The Alliance Alive details – premise, worlds, and more
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
The Alliance Alive was initially revealed through Jump, but Famitsu provides an extensive follow-up report last week. Much of it has been covered already, but we do have some additional information, including tidbits from the developers which weren’t touched on a few days ago.
In The Alliance Alive, the premise is that a thousand years ago, the Demon Clan invaded the human world to control a chaotic energy that could endanger the demon world. The Demon Clan also set up a Giant Barrier here that disrupted weather and caused the sky to no longer be blue, as well as causing earthquakes and generating a Black Current on the sea that split the land into several zones, consuming many other cities and killing about half of the whole human population. A few hundred years later, each of these zones were put into their own administrations by the Demon Clan, having unique cultures as well as a caste system that puts the Demon Clan at the top.
Three of the many zones split by the Black Current are introduced in this first batch:

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Last week, Famitsu revealed Alien Syndrome and Columns as the latest additions in SEGA 3D Fukkoku Archives 3: Final Stage. We now have a few tidbits about what will be included as features.
First, here are a bunch of screenshots from both:
With Alien Syndrome, a new element is two-player co-op via local wireless. Interim Save, Interim Load, Replay, and Round Select are all included. With Round Select, you’re able to start from the last cleared round, though it isn’t available in local play.
Alien Syndrome lets players choose from five difficulty levels. With the lowest one, enemies will not shoot bullets and have reduced health. There’s also a Time Limit feature in which you’re able to choose from six levels, two of which were not available in the original version.
Alien Syndrome includes both the Japanese and international versions. Differences are as follows:

Rumor: Nintendo says Switch is a home console successor, 3DS successor coming in the future
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Switch, Wii U | 206 Comments
A Japanese tweet has been making the rounds over the past few hours about what one person tied to the investor-side of Nintendo relayed from the company. Apparently, Switch is intended to be a home console successor (Wii U). Nintendo’s home and handheld systems are still separate, with a 3DS successor coming at some point in the future.
I can’t personally verify the source, so it’s slightly dubious for now (and hence the rumor part). That being said, Nintendo has sort of talked about how Switch is intended to be the company’s next console. Plans could also change in the future depending on how Switch plans out.
Thanks to Justin A for the tip.
