Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has issued a challenge to Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto. Guillemot is looking for Miyamoto to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was recently called out by Xbox boss Phil Spencer to take part in the same event. Reggie hasn’t posted his video yet, but we can apparently expect big things.

Miu Hinasaki

– She’s never known the love of parents and feels empty
– Heads to the mountain believing her mother is there
– Voiced by Maaya Uchida

Ren Hojo

– Failure of an author
– Has known Yuuri for ages
– Whimsical and is scolded by his assistant for it
– He hears of a custom involving burial photos, and goes to the mountain to research for his new book. Voiced by Tatsuhisa Suzuki

Hisoka Kurosawa

– Owner of the shop
– Uses kagemi skills to search for lost things
– Goes to the mountain to look for a missing girl and vanishes
– Voiced by Atsuko Tanaka

Rui Kagamiya

– Ren’s assistant
– She respects him, calling him sensei, and as well as helping him out she thinks of him as family
– Voiced by Maaya Sakamoto

Locations

– Explore 3 main locations at the start
– These include forest and buildings around the mountain

Mikomori Onsen

– An abandoned old, big house known as a famous ghost spot where lots of ghosts are

Kurosawa Antiques

– Also a cafe
– Yuuri lives and works here
– People come here to request lost things be found, or have their fortunes told by Hisoka

Shirazu no Mori

– A forest in the mountain
– Ever since it became famous as a suicide spot, there’s been a big fence around it, which people sneak in through
– There are also rumors of a murderer hiding inside

Gameplay

– Plays out a bit like mission mode
– Choose your mission and then you unlock new missions
– You can replay missions as much as you’d like
– Once you complete the chapter goals, you get the next chapter
– Your goal is to find people
– Each person has different reasons for going to the mountain and getting there, so you’ll have to gather as much info about them as you can
– You can use something that’s like a “scent” of a person from things like a hair, their documents etc.
– That aids your “kagemi”
– Then you use your clues to search for them
– If you chase the memories of them you’ll find them, so you have to follow their past footsteps
– When you find them and “bring them back” from their spiriting away, it’s mission complete, but you’ll have to watch out for the ghosts lurking
– You can also use your “ghost sight” to find hints from ghosts
– Looks kind of like hidden ghosts in other games
– Gameplay on the TV
– Map on the GamePad
– The touch system for picking up items is back
– Ghost hands are also back
