Have hope! It looks like the game hasn't been scrapped yet.

Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem appears to still be in the works over at Atlus, according to Nintendo's latest earnings release.

While we haven't heard a thing about this game since it was first unveiled in January 2013, the Wii U-exclusive crossover is still included in Nintendo's launch schedule. There's no release window for the game, however, so don't expect it to hit store shelves anytime soon.

Nintendo has remained profitable in the third quarter ending December 31, but 3DS hardware sales are way down.

The Wii U sold a little more than 3 million units in 2014, compared to the equivalent time period last year in which approximately 2.8 million units were sold. However, the 3DS sales... Read more...
