Inafune-san and Aizu-san also discussed the character design of Gunvolt for US version. #gunvolt

— gunvolt_official (@GunvoltOfficial) April 16, 2014

Inafune-san concluded that Gunvolt keeps "braided hair" in US version too. Because he emphasises the design. #gunvolt

As for the "bare midriff", leave the Gunvolt's separate clothes design as it is, we decided to make him wear the black skin tights. #gunvolt

Coming from a USGamer interview with designer Chris McQuinn...

"It could be that [if the game goes the multi-touch route] we come up with ways to make those mechanics work on systems without that feature, but if we find that multi-touch is essential to the game, then that means it'll only show up on devices that support it. We want to do what's best for the game."

If the game were to go multitouch, that would eliminate both Wii U and 3DS as options. Let's hope that's not the case. If you're worried that might happen, hit up DrinkBox on Twitter and let them know!

The following comes from a Polygon interview with Toys for Bob co-founders Fred Ford and Paul Rouse...

"We had been directed towards thinking about something that would play well with Nintendo. I think there was some co-marketing money and the Wii was doing well. They had some success with peripherals." - Ford
"They (Nintendo) spent a long time looking and looking. They were just like 'we have never seen anything like this before.' I've always wondered about the full meaning of that comment [laughs]. We have no idea why (Nintendo turned it down). Clearly, they have got properties well suited to this world. Why it is that they didn't rush in here will probably haunt them for the rest of their days. Nintendo could have kicked Disney's ass. If I was running Nintendo I would have jumped on this." - Rouse

I would certainly love to see this company bring their next title to Wii U. For those that don't know, thatgamecompany was behind titles like Journey and FlOw. Thanks to EmbersToAshes for the heads up!

Rune Factory 4 has managed to ship over 200k in Japan and the devs behind the game are ready to celebrate. The video above showcases voice actress Hisako Kanemoto checking the game out, and also announcing an opportunity to get a signed autograph. To my understanding, if you share her video above via Twitter between certain hours, you'll be eligible to get an autograph for yourself.

On top of that, Rune Factory 4's eShop version is going half-price for the celebration. From now until May 9th, Rune Factory 4's eShop version will cost just half of what it normally does!
