Late last month, Nicalis announced that it had cancelled Yatagarasu for the 3DS in favor of a PS Vita version. That news wasn’t exactly well-received by Nintendo fans.
Some questioned Nicalis’ decision on Twitter, but the studio promised that more games are on the way to the 3DS as well as Wii U. The company also said that it “always” intends to support Nintendo systems. In one particular tweet, Nicalis appeared to tease two more 3DS titles in the form of asterisks.

A-Train 3D, the latest entry in the long-running series, is hitting Japan on December 12. Pricing is set at 6,090 yen.
As usual, Artdink is in charge of development. A-Train 3D follows the acclaimed DS game “A-Train DS”, where the title has undergone various upgrades. New details include the cityscape being able to change over time, and there is also the possibility of Bullet Train being applied.
You can find the first screenshots above.
Pokemon X/Y’s Super Training was given a fresh look during today’s Pokemon Smash episode in Japan.
In the mini-game, players use the touchscreen to fire balls into different parts of Magneton. They will, at the same time, need to avoid large balls as their Pokemon sits on a platform.
You’ll be able to see a numerical value added to the stat once the game has completed. Pokemon Smash’s example showed a +8 on Special Attack. The specifics of the number are currently a mystery.
As previously mentioned, Pokemon Smash will have another feature on Pokemon X/Y next week. A teaser showed Mewtwo Mega Evolving and promised a shocking revelation about Mega Evolution in general.
Capcom will release three Thunder-themed weapons for Monster Hunter 4 in March of next year as part of a collaboration with Dengeki magazine. The set will include the new Thunder Works hammer, returning classics Gunlance Voltiac Works, and Hunting Flute Blitz Works.
All of these weapons will be found in a quest titled, “To become Electric Blitz Hunters”. How does that tie into Dengeki? As it turns out, the publication’s name translates to Electric Blitz.
