This week’s issue of Famitsu has a big update on Rodea: The Sky Soldier. The magazine introduces the “R series” of humanoid robots, new characters, and more.

R Series

One portion of Famitsu’s article reveals information about the “R series”. This is a series of humanoid robots with the power of flight.

The emperor of Naga empire, Giado, launched the “R project” to produce robots to use as a spearhead in invading other countries. Rodea has lost the memory of that event, and is now protecting the people of Garuda by confronting his former allies. Rodea was a prototype, so the other members of the R series are more powerful.

Speaking of Giado, Famitsu has a couple of tidbits about the character. He was formerly a good father of Cecilia. That all changes, and he has since enhanced his body with machine parts.

Below is the full rundown of the R series:

For those who aren’t aware, I’m not what you’d consider an action fan. While most people love to sit back and cause explosions and mayhem, I’ll typically be found cutting grass in the fields of Hyrule and unleashing my Wii Fit Trainer fury in Smash Bros. The last game I thought I would find myself enjoying was an aerial combat simulator, but with Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy+, I loved flying through the skies with my highly fashionable Princess Peach-skinned jet and saving the world. However, this title holds one fatal flaw that made every neat looking explosion feel not quite as awesome in the long run.

The latest edition of Famitsu DS+Wii has started to make its way out to readers in Japan, and there’s a noteworthy inclusion in the magazine. Towards the end, there is a tease regarding a big announcement about a major upcoming title for Nintendo systems. Sadly, there isn’t much said about this, but we’ll be hearing about it in the next issue of Famitsu DS+Wii.

Some Japanese news websites have speculated that the announcement could be related to Dragon Quest news teased by V-Jump. In a blog post on Dragon Quest X, V-Jump mentioned upcoming news on the series, saying that something concrete would be announced soon. Given that Dragon Quest X is available for the Wii U and 3DS, perhaps the announcement is for an expansion or new game in the series. Others have speculated that the news is related to Level-5’s Vision 2015 event early next month, which promises a look at upcoming titles like Yo-Kai Watch 3 and Fantasy Life 2.

Whether or not these rumors are related remains to be seen, and we’ll likely have to keep on speculating on any future announcements until next month’s Famitsu DS+Wii goes on sale.

The National Art Center in Tokyo is currently selling a packaged version of Nintendo 3DS Guide: Louvre. Through June 1, attendees can pick up a copy for 3,900 yen.

There’s nothing too special about this given that it’s an exact copy as the download version. That being said, it’s interested that the packaged version is being sold outside of the Louvre Museum.

A couple of new character profiles are in for Langrisser Re:Incarnation Tensei. Today we learn about Maya as well as Ansel. For their full bios, read on below.

Maya (voiced by Yumi Uchiyama)

Maya is a maid with the Rovina family who waits on Ares hand over foot. Her lordly demeanor, coupled with her knowledge and insight into world affairs proves to be usedful as she goes about educating Ares. She also seems knowledgeable about magic and the military, although the source of that remains entirely unknown. Her past is utterly shrouded in mystery.

Ansel (voiced by Junji Majima)

Ansel is the son of a carpenter from a former Bright territory with close ties to the Imperial Army. He lives an easygoing life, but once the war starts, he joins up with a band of vigilantes. Though he’s memorized military tactics, he doesn’t understand their deeper meaning and nuances. Around women, he’s often a slovenly human being, but nevertheless hates making mistakes.
