Nintendo has provided concrete information about its DLC plans for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE in the west. At launch, players will be able to grab additional five packs for the game.

They are as follows:

• Costume Set: Get new costumes for Itsuki, Tsubasa, Touma and Kiria.
• Tokyo Millennium Collection: Participate in a fashion show and get extra outfits for Tsubasa, Kiria and Eleonora.
• EXPeditious Hunter: Battle through a dungeon filled with enemies that yield experience.
• Masterful Hunter: Gain materials used to level up weapons by fighting enemies in this dungeon.
• Savage Hunter: Defeat difficult enemies in this dungeon to earn rare items.

Nintendo also said today that the EXPeditious Hunter, Masterful Hunter and Savage Hunter DLC can be purchased together for a reduced price in the Hunter Support Quest Pack.

All DLC that released in Japan is here – with one exception. At least for now, it doesn’t appear that the Hot Springs add-on content will be offered outside of Japan. This was comprised of extra swimsuits and programs that could be viewed on a television featuring the characters in the new costumes.

Retro Sumus has taken to Kickstarter in hopes of funding Xenocider, an on-rails 3D shooter which takes inspiration from the likes of Galaxy Force and Sin & Punishment. If successful, the project will be made for a number of platforms such as 3DS.

Xenocider needs $92,000 to reach its goal. With four weeks remaining, a little over $16,000 has been raised thus far. A Wii U stretch goal also awaits at $170,000.

Take a look at Xenocider’s pitch video below. You can visit the Kickstarter page here.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice is covered quite extensively in the latest issue of Famitsu. The magazine goes over episode 3, and introduces new characters in the process.

Here’s the lowdown:

– Maya arrested on suspicion of murder when a priest is killed during the final rite of her training
– Both were alone at the time in the shrine
– When the murder happened, Maya was playing the role of the country’s mythical bird princess
– Said to have protected the country in a time of conflict
– The bird princess is so popular there’s a show based off of her, “Torisaman” (a play on “Tori”, bird, and “Tonosaman”, the JP name for the Steel Samurai)
– Nayuta returns to Kurain to take the case
– Ema is traveling with him
– She offers to help Phoenix in his investigation with the old Luminol magic
– Two new characters are revealed who have direct ties: Nanashiino Ganbe and Saara Aatam
– Nanashiino Ganbe: a man so amnesiac he’s appended “Tentative” to his own name
– Saara Aatam: the victim’s wife
– Aatam seems to be hiding something
– This leads to the re-introduction of the Psyche-Lock system
– Druk: leader of the revolutionary forces known
– Inga Karakhul Kurha’in: Rayfa’s father
– Inga is not only the husband of the queen but the Minister of Justice in the country, making his struggle against the revolutionaries that much more personal
– Revisualization makes its return
– Unlike AA5 where the process was shown as moving from left to right, here it’s visualized as diving “into” the screen

Earlier today, Nintendo announced that the 2DS price point will be lowered to $80 next week. That was accompanied by a promo which we posted a few hours ago.

Towards the end of the video, Nintendo shows off what appears to be a new slogan: “There’s no play like it”. What do you guys think? Love it? Hate it? Indifferent?
