A look at Fire Emblem If’s Ito-Yokado pre-paid card, more game details
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The Fire Emblem If news continues to roll right in. First up, we have a look at a new pre-paid card that can be used at all Seven & I Holdings-owned stores (Ito-Yokado and 7-Eleven) in Japan. The card will be included with the Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher), but will be limited in availability.
Next, we have another round of details about Fire Emblem If from Famitsu and Dengeki. You’ll find those below.
– Important note: Gunter’s “Great Butler” class was a typo and should be “Great Knight”
– Hidden Weapon can be equipped by both classes
– These sit alongside Lances in the revamped weapon triangle and are good against Swords and Magic, but weak against Axes and Bows
– Hidden Weapons can temporarily decrease enemy stats; are 1~2 range weapons as well
– Felicia (of the Maid class) is shown in one screenshot defeating enemies with an “Iron Hidden-Weapon” or healing with staves
– Butlers can equip Hidden Weapons and Staves too
– Maid (and Butler) seems to be a promoted class
– Ninjas are locked to Hidden Weapons, but they likely have better attacking abilities than Maids and Butlers
– The Ninjas (Suzukaze and apparently a Fuuma Soldier) are equipped with Iron and Steel Shurikens
– Steel Shurikens is the Hoshidan version of Hidden Weapons
– Suzukaze’s Iron Shuriken boosts his Speed by 2, while reducing his enemy’s Magic by 2, Defense by 3 and Resistance by 3 until the next turn
– The enemy’s Steel Shuriken also seems to boost Speed by some unknown amount
– Female Dark Mage called Nyx
– Nyx can equip Fire and Fimbulvetr tomes and can at least promote to a Sorcerer
– Classes apparently have a base stat for Luck
– The spell-casting effect no longer conjures Tellius’s ancient text, like it did in Awakening, instead summoning something closer to runes or European symbols
– Sakura is shown holding a “Spring Festival” healing baton in one Dengeki screenshot
– The Avatar seemingly doesn’t have access to his/her dragon-transforming ability all of the time
– Hoshido has an eastern-themed version of all of the present weapon types: Katana (Sword), Naginata (Lance), Mace (Axe) and Baton (Staff)

Rumor: Tara Platt would have voiced Aero in Mega Man Legends 3
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 1 Comment
Capcom pulled the plug on Mega Man Legends 3 a few years ago, but we’re just now starting to learn who would have voiced Aero in the game.
In an old interview posted to the Mega Man Legends 3 Devroom, it was revealed that Aero’s voice actress grew up without a TV. It was also stated that this person worked on a game with Mega Man characters a year before the interview.
This information suggests that Tara Platt was behind the voice of Aero. Not only had Platt voiced Tron Bonne in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, but an interview recently discovered on YouTube has her stating that she did not have a television set growing up.
Platt has plenty of voice acting experience. Her previous roles include Temari in Naruto, Reina in Rave Master, Noir in Tales of the Abyss, and Mitsuru Kirijo in Persona 3.

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. off to a very slow start in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 18 Comments
Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. debuted in Japan last week. Sadly, it’s almost an understatement to say that it’s off to a very slow start.
As Media Create didn’t include Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. in its latest charts, it was an indication that the game sold under 2,000 units. This is something that Famitsu confirms with its own sales figures. According to the site, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. moved just 1,835 copies in Japan.
