Lucadian Chronicles has been updated to version 1.2. Developer Dark Roast has addressed several bugs, and has added a number of details.

Read on below for the full patch notes.

Client Version 1.02

Bug Fixes

• More general stability changes.
• Fixed issue where taking screenshot via built-in Miiverse button could result in dark, washed-out image.
• Fixed clicking through resources quickly making them not register in UI.
• Fixed some sound skipping / stuttering issues.
• Fixed music cutting out in some cases involved poison counters.
• Added more messaging to 4-player draft to make it more clear what is happening in the case where you are waiting for other players to finish.
• Fixed “winner” text in draft sometimes appearing next to person who lost.
• Fixed issue with daily challenge timer.

Features

• Battle animations – melee units now ram into other units, and ranged units fire projectiles. We did this to make battle look better and also add clarity – it should now be a little more obvious that heroes attack enemies closest to opposite of them.
• League matching changes – leagues now work a bit differently in a few ways. You will no longer be matched up with people outside of your league, or not battle someone in your league. Now leagues don’t start until enough people join or a certain amount of time passes – after that each person in a league battles each other person twice. We will keep an eye on leagues and adjust the timing, minimum number of entrants, etc, if needed.
• League tiers – players who do well in bronze leagues can now be promoted to silver leagues. Silver leagues will have tougher competition but also higher rewards.
• You can now hold down the B button during evolution animation to speed it up.
• We’ve added the ability to schedule special drafts with better rewards. We want to do our best to ensure that people can find players to play against, so we’ll look to use these drafts to schedule times that people can congregate around.

Thanks to Cameron for the tip.

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:

System: Nintendo 3DS
Release: February 10, 2015
Developer: Access Games
Publisher: Bandai Namco

Author: Vincent W.

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.

Cell9 has come up with new custom firmware for Japanese New 3DS systems that makes region-free gaming possible.

“NTR CFW 2.0” has one purpose: to enable titles from around the world to be playable on the system. Piracy is not possible in any way, and only retail cartridges are acceptable.

The one downside is that you won’t be able to boot up the Japanese eShop. However, you can access a custom menu to take in-game screens and use plug-ins.

Gamers will need a Japanese New 3DS and an import copy of Cubic Ninja in order to use NTR CFW 2.0. Keep in mind that it only works with 3DS firmware versions 8.1.0/9.1.0/9.2.0.

As for what lies ahead in the future, Cell9 hopes to support the original 3DS and other regions at some point.
