Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D re-releasing in Japan, can start a new game
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Capcom will be re-releasing Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D in Japan on December 13. It’s basically the same as the original version, but this time around, players will be able to start a new game. You may remember that when Mercenaries 3D originally launched, there was quite an uproar regarding the difficulty in deleting save data.
There’s only one other differences in this new version, as far as I can tell – Capcom has removed the Resident Evil: Revelations demo.
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D Best Price! will be hitting retail on December 13 for 2,990 yen. A digital version will go up on the 3DS eShop on December 27 for 2,600 yen.

River City Ransom game heading to the Japanese 3DS eShop
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Arc System Works has a new River City Ransom title in the works. Famitsu has a first look at the downloadable entry this week.
Players will control of the series’ main rival Riki in Riki Densetsu. He used to be a star player for his school’s soccer team, but was issued a suspension after a revenge beat-down. You see, Riki wasn’t pleased that half of his own team was attacked by a rival school before one of their big matches. As a result, he decided to get some revenge.
Riki is now a complete delinquent. In the game, he’ll take on a Mushamonzen which is led by Okada.
Screenshots posted in Famitsu imply that Riki Densetsu will be a typical River City Ransom. It features side-scrolling gameplay and IP’s classic art style for characters.
Riki Densetsu will be released on December 12 for the Japanese 3DS eShop for 800 yen.

The system itself costs $175 to repair. Slightly less – but still expensive – is the GamePad at $85. For what it’s worth, the console repair charge is for the Deluxe model.

It looks like tonight’s Nintendo Direct mini was created for one primary reason. Satoru Iwata hosted a live presentation to announce and show off a new Nico Nico app for Japanese Wii U systems.
The app will work on any television once connected to the service. Wii U owners can search for videos on the GamePad and then watch the content on the TV – and yes, HD is supported. Rankings are supported, as are a favorites list and playlists.
Japan will be receiving the Nico Nico app on December 8, when the Wii U launches in Japan. It will be available as a free download.

Dragon Quest X to use cloud saves on Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Dragon Quest X players on Wii U won’t have to get involved with any storage setups. The game will make use of cloud saves, which means that users won’t have to fumble around with hard drives or alternative USB storage. This news will likely come as a relief to 8GB Wii U owners, as they’ll never have to be concerned about not having their progress around at all times.
