Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate director on the new Felyne jumping attacks
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Capcom showed a new trailer for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate in a Japanese Nintendo Direct held last month. The video showed a new feature in which Felyne companions can launch hunters up into the air to attack monsters.
Director Kaname Fujioka has since explained how it works. He told Siliconera:
“The way the system with the Felynes works is quite different from what we had in [Monster Hunter 3]. When you bring your Felyne companions along with you in 4, they have stats, just like any other character would.”
“And what happens is, when you have other players who bring their own Felynes along, depending on how the stats match up, they’ll end up performing different things to help you out. They can lay traps, they can notify you when enemies are in a weakened state. It depends on what kind of Felynes you have, and how they combine with the other ones during the quest.”
“One of the new things we added specifically for 4 Ultimate over 4 is that, one of the things these Felynes can do now is launch the player up into the air. And that does behave essentially the same way as a jump attack. Same damage, same animation. It allows you to do it in places you couldn’t normally perform a jumping attack.”
Senran Kagura 2 sells through 49% of initial shipment, Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2 sees 43% sell-through rate
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson managed to sell 46,494 units in its first week on the Japanese market. Unfortunately for Marvelous, that’s the lowest debut for any Senran Kagura game and it’s about half of what Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus did at launch. Deep Crimson also sold through only 49.13 percent of its initial shipment while Shinovi Versus, the series’ last entry, sold 94,324 copies at launch with a 93.37% sell-through rate.
Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2 also hit Japan last week, but the game performed quite a bit better. It had a low sell-through rate (42.89 percent) like Senran Kagura 2, but the game moved 81,584 copies. The title is currently on track with Ultimate Mission 1, which sold 88,386 copies in its first week and went on to sell 290,000 copies.

Natsume is continuing its series of developer diaries for Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, and has revealed new details.
First, producer Taka Maekawa discusses how caring for and raising animals will work:
“While we were first developing Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, we called it by a code name: Back to Basics. We’ve applied this philosophy to many aspects of the game, including the animals available on the farm. We went back to the basics: cows, sheep, chickens, and, of course, horses.”
You can find a whole bunch of animal details below, and a few art pieces above.
