Update: Despite showing game images on 3DS, Level-5’s new website says platforms are TBA. This should still be bound for Nintendo platforms, but it may end up on something else instead… like NX, perhaps? In any case, we’ll continue to label Megaton Musashi as a 3DS game until we hear otherwise from Level-5.

Today, Level-5 finally unveiled its latest cross-media project: Megaton Musashi. We have confirmation that the new IP will appear on 3DS.

Here’s what we know thus far:

– Takes place on Earth
– Year 2118
– Invaders from outer space known as “Dorakuta” devastated the planet
– The protagonists and main characters pilot giant machines called “Musashi” to combat the Dorakuta
– Memories of mankind’s downfall have been erased from the minds of the human race, who were evacuated to a shelter at the time of the Dorukatua’s invasion
– Protagonists: Ryougo Hijikata, Yamato Ichidaiji, and Teru Asami
– These characters seem to be “chosen people” whose minds were not erased

Megaton Mushashi will be receiving a TV anime plus a multiplayer-style action RPG on 3DS and seemingly tablets. You can watch a trailer for the anime below.

During Level-5 Vision 2016, the first actual gameplay from The Snack World was shown on 3DS. A new CG trailer also debuted. Both can be found below.

The Snack World makes it possible to play as protagonist Chup or go on an adventure using your own characters. Level-5 is also incorporating the keychain items “Jara” in real life, which can connect with the game to obtain weapons. Various Jara “brands” will exist with their own characteristics.

The Snack World launches for 3DS in July 2017.

Level-5 Vision 2016 is about to begin. In about 10 minutes, Level-5 will be making all sorts of announcements, though it’s unclear how much will pertain to Nintendo platforms. We should hear more about Snack World at the very least, which was previously confirmed for 3DS.

You can watch Level-5 Vision 2016 as it happens below. If there are any Nintendo-related announcements, we’ll have them right here. It’ll be a 90-minute stream, followed by a fan event.

Yo-kai Watch 2 is only available in Japan at the moment. This will change once both versions head to North America on September 30, but what about the rest of the world?

While there hasn’t been an announcement yet, it seemed like a certain bet that Nintendo would eventually bring Yo-kai Watch 2 to Europe and Australia. And thanks to a classification from the latter continent, it’s now all but confirmed. Ratings for Yo-kai Watch 2 have appeared in Australia. Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls were both added to the database today. Guess Nintendo will have something to say soon!

Thanks to Jose for the tip.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance originally came to 3DS in 2012. Even though it’s been four years since then, fans have stumbled upon a potentially interesting discovery.

OmegaErkz streamed a variety of areas from Kingdom Hearts 3D on YouTube yesterday – see below. At the 2:53:20 minute mark, there’s an unused location made up of 11 rooms (maps, areas) that seems to be based on Treasure Planet.

Although some may assume that it could be a demo version of the Captain Hook ship from past Kingdom Hearts titles, this looks quite different. It also doesn’t quite match up entirely with the ship from the movie. If that wasn’t enough, code from this group of assets has the title “tp”. Maps from other Kingdom Hearts releases has area codes such as “tt” for Twilight Town or “pl” for Pride Lands. Also remember that Square Enix has left over unused content in the past.

Here’s the full stream recording from OmegaErkz:
