Shin Megami Tensei IV will cost $50

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

If you want to play Shin Megami Tensei IV, you’ll need to fork over a bit of extra cash. The game will cost a bit more than the average 3DS title.

In its localization announcement earlier today, Atlus confirmed that Shin Megami Tensei IV will be a $49.99 game. It’s not often that we see 3DS titles priced that high, and it’s a fairly niche game, so it’ll be interesting to see how well it performs on the market.

Capcom announces new IP Gaist Crusher for 3DS, includes manga, anime, and more

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Capcom has announced a new children-centric IP – specifically targeting “elementary school age boys” – known as Gaist Crusher. The game component of the franchise will be made for the 3DS and will be released in Japan this winter.

Gaist Crushers is described as an action game – you can see how it plays out in the trailer above. Capcom plans to take advantage of its “expertise in producing content for children” and “high-grade multiplayer capability” in creating the project.

Beyond games, Capcom has plans to expand Gaist Crushers through manga, anime, music and toys. Saikyo Jump and V Jump will handle the manga, Pierrot Co., Ltd. will produce the anime, Pierrot Co., Ltd. will be in charge of music, and Bandai Co., Ltd. will be responsible for toys. The company calls this “an expansive cross-media project.”

Shin Megami Tensei IV releasing in North America this Summer

Posted on 11 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

In a Megaten megaton announcement (well really it was just a press release and a webpage) Atlus have announced that the latest installment in the long-running Shin Megami Tensei series will be playable on North American 3DS consoles in just a few months. The news isn’t too unexpected considering that Atlus are also releasing the far more niche Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, but it’s nice to see that they’re announcing the localisation before the game is even out in Japan. We don’t know too much about Shin Megami Tensei IV yet, but the game looks to feature plenty of demons to recruit and fuse, moral choices to make, and weaknesses to exploit in a revised version of the series’ “Press Turn” battle system. No word on whether the ridiculously cool Shin Megami Tensei 3DS XL will also make it stateside.
