Last month, Arc System Works announced the acquisition of the Double Dragon, Super Dodge Ball, River City Ransom, and Kunio-kun franchises. This week’s issue of Famitsu asks president Minoru Kidooka about what’s next for these former Technos IPs.

Kidooka told the magazine:

“Firstly, we’d like to develop 3DS titles like we’ve been doing up until now. Personally, I’d like to see titles such as Kunio-kun and Double Dragon be revived as arcade games again.”

“This is something we’re aiming for the next fiscal year, but I’d like to get the fighting part of Downtown Hot-Blooded March: Let’s Go to the Great Sports Meet and make it into a game, and turn it into something that can be played competitively with four players at the arcades.”

Arc System Works most recently developed Downtown Special: Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki da yo Zenin Shugo. That game launched in Japan on May 28.

A new feature was announced for the upcoming 3DS version of Dragon Quest VIII today – Camera Mode, which allows you to take a picture of the top screen, which is then saved to your 3DS’ SD card. However, this feature is not just for taking screenshots – you can get special requests from NPCs who ask you to take pictures of rare monsters and hidden items and who will reward you for doing so. When taking pictures of your party members, you can also have them take special poses.
