Director Shigeru Ohmori elaborated in an interview withIGN. “When we were makingPokémon XandY, we really were trying to push the 3DS system to its absolute limits – which is what we thought we’d done.

A PC-bound RPG about taming and hoarding monsters There’s no topplingPokémon, but there are still gaps in the marketplace for well-made mimics, particularly when it comes to non-Nintendo platforms. That’s where my mind is at right now withDisc Creatures, an upcoming PC role-playing game about roaming the land to collect and battle monsters. Revolutionary? No. Neat enough to hold my interest? Absolutely. I need my very own Bladeguin. I only just this minute learned what a Bladeguin is, but every moment I don’t have one is torment....

This is coming so fast, but I definitely sawMega Manin there. Secret Levelis supposedly a series of original short narratives set around various video games.

Supertrick Games updated fans on its next project. The developer ofLet it DieandDeathverseexplained how this next title combines the best parts of each of its previous releases to make something it believes fans have been searching for.
