Pokemon X and Y may feature 3D visuals, but it isn’t a reboot in the slightest. Pokemon Company International director of consumer marketing J.C. Smith says that these latest games simply represent “new things and express the world in a new way.”

“There’s never been a conscious decision to reboot. There’s always been an evolution of the look and feel; it just happens to be that we played Black and White, and Heart Gold and Soul Silver, and Diamond and Pearl, and Platinum — all of those games on the same platform. So it feels like it’s been a long time in the same way. But between the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color, and moving up into the DS now, it’s always had that change. There’s never been a conscious decision to reboot, it’s just a decision to try new things and express the world in a new way.”

Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission is incorporating a new feature. The arcade-to-3DS title will contain a scouter that allows players to determine their power levels. Look into the 3DS camera, and the game will then take a picture of your face.

There’s more to the scouter than just a power level indicator. By scanning people, users may receive Zeni and items. Great Ape Vegeta may also appear if you scan a high enough level, and you’ll be able to fight him with friends.

Fantasy Life won’t just be a standalone release. In this week’s Famitsu, Level-5 confirmed it has plans to turn the IP into a franchise.

When asked about its plans for the year ahead, Level-5 said the company intends for Fantasy Life to be the first game in a larger series.

The news shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Fantasy Life is already experiencing sell-outs in Japan and has been quite popular.
