New details on Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The Digimon franchise is getting a new entry on 3DS in Japan, and Bandai Namco has provided some more details by opening their official site. The game bases itself (logically) around the fact that, with smartphone apps becoming very popular in the world, new Digimon have come into existence. These special Digimon, called Appmon (short for Appli Monsters), are the basis of the game. Players will build decks around Appmon, which can then grow, fight, and link with other Appmon. New Appmon can also be acquired via QR code. Furthermore, Appmon can be combined via a process called Appfusion to create new Appmon (for example, the website shows that fusing Gacchimon and Navimon will create Dogacchimon).
Though the game is due out on the Japanese eShop this fall, neither a localized release nor a retail release have been announced or dated.

Beyblade Burst announced for 3DS
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Through publisher FuRyu, a new Beyblade game is on the way to 3DS. Beyblade Burst will be released in Japan on November 10 for 5,780 yen. An official teaser site is located here.
Beyblade Burst is based on the anime and comic of the same name. According to an Amazon Japan listing, it follows the plot of the show since you encounter and battle the same characters. There are over 25 characters from the anime, six of which are playable.
Battles probably play out like the other games. You can move your Beyblade around and unleash flashy special attacks. When you’re not battling, Beyblade Burst lets you explore the city and challenge other Bladers.
Ultimately, the goal is to collect parts and become the strongest Blader. You can customize your Beyblade with different parts – apparently there are 3,000 possible combinations, stretching to 10,000 if you include different colors. You’ll also be able to battle others locally, and a “gacha” StreetPass mode will be included.

It was clear that Metroid Prime: Federation Force would have some sort of amiibo support thanks to the game’s boxart. Nintendo has now shared first details about what’s actually included.
In Metroid Prime: Federation Force, you can scan different amiibo to add a paint job to your Mech in Blast Ball matches. You can see what Mario and Bowser bring to the table in this post.
Samus and Zero Suit Samus also have a specific use. You can tape either of the two for “helpful in-game upgrades.”

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 18 Comments
Later this year, Natsume will be bringing out Harvest Moon: Skytree Village. It’s the second game in the series following the split with Marvelous over the Bokujo Monogatari titles, which Natsume previously localized. Harvest Moon now refers to the games that Natsume makes internally.
Polygon spoke with Natsume vice president of operations Graham Markay about Skytree Valley at E3 last week and the franchise as a whole. He commented on how the series is constantly evolving, the divide with Story of Seasons, and more.
Head past the break for some of Markay’s responses. You can read Polygon’s full article here.
River City: Tokyo Rumble will have a limited edition physical release
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
Initially, River City: Tokyo Rumble was only going to be distributed as a digital title. But while an eShop release is still planned, Natsume vice president of operations Graham Markay has now confirmed to Polygon that a limited edition physical release is in the works as well.
Markay told the site:
“[Tokyo Rumble] was going to be digital-only. You don’t have to sell to retail or try to explain or try to get the physical product placed on store shelves [with online exclusive releases]. That gives you the ability to take a few more chances.”
“When we announced [Tokyo Rumble], there was an outcry of, ‘It better be physical.’ So we’re going to do a limited edition physical release.”
River City: Tokyo Rumble is scheduled for release this year.
