3DS

Wow, there really has been a lot of news about Ace Attorney 5 making the rounds lately. Just yesterday we we reporting about the game’s localisation and earlier today the game’s Tokyo Game Show demo was made playable online (only in Japanese, naturally). Now a rather legitimate-looking Famitsu scan is showing off a couple of familiar faces that are set to make a return appearance. Unless you want to surprise yourself when the game releases later this year, head on over the break to check it out.


These are the only assets sent out by D3Publisher for Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW! and Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby In 8-Bit Land. We’ll have to wait a bit longer for screenshots.


This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:

Shin Megami Tensei IV (3DS) – 9/9/10/9
Resident Evil: Revelations HD (Wii U/PS3/360) – 9/9/10/8
Kamen Rider Battride War (PS3) – 9/8/8/8
Valhalla Knights 3 (PSV) – 8/7/7/8
Tamagotchi no Dokidoki * Dream Omisetchi (3DS) – 8/7/8/8
Z/X -Zillions of enemy X- Zetsukai no Crusade (PS3) – 8/8/8/7
Terraria (PS3) – 8/7/7/6


A new Monster Hunter 4 area is introduced in the latest issue of Famitsu: the icy waters/frozen sea. You can expect the Urukususu to appear in this area as well as some kind of new monster that roughly translates to “Sukuagiru” (someone else may have a better name later).

We’re waiting for further details and clarification from Famitsu leaks, so sit tight for more information about this new ice area.



Nintendo plans to ship the Metallic Red Japanese 3DS system in Japan this month. To be clear, this is the older 3DS system, not the 3DS XL model.

The Metallic Red 3DS system will be available on June 13. Pricing is set at 15,000 yen.


Capcom USA senior vice-president Christian Svensson commented further on the decision to release Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies in the west as a digital download only.

One fan expressed some concern about limiting the game to the eShop. By releasing the title digitally, the thought was that its visibility and sales would be limited.

Svensson isn’t too concerned. He wrote on the Capcom-Unity boards in response:


Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter has provided his NPD hardware estimates for the month of April 2013.

Based on retail checks, Pachter tells CNET that Wii U sales are down to 55,000 units – a 19 percent decrease compared to March. Pachter also says that Wii sales stand at 75,000 units.

Other NPD estimates include 205,000 units for the Xbox 360, 185,000 units for the 3DS (up 46 percent year-over-year), 165,000 units for the PlayStation 3, and 30,000 units for the PlayStation Vita (down 57 percent year-over-year).

We’ll know if Pachter’s estimates were correct when the NPD report goes live this Thursday.
