Terra Formars: Fierce Battle on the Crimson Planet character details
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Today’s Terra Formars: Fierce Battle on the Crimson Planet update introduces us to five new characters. Siliconera translated their bios, which can be found below.
Akari Hizamaru:
Michelle K. Davis:
Michelle is the miracle child, who was born with the powers of the Paraponera, which gives her extraordinary strength and durability. She also has the powers of a Blast Ant to blow up the Terraformars.
Shokichi Komachi:
Shokichi gets his powers from that of the Japanese giant hornet. He fights using his twin stingers with poison in both hands, and he also goes berserk, just like the Japanese hornets that are known for its aggression.
Marcos Eringrad Garcia:
Marcos has the powers of a Huntsman Spider, which gives him power, ferocity, and speed. While he may have it all going for him, his endurance is his weakness, which leaves him vulnerable at times.
Keiji Onizuka:
The Peacock Mantis Shrimp is where Keiji gets his powers from. Similar to Michelle, his strength and durability are his best attributes. He can also regenerate his limbs, so losing an arm or leg against the Terraformars shouldn’t be that big of a deal to him.
You can find several new screenshots and art from the game here.

Youkai Watch 2, Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire lead holiday sales in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 3 Comments
According to Media Create, gaming software sales in Japan during the end-of-year holiday period came in at 10.854 million units. The sales tracker calculated end-of-year sales based on the seven weeks from November 17th, 2014 to January 4th, 2015.
Software sales in Japan stacked up similarly to the same period the year prior (100.36% of 2013). Youkai Watch 2 (2.447 million units) and Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire (2.591 million units) accounted for 45 percent of total Japanese software sales during the end-of-year holiday period.
Wii U software sales were 112.95 percent of 2013. It was the only system aside from the 3DS to experience an increase in software sales.
Overall hardware sales on the Japanese market during the end-of-year season stood at 1.74 million units. Hardware decreased to 83.42 percent of the same period from 2013. The 3DS dipped a bit to 93.96 percent of 2013, which could be because most of its popular software sold to existing 3DS owners rather than new buyers.

Nintendo of Australia email lists new Fire Emblem 3DS game for 2015
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 2 Comments
The new Fire Emblem game for 3DS is heading to Japan this summer. It’d probably make sense for it to arrive overseas this year then, right? While we don’t have official confirmation, an email from Nintendo of Australia suggests that the new Fire Emblem will indeed launch in 2015. I’d be surprised if this doesn’t turn out to be true!

Choice Provisions interested in bringing Woah Dave! to the NES
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Woah Dave! came to the 3DS eShop a few months ago. Sometime in the future, the game could end up launching on another – albeit much older – Nintendo system.
Speaking with Tiny Cartridge, Choice Provisions’ Jason Cirillo said that the company is interested in making a NES version.
Cirillo stated:
“Yes, we are very keen on doing a cart-based version of Woah Dave! Our preferred platform would be NES because the NES is rad. I think we can all agree on that.”
“I imagine we might have to tone down the gameplay just slightly to keep people’s NES consoles from exploding, but it might be possible.”
“In fact, our own Adam Rippon who has so expertly ported Woah Dave! to various console, has an extensive knowledge on coding for legacy hardware such as Game Boy and the like.”
