Arc System Works is debuting its new 3DS eShop game, Swords & Darkness, at the Tokyo Game Show. The action RPG involves knights attempting to save the kingdom of Athelstern.

Swords & Darkness features 2D side-scrolling gameplay. You’ll be able to perform a directional block with your shield, and extra chain damage can be dished out to enemies by moving above downed foes and performing downward slashes. As far as the RPG elements go, players can level up, swap out equipment and magic, and learn special moves.

It wasn’t mentioned in yesterday’s Nintendo Download report, but Cut the Rope is now available on the 3DS eShop. The game can be purchased for $9.99. Seems rather pricey given how much it costs on iOS, but the price may be worth it for some!



We’ll keep you posted. Hopefully they can share more on it soon!


Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call doesn’t just allow for touchscreen-based controls. Players will have a second option at their disposal: physical controls.

All of Curtain Call’s menus and game modes are playable with buttons. When going through a song in Battle Music Stages and Event Music Stages, you’ll use the A or B buttons. In Field Music Stages, the Circle Pad must be moved slightly up and down to match what’s appearing on screen. The d-pad is required when directional cues appear.

The Inner World hasn’t been confirmed for Wii U, but a representative from Headup Games has said that the title “would be a great fit” on the system.

BeefJack was told the following when asked whether The Inner World could head to the Wii U in the future:

“You’re right, Inner World would be a great fit for Nintendo’s Wii U, it even would look good in a boxed version there.”

“We are evaluating further platforms at the moment and then [we’ll] decide whether to port The Inner World to a console or not.”

Headup is currently busy finishing up the iOS version of The Inner World. Until that’s done, the team can’t truly begin to consider other versions.

Media Create data indicates that Monster Hunter 4 sold 1,715,060 copies in its first week at Japanese retail. The game’s success cannot be overstated, especially with a sell-through rate of 91.96%.

Yet even with Media Create’s data, it doesn’t tell the full story. Monster Hunter 4 has experienced the best debut in series history.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd was the previous record holder with 1.951 million copies sold in five days. But if you take into account the game’s retail sales, 155,000 copies sold through download cards, and another 100,000 units sold directly on the eShop, that brings Monster Hunter 4’s total sales to around 1.97 million. It’s even more impressive considering this figure accounts for just two days of sales.
