JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R update 2.1.0

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is set to receive a new version 2.1.0 update, and we have the patch notes. It will be going out alongside the new Leone Abbacchio DLC.

Many balance adjustments are included here. Various characters will have changes implemented and more.

Here’s the full rundown:

Luna-3X

We finally have an update on Luna-3X, which was previously known as LUNAXXX.

The title, which is being led by Pygmy Studio, was one of the first games we heard about for the console as it was announced in May 2017. We later learned that original Chibi-Robo director Kenichi Nishi is involved. Years have gone by without any news.

Hamster added Bosconian to its Arcade Archives this week on Switch, and we have a new round of gameplay. The classic Namco title was shown off during one of the company’s regular live streams.

Star Ocean The Second Story R graphics not HD 2D

When Star Ocean: The Second Story R was revealed, some may have thought that the game is using an HD-2D art style like Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy. But while the two are similar in some ways, they’re actually different.

Producer and director Yuichiro Kitao clarified things in a recent interview with Famitsu. Kitao explained that the backgrounds “were made with real time 3D, and the characters were drawn with a special shader in a way that really sticks in the player’s memory.”

Lets Talk Xenoblade future

One of the news topics circulating this week is Xenoblade Chronicles series director Tetsuya Takahashi saying that if there’s another entry in the franchise, it would probably be pretty different. In a way that seems like something obvious to mention, but it’s also an interesting point of discussion.

There are many similarities across the Xenoblade games, but plenty of differences as well. Perhaps the most unique of the bunch was Xenoblade Chronicles X, which put a focus more on quests and less of a story plus rideable mechs. For the most part though, the series has been about exploring big worlds, getting wrapped up in the world and story (unless you want to discount X), appreciating the music, and taking on enemies in the real-time action-based battle system.

Having said that, where should Xenoblade go from here? What would you like to see in a theoretical new game? Let us know in the comments.

Marble It Up! Ultra gameplay

Marble It Up! Ultra has received new gameplay showing the first three chapters. Following the original title’s launch in 2018, this new entry recently dropped on Switch.
