Enemy in turns in Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. can take awhile, and this has been a gripe that some folks have had with the game. You can speed up those turns just slightly by holding down the select button. It won’t make a massive difference, but it’s better than nothing!

Atlus details SpotPass and StreetPass support in Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment

Atlus has shared a bunch of information regarding SpotPass and StreetPass support in Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker. All of the details are posted below, and you can find a new round of screenshots above.

Demon summoners in Devil Survivor 2 will have some wireless advantages once the game launches. Thanks to the Nintendo 3DS system’s SpotPass and StreetPass features, players will be able to unlock and advance their demons in new ways!
SpotPass
We’ll have several waves of SpotPass content rolling out once the game launches (schedule still TBD), but the immediate advantage will be a whole ton of new demons for players to fuse. So if you were looking for your precious Tyrant Lucifer Frost or Wilder Catoblepas, they’ll be rolling out to players via SpotPass. Another bonus going out via SpotPass will be some skill add-ons. One of the hallmarks of the Devil Summoner series is cracking skills that are assigned from a communal skill pool, meaning players can’t use the same skill on more than one character. Via SpotPass, players will be able to get a helpful magic skill, a powerful normal skill, and a recommended physical skill added to their skill pool. But that’s all we’re telling you about them!

Theatrhythm Dragon Quest lacks 3D support

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment

Theatrhythm Dragon Quest’s demo is out now in Japan, and we’ve been hearing that it doesn’t support stereoscopic 3D. This will apply to the final game as well, according to Nintendo’s website.

This is the first Theatrhythm to not make use of 3D. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call both had support for the feature.
