch their response to this fan which followed as thus:

“We’re still struggling to get the original out on 3DS first. After that’s finally out the door (hopefully December), then maybe we can start thinking about the sequel.”

Unchained Blades Exxiv contains many of the same themes as it’s predecessor with some minor improvements and, ironically, it is also meant to be released on the PSP and 3DS in Japan. So whether or not this sequel ever makes it to Western shores will likely have a lot to do on if XSEED can manage to release Unchained Blades on the 3DS and how well the game sells on the eShop.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn alpha footage of the ‘Black Shroud’ released

Some new footage of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn was released a few days ago and can be seen below. In the video below we see two different characters explore the Central Shroud area which is apparently in The Black Shroud zone.

It is worth noting that the footage only shows exploration and the amazing graphics that Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will sport when it is released and those looking for combat footage will be disappointed. Currently Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn does not have an exact release date, though Square Enix is aiming to release the game on both he PC and the PS3 at the same time.

Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus’ box art revealed

Today Marvelous AQL revealed what the official box art for Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus will look like once it has been released to stores in Japan on February 28th next year. As you can see the the right (click the image for a larger version), the box art features the classic main character Asuka facing off against one of the new characters in Shinovi Versus, Yumi.

Currently Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus has only been given a release date in Japan and although possible localization of the game is very slim, fans of the franchise can easily import the game thanks to the fact that the Vita’s physical games are region free. Various details including some more information about Yumi and other characters in the game can be found on the game’s official website here.

Resident Evil: Revelations rated for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

If you thought that you never picked up a Nintendo 3DS but still want to play Resident Evil: Revelations then we have some good news for you. If these listings from Korea’s video game ratings board are to be believed, Capcom is planning on releasing Resident Evil: Revelations for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

It is worth noting that these ratings are brand new as the 3DS version of Revelations was already rated back in July. Currently Capcom has not spoken up about these ratings but it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to assume that a possible digital release of Resident Evil: Revelations in HD may occur sometime in the future.

0

Today the developer behind 2011’s Brink as well as the PC version of the game Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Splash Damage, added a simple teaser to their official website. As you can see in the image above, the teaser tells us that something will be announced on November 29th.

Unfortunately for those who want to guess the title, there is little information, in fact there is practically nothing to go on. Though given the company’s history with FPS and their… sales… perhaps this is something entirely new for this team of developers. Stay tuned to find out more next week when this teaser is fully unveiled.

Naruto joins Toonami’s line-up in December

Yesterday Jason DeMarco, VP of strategic marketing and promotions for Adult Swim revealed over Twitter that Naruto would be joining Toonami once again. Past fans will note that Naruto was still part of Toonami’s schedule back in 2008 when the programming block was discontinued.. However things will be a little different this time around as Naruto will be shown without any cuts which means it will contain all of the blood that the DVD versions of the show had.

Naruto will begin airing on Saturday December 1st at 11:30 PM CST. It is worth noting that Naruto Shippūden, the follow-up to the original Naruto series, is currently licensed by Disney so fans of Toonami should not expect those episodes any time soon.
