Swords & Soldiers II is joining Affordable Space Adventures as one of the Wii U eShop’s more expensive titles. Last week, Ronimo Games confirmed that its game will cost $19.99 / €18.99 / £16.99.

The studio has since weighed in on Swords & Soldiers II’s pricing decision, and has explained why they feel it’s appropriate for the market. Read on below for their comments.

Swords & Soldiers II is a self-funded passion project, created with a lot of care and craftmanship in over 3 years of development. The whole game has been built from the ground up to support the new and amazing hand animated art style and kickass new gameplay features, such as:

– Two completely new factions and one upgraded classic faction, adding lots of new units, spells and buildings.
– the Custom Army feature, allowing players to build their own army out of over 45 elements.
– Multiplayer mode where each player has their own screen, fully utilizing the Wii U gamepad.
– Epic and ridiculous narrated storyline with sidequests and minigames and over 40 challenging bonus objectives to complete.

There should be room for bigger, better and higher quality indie games. We feel Swords & Soldiers II is such a game and the price is a reflection of that.

Rumors have been circulating about a restock of the Meta Knight amiibo at Best Buy, and Nintendo confirmed last week that the character would be restocked along with other figures “over the next few days”. Now we may know when that will be taking place.

Best Buy is rumored to be obtaining new Meta Knight amiibo shipments on May 20. However, it won’t be until May 29 until new units begins to appear in stores.

May 29 is certainly turning out to be a big day for amiibo given the release of new Smash Bros. and Splatoon figures. Let’s not forget about silver Mario as well!

Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX will no longer be releasing this month as originally planned. Today, SEGA announced that the 3DS title will now arrive on September 8 in North America and September 11 in Europe.

SEGA has also revealed a new North American “Launch Edition” for Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX. It’ll come with the game itself, premium outer box packaging, and a 3-foot wallet chain designed after Hatsune Miku’s iconic belt. Additionally, all copies of the game will include 19 double-sided augmented reality (AR) cards that show off additional dance moves and costumes.

You’ll find additional details about Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX along with screenshots below.

In collaboration with Good Smile Company, a popular Japanese figure company, Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX features Miku and all of her friends in their Nendoroid figure style. The game features 48 full-length versions of fan-favorite songs players can challenge themselves with by trying to match the rhythm in “Tap Mode” and “Button Mode,” each with multiple difficulty levels, which can be further augmented with challenge and support items.

But the rhythm game is just one facet of Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX – players can also customize a virtual apartment for their favorite Miku character with decorations, seasonal items, and more. The Mirai Theater has replay functions so players can watch their favorite videos and add scrolling commentary. Choreograph entirely new routines by making new moves in the Dance Studio, and compose brand new song phrases in My Tune. This info can all be shared on customizable Profile Cards, which can be shared via StreetPass and kept current via SpotPass.
