[TGS 2016] Megami Meguri impressions
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Previews | 1 Comment
Nintendo Everything was at this year’s Tokyo Game Show! We had a low-key presence at the event, but we did manage to try out several upcoming Japanese 3DS titles. Look for our impressions in the coming days.
Megami Meguri is Capcom’s upcoming new 3DS game where players communicate with and raise an IC card spirit. The regular game, a free-to-play experience, will be fully downloadable from the eShop. However, there will be also physical Collector’s Package (at 5,800 yen) and a limited Complete Edition at e-Capcom (9,800 yen) that will also come with extra memorabilia.
A demo of Megami Meguri was available at Tokyo Game Show 2016. When we started playing, Amaterasu greeted us in her human form, explaining what we are expected to do to raise the spirit, before converting to a chibi form.

Gotta Protectors’ English version was mainly translated by one person
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Gotta Protector’s localization was confirmed last February. However, it wasn’t until late July that the game made its way to North America.
Localization veteran Brian Gray was the main person behind Gotta Protector’s English version. In an interview with Michibiku, he mentioned that 8-4 helped out, but it was only him who translated the project.
According to Gray:
“8-4 had their usual — awesome! — team looking over everything and handling the bulk of communication with Ancient, but the translation was entirely me.”
In the same discussion, Gray also touched on how he became involved with Gotta Protectors and the origins of the English version. Regarding this, he said:

The objective of Plantera is to create your own garden and grow it with new plants, bushes, trees, and animals. Helpers will eventually give you assistance as your garden grows by picking up things and harvesting your plants – even when you’re not playing. However, other critters will invade your garden and will need to be taken down.
Here’s a trailer for the game:

Nintendo UK store will have more Pokemon GO Plus stock late next month
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
The Pokemon GO Plus device only just arrived last week, but fans are already having a tough time tracking it down. In Japan, we heard that new shipments aren’t expected until early November. The situation is better in the UK, though only slightly.
Nintendo UK mentioned on Twitter recently that its store will have more stock of Pokemon GO Plus in late October. That means we’re probably about a month away before the accessory returns again.
Thanks to A732 for the tip.
