Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 9 Comments
During a Nintendo press event that is currently ongoing, several RPGs were showcased. One of these was Dragon Quest VII.
According to Nintendo, Dragon Quest VII is “basically a brand new game” on 3DS. It’ll feature entirely new writing for its western release. Additionally, random encounters have been removed, and you’ll see enemies on the map. A story summary feature and StreetPass feature that lets you gain tablets will also be included.
The same presenter also mentioned that Dragon Quest VIII will have a top-notch localization.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Circle Entertainment posted two concrete pieces of news on its Twitter account today. One concerns a title we haven’t heard before, while the other is about a release in one particular region.
Toy Defense is now confirmed to be coming to 3DS. It’s already done, and it’ll be launching soon. This is likely the tower defense game that hit mobile platforms several months ago.
Circle Entertainment also confirmed today that The Legend of Dark Witch 2 is approved in Europe, and should be available next month. It’s accompanied by several 3DS themes.
Also Toy Defense 3DS version, porting by Haruka production. Which already finished and we plan to release it very soon:)

Aperion Cyberstorm’s control options detailed, including golf grip setup
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Aperion Cyberstorm is going to support a whole bunch of controllers. The Wii Balance Board might be the only exception, which I don’t believe players will be displeased about!
Speaking with Nintendo Life, developer aPriori Digital went over the different control options included in Aperion Cyberstorm. One of these is simply using the Wii Remote for “something like a golf grip.”
Here’s the full explanation from aPriori:
Regarding controllers, we’ve tried to support every official option as far as possible — sorry, no balance board…
As we said last year, the game will support a Wii Remote without an attached Nunchuk. We figured there are a lot lying around or cheap to buy, so getting five players together should be simpler than other options. When we got down to it, we realised the logistics of mapping a twin stick shooter to that device.

Famitsu sheds light on Zelda: Twilight Princess HD’s amiibo features
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 152 Comments
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD appears to be in this week’s Famitsu once again. While last week’s article was only a recap of the game as a whole, the latest issue touches on some new features. Leaks stemming from Famitsu talk about amiibo functionality.
Using the Wolf Link amiibo at a certain place will allow you to play “Thorough Battle: Trial of the Beast” (perhaps this is the Twilight Cave we heard about last week). If you clear this while owning the “Giant Wallet”, you’ll earn the “Bottomless Wallet”. This lets you hold up to 9,999 Rupees, compared to Giant Wallet’s maximum of 1,000. The leak also mentions something about how Link’s health inside normal dungeons can be recovered by the amount of hearts you preserved in the exclusive dungeon (which I assume is this one).
