There are some older amiibo that are in stock right now as well. These include Peach, Zelda, Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Luigi, Mario, Pikachu, Samus, and Yoshi.

Last year, RideOn Japan released “Adventure Bar Story” on the Japanese 3DS eShop. The title features a mix of tavern simulation and RPG gameplay.

Thanks to Circle Entertainment, it now looks like Adventure Bar Story will be brought overseas. The company posted a couple of English screenshots on its Twitter account earlier this week, so Adventure Bar Story should come to the North American and European 3DS eShops in the near future.

Here’s the tweet for reference:

GameFly listed Terraria for Wii U and 3DS earlier this week. At the time, we couldn’t be sure if those listings were legitimate or innocuous errors. But thanks to new findings at a different retailer, it seems quite possible that 505 Games is indeed bringing Terraria to both of Nintendo’s platforms.

Terraria popped up for both Wii U and 3DS on Amazon today. A $29.99 price point is listed, along with a tentative October 31 launch date.

There is one strange thing about this situation: GameFly has since pulled its Wii U and 3DS Terraria listings. GameFly tends to be reliable more often than not, so I’m wondering if that was done simply because 505 Games hasn’t made an announcement yet. Either way, we’ll try to get an official answer from the company.

Geoff Keighley tried something different for The Game Awards. There were fewer celebrities, a greater emphasis on developers and gaming culture, and Spike TV was not at all involved. Overall, most would say The Game Awards were far better than Spike’s Video Game Awards (later VGX).

The Game Awards’ success means that another show is planned for 2015. During his panel at PAX South today, Keighley confirmed that he’s looking towards bringing it back. Just don’t expect to hear anything until much, much later in the year.

Atlus has shared new English assets for Etrian Mystery Dungeon. First up is a beauty shot of the “Sights & Sounds of Mystery” bonus, which is available in the game’s launch edition.

Here’s an overview as to what’s inside:

Secure your ownership of the North American-exclusive collectible outer box that contains a limited edition CD-book package. The “Rough Sketch Ver.” soundtrack CD contains six “rough” versions of the musical themes found in Etrian Mystery Dungeon. The 28-page book contains art and information to aid you in cultivating the best party to help you triumph inside the mystery dungeons.

Next, we have an English trailer showing the Protector class:

And here’s the overview:

Let me paint a nightmare scenario for you. You’ve just successfully cleared a floor in a dungeon, found an awesome weapon in a treasure chest, got tons of gold and crafting drops from monsters and are mere steps away from the exit when a group of enemies respawn and tear your party to shreds; the hard-earned gold, experience, and loot lost forever to the sands of time.

Well worry no more, because that’s why Etrian Mystery Dungeon has the Protector class! This battle tank uses their high DEF stats and tower shield to create an immovable object of damage-soaking toughness. Combining provoking taunts with ability binds, a well-leveled Protector is key to surviving against rare monsters, bosses, and worse!
