Just yesterday we we reporting about the game’s localisation and earlier today the game’s Tokyo Game Show demo was made playable online (only in Japanese, naturally). Now a rather legitimate-looking Famitsu scan is showing off a couple of familiar faces that are set to make a return appearance. Unless you want to surprise yourself when the game releases later this year, head on over the break to check it out.

Arc System Works is renowned for its BlazBlue and Guilty Gear fighting games. But on the Japanese 3DS eShop, the company released something completely different: Korokesu.

Korokesu is an action-puzzle game with dice-rolling elements. Here’s everything we know about it:

– Push, pull, and spin the dice around
– Need to delete the dice by getting similar faces on the dice to touch each other
– Two modes: Trial and Puzzle
– Trial: get the highest possible score by deleting the surrounding dice in the span of 3 minutes
– Get a higher score by chaining them together for combos
– When you delete dice, it takes a short while for them to completely disappear
– If you can manage to get another dice to fit in before they disappear, it activates the chain effect
– This deletes more dice and increases your score
– Puzzle: stages and dice positions are already set and your goal is to delete them
– 50 different stages included in Puzzle mode
– Game has a high score board and achievements that can be acquired by meeting certain conditions in the game
– Unconventional story
– Takes place in a galaxy far away
– The people of the planet Saikorogashi (Saikoro is dice, Korogashi is roll in Japanese) spent their days happily rolling dice
– One day, they decided to hold a contest to see who the best dice roller on the planet is
– Prince decided to participate as well
– Prince’s expression makes it hard to know what he’s thinking about, but he seems to be more excited than usual regarding the upcoming tournament
– King shows intense feelings and secret supports the anxious prince
– 500 yen

Capcom USA senior vice-president Christian Svensson commented further on the decision to release Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies in the west as a digital download only.

One fan expressed some concern about limiting the game to the eShop. By releasing the title digitally, the thought was that its visibility and sales would be limited.

Svensson isn’t too concerned. He wrote on the Capcom-Unity boards in response:

Goodbye Galaxy Games, the developer behind the DSiWare titles Flipper, Mace Mathician, and Color Commando, is hard at work in its first 3DS eShop game. Circle Entertainment will publish the project, which goes by the name “Tappingo”. Designer Hugo Smits told Nintendo Life that Tappingo is “a real puzzle game” similar to that of Picross.

Future games from Goodbye Galaxy will likely remain on the 3DS. Smits’ love for handhelds means Wii U releases aren’t being considered currently.

That being said, Smits does have positive thoughts when it comes to the Wii U:

From an indie perspective it looks really good. Unity support will really make it easier. I think Nintendo made some really smart moves there.

From a gamer perspective; I’m not really sold yet on the system. I’m still waiting for that one special game that will keep me hooked for weeks.

For now, I cannot wait to enjoy Donkey Kong on my 3DS XL!

As for development; I don’t think it will happen, I just love the handhelds and I’m probably going to stick with 3DS development. And honestly I think this is a good thing. With Wii U really opening up for indies with Unity, I expect a lot of indie projects going there.

So I think it’s good that a few studios will keep putting out quality and exclusive 3DS content for gamers to enjoy.
