Capcom says Monster Hunter 4 is one of their big games for this fiscal year
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Taking its place aside Lost Planet 3, Monster Hunter 4 is poised for a massive marketing push and support in the west as Capcom plans on having it and the aforementioned sci-fi shooter hold up the company into the coming fiscal year. We saw something vaguely similar happen with Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii which sold fairly well for what it was, but I’d wonder if the more “core” orientation of the 3DS will help out Monster Hunter 4 where the third couldn’t gain traction.

Marvelous AQL working on Pokemon Tretta Lab for 3DS
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
With official backing from Nintendo, Marvelous AQL created “Pokemon Tretta” for the Japanese arcades. It has players collecting different “Tretta” – take a look above for some examples.
What exactly is Pokemon Tretta, you ask? In it, players scan different Tretta into the machine, call out the appropriate Pokemon, and then engage in a 3-on-3 battle. Those who win receive new Tretta.
Pokemon Tretta is now making its way to the 3DS. Marvelous AQL has been put in charge of the project once again. Each copy will come with a Tretta reader device.
Pokémon Tretta Lab for 3DS is due out on August 10th for 3,800 yen.

Marvelous USA says Senran Kagura Burst in the west is a “scary proposition”, digital release possible
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
You know that super-Japanese, large-breasted 3DS fighting game Senran Kagura Burst? Well, a lot of gamers want the title to come to the west, despite some obvious cultural differences that might make it somewhat difficult to sell in large quantities, so Siliconera decided to ask Marvelous USA (formerly known as “XSEED”) if they’d ever bring the game over, considering that they are the premier Japanese localizer:
– Marvelous USA Director of Publishing Ken Berry
This would be exactly why digital distribution is such a wonderful tool, even if we don’t want to use it for every single title out there. I’m not sure if I would pick up Senran Kagura if it came to the 3DS eShop, but I can definitely think of a few people who would and those few people might just be enough to help Marvelous turn a profit on the product. It’s tough to say either way.
