Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney rated for Nintendo 3DS in South Korea
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Some unexpected news on the Ace Attorney front today: the South Korean media ratings board has rated Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney for Nintendo 3DS. This would suggest that a port of the DS game is going to be released on the 3DS. The game was ported to iOS and Android devices in December 2016 and received higher resolution graphics in the process, so it’s possible that the 3DS version would be based on that one.
Of course, this is not an official announcement just yet, but in most cases a game being rated by an age rating agency is indicative of an upcoming release. We will keep you updated.

MercurySteam says it’s been “an incredible honor” working with Nintendo on Metroid: Samus Returns
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 14 Comments
MercurySteam is partnering with Nintendo for the first time on Metroid: Samus Returns. Enric Alvarez, the head of MercurySteam, only had good things to say about the relationship, telling GameReactor that it’s “been an amazing experience and an incredible honor.”
Here are some select quotes from the interview.
“It has been an amazing experience and an incredible honor. We learned a lot from the best, Nintendo. These days, we often pinch ourselves just in case we are in a dream.”
“We have been working with the best. I think this explains pretty much everything about how things went during the development. We were very impressed about the devotion, the care and the quality Nintendo treats the product, and we learned a lot from that.”
“Long time fans are going to be extremely pleased. The game is the result of both, on one hand is a Nintendo game, a Metroid game, and on the other hand, I think people will see the MercurySteam influence.”
You can hear Alvarez speaking about Metroid: Samus Returns and MercurySteam working with Nintendo towards the end of the video below.
Dragon Quest XI: Details about Martina’s & Row’s skills and the town of Grotta
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Another week, another round of Dragon Quest XI news from Weekly Jump magazine. This time, we’ve got some new infos on party members Martina and Row and what they’re capable of in combat, as well as the town of Grotta. Credit goes to Gematsu for the translation.
Grotta is a flourishing town in the northern part of Lotozetasia, and where masked fighters participate in a “Masked Fighters Tournament.” There is arena here, as well as a statue of General Greig, who won the tournament once.
Martina is a beautiful fighter with an ambiguous elegance drifting about her. She doesn’t seem to be just an ordinary person. She seems to have the intention to travel the world.
Skills she can use include:
- “Sexy Beam” – A seductive skill in which Martina strikes a sexy pose and monsters fall in love with her beautiful face.
- “Miracle Moon” – A melee skill.
- “Witch Nail” – A claw claw skill.
- “Hell Spark” – A spear skill in which hell thunder strikes down on the enemy.
Row has the appearance of a traveler, but is a man shrouded in mystery who can use advanced magic and martial arts.
Spells that he can use include:
- “Kazam”
- “Kacrackle”
- “Kazing” – A spell that revives a fallen ally.
Skills that he can use include:
- “Baptism of Zero” – An enlightenment skill that eliminates good effects on the enemy.
- “Revival Staff” – A two-handed staff skill that revives an ally.
- “Liger Slash” – A claw skill in which Row hits the enemy with strong, continuous attacks—both spells and direct attacks.
