Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
A third round of Shin Megami Tensei IV downloadable content has come to Japan. Players can purchase DLC that provides a new costume for the protagonist, who can dress as Asmodeus. Atlus has also introduced the “Breaking the Archangel Wings 1” mission.
The new mission tasks players in taking on the four archangels, but only two of them are in the mission. Once the two are defeated, you can add them to your party through fusion. It won’t be easy – a powerful party will be needed to beat them.
Breaking the Archangel Wings 1 is priced at 250 yen. The Demon Skin costume pack is available for 200 yen.
Atlus will release Breaking the Archangel Wings 2 next next week.

Activision has announced its lineup for E3 2013.
The publisher intends to highlight three games at the expo this year: Call of Duty: Ghosts, Skylanders: Swap Force, an Destiny. The first two will be playable; the latter will not.
Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said:
“This is obviously a big year – not just for Activision, but for the entire industry. There’s a console transition coming and naturally, everyone wants to see what new possibilities that will unleash in the games. We remain laser focused on delivering the things we know our gamers care about most: great gameplay, immersive worlds, and cool innovations. And that’s what our amazing lineup at E3 this year will deliver.”

[Famicompendium] Umihara Kawase – Ridiculous fishing

Welcome to Famicompendium – a new regular (or at least semi-regular) column where I’ll be taking a look back at the best and worst the world of import gaming has to offer. From the Famicom to the Wii, I’ll be exploring some of the most fascinating titles to never be officially released in English.
I thought I’d start the column off with an adorable, charming and brutally difficult platformer from the 90s. Lately we’ve been giving a fair bit of coverage to a little 3DS game called Sayonara Umihara Kawase (and hopefully even more once an English version is announced at E3 – don’t leave me hanging, Agatsuma) so it’s worth examining just who the heck Umihara Kawase is and why we’re saying goodbye to her.

Natsume won’t be localizing Medabots 7
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Medabots 7 came out in Japan close to a year ago – September, specifically. Now that we’re in June of 2013, time is running out for the game’s possible localization.
You can probably write off a western release of Medabots 7 at this point. When the 3DS game was mentioned on Natsume’s Facebook page, the company said that it “doesn’t look like Medabots 7 is in the cards.” Although, Natsume gave a small glimmer of hope for the localization of a future Medabots title by saying: “Hopefully maybe the next one.”
