Tecmo Koei has prepared a number of new manga costumes for Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2. Bat, Kaioh, Hyou, Shachi, Falco, Ein, and Rin have all received new outfits. All content will be free to Wii U owners who purchase the title before February 28. The game releases in Japan on January 31.
Famitsu’s teasers have generally turned out to be disappointing as of late. This latest one is a real doozy, though.
At the end of the current magazine, Famitsu promises two big scoops for next week’s issue. The first is some sort of “huge Capcom project”. The second, slightly less clear, is a long-awaited game that has been kept quiet. Next week, “information on that title becomes clear at last.”
Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission is incorporating a new feature. The arcade-to-3DS title will contain a scouter that allows players to determine their power levels. Look into the 3DS camera, and the game will then take a picture of your face.
There’s more to the scouter than just a power level indicator. By scanning people, users may receive Zeni and items. Great Ape Vegeta may also appear if you scan a high enough level, and you’ll be able to fight him with friends.
The latest GameStop deals are as follows:
Fantasy Life won’t just be a standalone release. In this week’s Famitsu, Level-5 confirmed it has plans to turn the IP into a franchise.
When asked about its plans for the year ahead, Level-5 said the company intends for Fantasy Life to be the first game in a larger series.
The news shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Fantasy Life is already experiencing sell-outs in Japan and has been quite popular.

In December, a group of robbers collected 7,000 Wii U consoles from a warehouse in Seattle and then drove off in trucks. Police have since located “two trailers and a box truck”, but no Wii U systems.
The chances of finding the stolen stock aren’t too high at the moment. Still, there is some hope, and SeaTac detectives are working with the Los Angeles based “Cargo Theft Task Force”. Police have also raised the reward to $10,000 – which admittedly pales in comparison to the $2 million worth of Wii U systems stolen.
City Connection will be hitting the Japanese eShop as a Famicom download on January 16 for 500 yen. Screenshots of the game can be found above.
