Monolith Soft is going all out in the characters department of Project X Zone. A new blog post on the game’s official site states that over 200 characters will be included. Although allies and enemies represent that number, additional characters will appear only during event scenes.

The same blog post mentions that there will be many enemies taken straight out of the franchises from Namco Bandai, SEGA, and Capcom. Players will encounter these characters as regular foes and bosses.

Finally, the blog made note of a few gameplay-specific details. We’ve posted them below.

– Ally “phase” happens when you can move your ally units
– During this phase, you can freely move the character around his highlighted area similar to RPGs
– Treasure boxes and obstacles will be in the area
– No penalty for making extraneous movements to open treasure boxes and destroy obstacles before attacking the enemy
– This allows you to do a lot in a single phase
– Character’s turn ends after the attack command is selected

Medabots 7’s website has updated, and its brought along some details on the game’s Augmented Reality functionality.

The first print run will include 32 AR cards. Metabee, Rokusho, Blazermate, and other bots are featured. By purchasing both versions of the game, consumers will gain access to all 64 cards.

It’s unknown at this time if AR cards will be offered through other means. Because of this, publisher Rocket Company is advising fans to pre-order at their local retailer.

Thanks to Jonathan A for the tip.

It’s unfortunate but true: the Wii caused a strong divide between casual and core gamers. Lengthy periods of the lifecycle convinced some players that the console lacked more engaging, deep experiences, ultimately leading them to ditch the console.

Nintendo obviously hopes to avoid a similar situation with Wii U. Fortunately, there’s one believer out there who believes the system can appeal to all kinds of gamers.

Speaking with MCV, Ubisoft EMEA MD Alain Corre stated that the Wii U will continue to strike a chord with families, but will “start to please the hardcore gamers too.”

“We are playing both fields because we think it will appeal to the family the way the Wii did, and start to please the hardcore gamers too. We have been a strong believer in Wii U since day one, and a strong vision for gamers. We have been working closely with them, and we know our brands appeal to Nintendo gamers.”

Nintendo hopes your Wii U won’t be collecting dust, as the company wants users to take advantage of its features on a daily basis.

Nintendo UK’s now ex-general manager David Yarnton has said that this won’t be limited to just games. Its usage extends to the online space, TV watching, and more.

Yarnton said:

“Wii U is an unprecedented product. It’s something we want people to pick up every day. Not just for gaming, but also for things like going online and watching TV. The range of software has very broad appeal. I think it will be good for the market.”

Separately, Yarnton discussed demand for Wii U. When asked if people need this console in their lives, he replied:

“A lot of times people don’t realize they need a device like this in their lives until they see it.”
