| badgenome said: Good newz: Valhalla Knights 3 is getting online patched in for the western release. Even if it's just a throwaway multiplayer arena, I was kind of worried about the fact that MP was ad-hoc only. Didn't really expect them to go the extra mile and do this, but the fact that they have is making me preorder! Now that you officially represent Marvelous in the U.S., are Marvelous AQL going to be looking for more feedback from Western players while developing their games?
Yes, because MarvelousAQL is really eager to expand their presence in the Western market. One of the things we’re doing in the near term to cater to Western players is adding online support to Valhalla Knights 3.
In Japan it released with only ad-hoc 2-player versus mode, but we knew with the population in North America being much more spread out, as well as the still growing penetration rate of the Vita hardware, that if we wanted Western gamers to really enjoy the versus feature that online connectivity had to be added. It's also interesting to note that XSeed sounds higher on the Vita than they do on the 3DS and are looking at more Vita games to bring over (like Mind 0, hopefully!). |
They've apparently applied to license some more Vita games (along with games from other platforms), but they haven't reached any new agreements or anything to announce just yet.
