Dragon Quest XI: Spell of Restoration system revealed, more info & screens of Skill Panel system
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News, Screenshots | 2 Comments
Last week, Dragon Quest XI’s Skill Panel system was revealed via Shonen Jump. Today, the game’s official website was updated with a section on the Skill Panel system (thanks to Gematsu for the translation). It doesn’t really reveal anything new, though it does provide a look at some of the skills you can get, such as Camus’ “Slime Blow”, Veronica’s “Magical Awakening” and Silvia’s “Flute of Fascination”.
The website also revealed an interesting new system – the Spell of Restoration. This is essentially a sort of cross-platform save date transfer. By entering a code, you can continue your adventure at roughly the same point in the story on another platform. However, only the main character’s name and your progress in the story is transferred over – your party’s levels, gold and items will change to a pre-determined value based on your progress in the main story. This sort of save data transfer will initially work with the game’s 3DS and PS4 versions. However, it seems likely that the Switch version will be compatible with this feature as well, once it is released.

As was announced yesterday, two previously held Grand Hero Battles, featuring Female Robin and Navarre are available once again in Fire Emblem Heroes. They will be available until May 2nd.

However, you can receive a second copy of each Hero at both of their available rarities by clearing special quests that are available for the duration of this event. Finally, the Helping Hand quests are available once again for the next two weeks. By clearing those, you can get Universal Shards to level up your characters.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap dev “investigating” physical release, “may or may not happen”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap came out this week as a digital title on Switch. Lizardcube, the game’s developer, isn’t ruling out a physical version.
A new blog post states that the team is “investigating the possibility of doing a physical release later, however if it happens it probably wouldn’t be for all platforms/regions and may be in limited quantities.” Right now it “may or may not happen.”
Lizardcube said:
“The game is a digital download only. We are investigating the possibility of doing a physical release later, however if it happens it probably wouldn’t be for all platforms/regions and may be in limited quantities. We are looking into it; please bear we us that physical goods may not be at our reach and few studios at this point know how to manufacture them e.g. Switch games. So it may or may not happen.”
