Famitsu has a follow up on Animal Crossing: Jump Out this week. The latest information covers town guidelines and other random tidbits.

New details are as follows:

– There is a Reset Monitoring Center in the game
– Mr. Resetti yells at you when you reset the game
– Determine your own laws and what you want the town to be like
– Laws will be setup only once
– You can make it so that your town is where flowers grow easily, a morning-type town, a rich town, and so on
– You can have a town that doesn’t sleep, which extends the amount of hours a store stays open
– Pay Sahara 3000 Bells and she’ll help you out with wallpaper and carpet decorations
– Use QR codes to bring in items made in My Design PRO


Konami made two Magician’s Quest games for the DS. These titles featured a visual style comparable to that of Animal Crossing, and offered communication, life simulation, and fantasy elements.

The first entry was localized for North America and Europe. As far as I’m aware, the second one stayed in Japan.

Konami will soon have another opportunity to bring the series back to the west. According to this week’s Famitsu, Magician’s Quest is heading to the 3DS. Actual details haven’t been leaked from the magazine, but it doesn’t look like a release date is included in the issue.


Remember Famitsu’s Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney puzzle from last week’s issue? As it turns out, the original release date speculation based on the ad was spot on.

Famitsu confirms this week that Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney will be available in Japan on November 29. Pricing information has not made it out of the magazine.

In some ways, Ninja Gaiden III: Razor’s Edge is like a completely new game. While the Wii U version uses the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release as its base, Team Ninja is making a number of additions and changes to the core formula.

Razor’s Edge features tougher AI, dismemberment, an upgrade system, and more. Players can accumulate currency by pulling off combos, and can then use the cash to purchase moves, sword upgrades, and magic spells. You’ll be able to view some of the more complex combos right on the Wii U GamePad for further assistance.

According to the latest Game Informer, Team Ninja will also be including Ayane as a playable character. She’ll have her own “narrative-expanding missions”, complete with a new move set.


Thursday really will be a global affair for Wii U. A conference will be held in New York City to announce launch information for the console, and while that’s happening, a Nintendo Direct will be shown for Europe.

Australia is getting in on the fun, too. A unique presentation will be streamed at 24:00 (midnight) AEST. You can keep track of the Australian Nintendo Direct page here.

Are you ready for the onslaught of Wii U news?


Mythical Pokémon to be Available for a Limited Time Only

11th September 2012 – The release of the Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 games for Nintendo DS is quickly approaching, and Nintendo is giving fans yet another reason to be excited for their 12th October 2012 launch across the UK. Consumers who purchase either game will have the opportunity to receive the Mythical Pokémon Genesect via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for the first time ever through a free distribution for a limited time after launch. In Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, players will return to the Unova region and embark on a new adventure set two years after the events of the Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version games.

Genesect, the newly discovered Mythical Pokémon, has been restored from a 300 million year old fossil. Modified by Team Plasma, this Pokémon has a fearsome signature move called Techno Blast. Genesect is the only known Pokémon with this move. Genesect is a Bug and Steel-Type Pokémon with the ability to adjust its power levels based on the foe it’s battling. This powerful Pokémon will be available from 12th October 2012 through to 12th November 2012.
