3DS

Back when the first Yo-kai Watch was nearing its launch in Japan, Level-5 released a demo on the Japanese 3DS eShop. It now looks like there are similar plans for the west.

Yesterday, a rating popped up on the Australian classification site for a Yo-kai Watch demo. Nintendo hasn’t said anything about this yet, but I suppose we’ll be hearing something soon!

A few hours ago, Atlus held another live stream for The Legend of Legacy. Head past the break for the Twitch recording.

Those of you with North American 3DS systems can now pre-load The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes from the 3DS eShop. By purchasing the game now, you can download most of the data ahead of time. You’ll only need a small update when Tri Force Heroes comes out to begin playing.

I did want to point out a small other tidbit as well. The eShop listing says that the Circle Pad Pro is a supported feature, so there’s a handy piece of information for you!

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes launches later this month. The game is scheduled for release on October 23.

Thanks to Jeffery F for the tip.

At first glance, The Legend of Legacy seems to be an amalgam of things – and it is. Legends are brought together to bring you this title in the form of Final Fantasy XIII composer Masashi Hamauzu, Chrono Trigger writer Masato Kato, SaGa illustrators and designers Tomomi Kobayashi and Kyoji Koizumi, with the inclusion of many other former developers from Square and Level-5. You can feel the influence and inspiration of The Legend of Legacy exude from all of these creators, allowing the game to thrive and revel in it artistically.

Next Saturday, select GameStop locations will be holding a special event for The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes. This will be taking place between 1 PM and 4 PM local time.

Attendees will be able to go hands-on with the new 3DS game. Additionally, there will be giveaways while supplies last.

The full list of eligible GameStop locations can be found here.

Atlus has been saying for awhile now that some improvements were made for the western release for The Legend of Legacy. We’re less than a week away from the game’s arrival in North America, and we finally have information on this front.

Most of the adjustments pertain to New Game+. Here’s the news straight from Atlus’ John Hardin:

  • In NG+, all the money and formations you designed now carry over. Any special weapons you created will also be available to purchase in the shop.
  • Drop rates for items and materials was increased across the board. Drop rate for rare items goes up in subsequent NG+. FICTITIOUS EXAMPLE TO ILLUSTRATE THIS POINT: The made-up drop rates for a rare item could be in the first 1st Game – 1%, in NG+ 5%, NG++ 8%, NG+++ 10% etc. Let me stress that these numbers are made up and I have no idea what they are for actual items.
  • Finally, the time it takes the trade ship to return is decreased substantially. The ship uses real-world time, and we’ve decreased the amount of time it takes to return.

We’ll have a review up for The Legend of Legacy later today!
