Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 is featured in this week’s issue of Jump. The magazine introduces some information about color customization as well as more character details.

In Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3, you can change the colors of both the player character and monsters. For the former, you can choose the color for hair, scarf, trousers, gloves and boots. For monsters, you can fuse them with a “Color Fondue” to make their color change from the original.

“Dark Master” is mentioned in the magazine. This is an evil monster master who stands against the player. We also see a mysterious young girl who invites you to start your adventure, the King of Nochora tribe who supports you in many ways, and a caring old woman who is rather bad-mouthed, but likes taking care of people. These characters seem to know about the player’s memories before they were lost due to amnesia.

Nintendo has released a few new screenshots from Bravely Second. You can find them in the gallery below.

Capcom have just published a new trailer for their upcoming Monster Hunter spin-off game, Monster Hunter Stories. Check it out below:

Nintendo of Europe just published some new info about Bravely Second: End Layer, the sequel to the acclaimed 3DS RPG Bravely Default: Where the Fairy Flies, which will be released in Europe on February 26th.

Most importantly, perhaps, is the fact that a demo for the game will be released on February 11th. Just like in Bravely Default, save data from the demo can be transferred over to the full game in order to unlock in-game bonuses.

Story-wise, the game will feature characters from the first game such as Magnolia, Edea and Tiz, but will also include several new playable characters. Among those are the “Three Cavaliers” – Yew Geneolgia, Janne Angard, and Nikolai Nikolanikov, who set out to rescue the kidnapped Agnès Oblige at the start of the game.

In terms of gameplay, the previous game’s Brave and Default system will also be available in Bravely Second. Be reckless and gain additional turns in combat now with Brave, or save them up for later with Default – the choice is yours. A new feature in Bravely Second lets you chain together multiple battles after winning one in a single turn – you can gain more experience and better rewards that way, but dying means you lose all your accumulated rewards.

As in Bravely Default, you have multiple Jobs at your disposal. These are basically your character’s classes, and you can freely assign any of them. Some return from Bravely Default and some are brand new, such as the baked goods-using Patissier or the feline-affine Catmancer.

 

Perhaps not the biggest or most surprising news from today, but I thought it was interesting how Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam comes in a red case for its North American version. As far as I’m aware, it’s standard white packaging in other territories. We’ve seen the red casing with a few games in the past, such as with Mario Kart 8. The re-releases of Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, and New Super Mario Bros. 2 also had the red packaging.

Later this month, Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy Explorers in the west. Take a look at an unboxing video of the collector’s edition below.

Nintendo recently brought out some new 3DS themes in Japan based on Animal Crossing and Pokemon. In the video below, you can get another look at them all.

Famitsu published the first screenshots from Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages. We’ve rounded them up below.
