3DS

The only video we have for The Great Ace Attorney 2 is the announcement trailer from September. Next month, Capcom will be showing something much more substantial.

Producer Motohide Eshiro and director Takeshi Yamazaki along with Japanese voice actors Takayuki Kondo (Phoenix Wright) and KENN (Apollo Justice) will be appearing during a 15th anniversary live stream on Niconico. The event will feature a trip down memory lane exploring the series’ history, a general talk show about the franchise, fan questions, popularity poll results, and the first in-game footage of The Great Ace Attorney 2.

The live stream will take place on April 17 at the following times:

– 5 AM PT
– 8 AM ET
– 1 PM in the UK
– 2 PM in Europe

Bandai Namco uploaded a second trailer for its Japanese 3DS game Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission X today. We have it below.

Nintendo has been involved with a legal battle concerning 3DS over the past few years. Tomita Technologies previously claimed that the handheld uses similar glasses-free technology that the company patented. However, on Friday, a United States Appeals Court confirmed that the 3DS features technology that is “significantly different” than what’s covered in in the filing.

The New York Federal Court ruled in April 2016 that Nintendo did not infringe Tomita’s patent. It’s the second win for Nintendo by the Appeals Court, which first reversed a 2013 judgment against Nintendo. Tomita also attempted to enforce a similar patent claim in Japan, but was unable to do so.

Ajay Singh, Nintendo of America’s Director of Litigation and Compliance, said in a statement:

“We are very pleased with the Court’s decision. Nintendo 3DS has never used the technology in Tomita’s patent, and the Court’s ruling confirms Nintendo’s long tradition of using its own innovative technology. This case also proves once again that Nintendo will aggressively defend patent lawsuits when our products do not infringe, even when we must do so over many years, through multiple trials and in multiple countries.”

With Azure Striker Gunvolt 2’s DLC having been released in the west this month, footage of the content is spreading online. Several videos showing what’s new are posted below.

Towards the end of last week, Bandai Namco published new details about Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission X. We have a better idea about some of the modes.

In Ultimate Heroes Mode, players can enjoy an original story that’s only available in this game. It’s an adventure to rescue two worlds: the Dragon Ball Heroes world which has unusual events, and the real world which has also been affected To solve the unusual events happening in the Dragon Ball Heroes world, players will need to capture the Time-Space Door.

Countless incidents happen beyond the Time-Space Doors. They are split into stages where players have to solve each one.

We have another couple of videos for Fire Emblem Echoes stemming from its appearance at PAX East last week. View the gameplay below.
