Marvelous opened up the website for Story Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages today. The site offers an overview of the game’s systems and also provides a look at two new characters from Tsuyukusa Village – Kasumi, a marriage candidate for the male main character and Yuzuki, a marriage candidate for the female main character. The folks over at Gematsu translated some info about these new characters.
Kasumi is a teacher in a private outside of Tsuyukusa Village. She’s a quiet girl who rarely talks to men her age, but she loves riding horses.
Yuzuki is a gentle but frail young man who makes metallic ornaments for a living. He likes sweet foods and can usually be found at his workplace.
The website also features several new gameplay clips. The first one shows off the creation of a female main character:
Head past the break for several more clips!

[Review] Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale
Posted on 8 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, Features, Reviews | 5 Comments
System: 3DS
Release date: March 1, 2016
Developer: Epics
Publisher XSEED Games
If there was an award for the most unlikely RPG revival of 2016, it’d have to go to Return to PopoloCrois. This series started out as a comic but became a cult classic game series in Japan thanks to a string of games on the original PlayStation. Now it returns for modern audiences, but Return to PopoloCrois is very much a return to the early days of 32-bit RPGs. It also brings in elements from the franchise formerly known as Harvest Moon, mixing the farming with a more traditional RPG experience. The two titles have a similarly peaceful pastoral setting (and apparently a large female fanbase in Japan) so it initially seems like a good mix, but unfortunately the gameplay side of things is a bit lacking.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Screenshots | 0 comments
Capcom released a batch of new screenshots from Ace Attorney 6 today. Find them in the gallery below.
Ace Attorney 6 is comprised of two parts, as we already know: investigation and trial. Players collect evidence during the investigation sections and present them against prosecutors and witnesses during trials. The game flow is the same for Phoenix and Apollo.
There are four options during investigations. You can talk to people, examine scenes, present evidence to people, and move to another location. During trials, you press witness testimony and present evidence to object to a statement during cross-examination, similar to past entries.

Destructoid has a few photos up of the Mega Man Legacy Collection Collector’s Edition. Check them out in the gallery below.
As far as the gold Mega Man amiibo is concerned, it does come in a separate case. However, it’s completely generic and lacks a proper label. It’s also not possible to use Mega Man without taking it out of the box, for those that are curious.
Six postcards of art from each game are also included in the Mega Man Legacy Collection Collector’s Edition. That’s on top of sticks, a card to download 18 tracks from the soundtrack, and two 3DS themes inside the game box.
