Monolith Soft Working on 3DS Game
Monolith Soft, Xenoblade Chronicles’ developer, has opened a recruitment page seeking staff for the following positions, effect designers, motion designers and 3DCG designers. All three positions are for their newly formed Kyoto studio.
Apparently, Monolith Soft will have its new studio develop a new 3DS game. Which is good news for the 3DS, since in my opinion it’s still in need of more games. Gamers can only play Ocarina of Time and Resident Evil Revelations for so long until they get bored.

New Witcher 2 trailer shows off some impressive visuals
If this newly released trailer for the upcoming 360 version of Last year’s hit PC RPG is any indication, then it appears that very few sacrifices were made in Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings’ transition to consoles. We can’t help but feel impressed by CD Projekt’s efforts, and hopefully this is a sign of things to come.
…PS3 version anyone?
Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition will be released for the Xbox 360 on April 17th.
