A couple of Japanese Zelda: Tri Force Heroes commercials have now hit Nintendo’s Japanese YouTube page. View them below.

A 3DS theme based on the Game Gear came to Japan back in February. In the near future, this will be made available in the west as well.

SEGA posted the following on Twitter a short while ago:


I imagine we’ll be seeing the theme within the next few weeks! We’ll let you know if the other SEGA themes are releasing overseas.

This week’s issue of Famitsu shares the first details about Shin Megami Tensei IV Final. Additionally, the magazine contains an interview with producer Kazuyuki Yamai.

Yamai first talked about how the project came to be:

“We were wondering if there was anything we could do that’s characteristic of Maniax [makers of the enhanced version of Nocturne with Dante, and also Shin Megami Tensei IV] and as we investigated on what could be done, we realized that we just wanted to make a completely new title, and the development started there. ‘Let’s use this occasion to make everything clear’ – those are the thoughts that went into this title, and that’s why we put ‘Final’ in it.”

There are two major points for Shin Megami Tensei IV Final. The first is the necessary “reality” that shows mankind at their limited state while the other is having players step into its ambiguously told story. The latter is because it’ll be a simple RPG in terms of gameplay. The theme is about “should I bond with, or kill them all?”

Amazon Japan posted the boxart for SEGA 3D Reprint Archives 1+2 Double Pack. We’ve attached it above.
