A scan from of the latest Nintendo Power suggests that Chunsoft’s Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die is to be released in North America by Aksys. According to the scan, posted by GoNintendo, the follow-up 999: Nine Hours, Nine Doors, Nine Persons will be released on 3DS later this year in the fall. The title was released in Japan for Vita as well, but the article doesn’t mention that bit – it is a Nintendo-centric magazine after all. The news follows a tease Aksys put on its website a couple weeks back stating: “You might want to pick up the next Nintendo Power, on stands on 2/28, for a very special announcement.” According to Siliconera, the firm also teased a “mystery game” heading to our fair shores in the fall as well – back in December.  Sounds as though all signs are pointing to yes on this one despite the “No comment” from Aksys on the matter to the site.

What mysterious games will Aksys release in the coming year? Magic 8-ball says “try the egg roll”. Not the most helpful answer.

According to the latest issue of Nintendo World, Shifting World is on its way to 3DS. The original flash game appeared on Armor Games and is on the way to full retail release thanks to Aksys. The action puzzler allows players to turn the level upside-down, switching solid black areas to white space. It boasts 60 levels and a variety of obstacles like switches, teleporters, low gravity and exploding barriers. No release date as yet.

Thanks, GoNintendo.

Aksys Games has announced BlazBlue Revolution, the largest 3v3 tournament for the Arc System Works fighter series to date. The finals will be held in Japan in March 2012, and Aksys will supply airfares and accommodation to the winning trio of the US arm – plus a special bonus if by some twist of fate, they beat their Japanese rivals. Haaaa. US qualifiers will play out in Southern California, and more details will be available through the event’s website on December 17.

BlazBlue is a series of closely-interlinked fighters with an emphasis on technical combos, much like spiritual precursor Guilty Gear. It boasts two core entries, one spin off, plus portable versions and revisions.

Its been revealed that BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger will get a PC release next year in France, as well as an already announced PS3/360 European release.

So far it seems only France is mentioned, not Europe as a whole.

It seems that for any PC gamers looking for a fighter since SFIV may have another reason to hate the French. The first obviously was Thierry Henry.
