A few Jake Hunter series were released for the DS. Now the detective is ready to make his debut on Nintendo’s latest portable, the 3DS.
Roughly translated as Detective Saburo Jinguji: Rondo of Vengeance, the story kicks off as a dead body is found in Jake’s car. Even though he’s innocent, the police nevertheless take his fingerprints.
The new Jake Hunter title is just a few months away from release despite its announcement in Famitsu this week. Arc System Works will be publishing the game in Japan on June 28 for 5,040 yen.

The Creator of Super Smash Bros. Delivers an Action-Packed Portable Game with Airborne and Land-Based Battles, Wireless Multiplayer Modes, Augmented-Reality Features and Stunning 3D Visuals
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo 3DS users are in for an unforgettable adventure when Kid Icarus: Uprising launches across North America on March 23. With immersive 3D graphics and boundless action that up to six players can enjoy together, the game makes extraordinary use of the portable Nintendo 3DS system’s unique wireless capabilities and augmented-reality features. It also marks the return of a fan-favorite Nintendo character, the heroic angel Pit, who made his debut in the original Kid Icarus game for the NES console. From the mind of Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai, Kid Icarus: Uprising invites experienced and new gamers alike to discover the fun of this timeless franchise as they embark on an epic journey with Pit by air and on land.
In Kid Icarus: Uprising, Pit must defend himself against the dark goddess Medusa and her malevolent Underworld Army. With help from Palutena, goddess of light and guardian of the human race, he battles enemies in the air and on the ground as each chapter is divided into Air Battle and Land Battle stages. Players can enhance the action with a nearly unlimited arsenal of collectible weapons, from Bows to Cannons to Claws, each with its own unique characteristics and play style. Players can also fuse weapons together, resulting in a single weapon that combines certain characteristics of the original two.

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Nintendo of Japan has published the first edition of the Japanese Iwata Asks interview for Fire Emblem: Awakening. Producer Hitoshi Yamagami, Intelligent Systems project manager Higuchi Masahiro, and character designer and illustrator Yusuke Kozaki were some of the staff who participated in the discussion.
A few details have been transcribed from the site, which you can find below. We’ll likely get a fully translated version of the column once Awakening comes close to its European launch later this year.
– Making a Fire Emblem set in modern times or setting the game on Mars were ideas suggested at the beginning
– Yamagami refers to the modern Fire Emblem as “Fire Emblem 2011”
– Yamagami/Masahiro were thinking about what would end up being Fire Emblem Awakening game during the development of DS remake Fire Emblem: Shin Monsho no Nazo
– Thought about using a different world or modern times
– Ultimately went with an idea to make Awakening into a compilation that brings together all the good elements of the series- Kozaki said this is the first time he’s needed to draw a lot of characters for a game
– Someone from Nintendo had contacted Kozaki to make roughly 60 characters
– Kozaki asked if his work would be for a Fire Emblem game, but was told that the identity of the game had to be kept secret
