Devil Survivor: OC, Kid Icarus, and Ocarina of Time 3D due sometime after early June
Nintendo of America revealed yesterday that marquee titles Kid Icarus: Uprising and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D will ship sometime after "early June" which I'm sure is disappointing for those hoping to pick them up shortly after the 3DS's release, and especially embittering for the delusional folks who expected them to be out on the system's launch day.
It makes sense considering Nintendo has three other major first-party titles that look ready to release sooner -- Nintendogs + Cats, Steel Diver, and Pilotwings Resort. They might not cater to everyone's whims, but that's why the system will be depending on third-party developers to step up. Plus, the company wants to spread out its offerings to prevent long droughts of quality games.
But anyway! Also coming to the U.S. this summer, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overlocked, the 3DS remake of 2009 DS SRPG Devil Survivor with remastered artwork, voice acting, and a special eighth chapter. Atlus provided us with new English cutscene screens:
Yeah, it doesn't look too different from the DS version, but most of you probably didn't play that one! Here's Atlus' story description for Devil Survivor:
"Considered one of the best RPGs of 2009, the original Devil Survivor presented gamers with a novel premise: Tokyo is in full lockdown, the government's swift, coldblooded response to a surprise demon invasion. While you and your friends must solve the nature of the interdimensional rift through which the horrific creatures are entering your world, saving the world is not your highest priority; staying alive, on the other hand, is."
Booyakasha.
