Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
It was only yesterday that Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night cleared its prequel mini-game stretch goal on Kickstarter. With $4.5 million having been raised, Inti Creates is being tasked with creating this smaller title for a few platforms, including Wii U.
We can now say that this same mini-game will be on 3DS as well. Combined with PayPal donations, the Bloodstained Kickstarter has surpassed $4.75 million. That amount was needed in order to bring the prequel mini-game to portables.
Bloodstained’s Kickstarter has one final stretch goal to hit before the campaign ends. If funds reach $5 million, the game will feature a rogue-like dungeon mode.
You can check out Bloodstained on Kickstarter here. 13 hours remain before the campaign ends.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth – no save syncing or local multiplayer, release date this month, $15
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 8 Comments
Over on Reddit, Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez stated that the Wii U and 3DS versions of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth will not feature save syncing. In other words, it won’t be possible to transfer save data between the two versions.
Rodriguez also ruled out local multiplayer for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, as well as patches. He explained:
Patching after release is unlikely. It might seem like a “small” feature, but it’s actually quite time consuming to add multiplayer. Even local wireless multiplayer has effectively the same amount of code as doing true online MP.
Lastly, Rodriguez confirmed that The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth will cost $15 on Wii U and 3DS. There’s no release date yet, but we should be hearing something this month.
Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 Edit Mode details, gameplay
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Videos | 0 comments
Koei Tecmo shared new details about Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 today ahead of the game’s June 30 release date.
Read up on some information regarding the Edit Mode below.
Among the key features of the game is the edit mode, where the player can create their own character. Being implemented from the fan-favorite version released with Samurai Warriors 4, the edit mode allows for a very deep level of customization and vast selection of facial features, armor, weapons and accessories. What is unique in Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 though, is that for the first time players will be able to equip their customized characters with the default costumes of the famous warriors they befriend!
Creating and maintaining relationships with officers and warriors is a very important part of Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3, as it allows players to listen in to their thoughts and plans and affect them to their desired effect. In that way the game takes a different turn, as the story mode is completely in the players’ hands and the outcomes of battles, alliances, and ultimately the conclusion of the game, is altered by their actions.
Koei Tecmo also published a pair of gameplay videos today:
