Nintendo of Europe has produced a “3DS eShop Heros” trailer highlight some of its games on the digital store. Take a look below:
Players experiencing Dragon Quest X should be aware of one very important tidbit. Square Enix’s FAQ section for the game says that users may lose their character data if they do not log in for online play for over three months.
When you think about it, this decision does make sense. It would be a bit pointless keeping that sort of data on the servers if it isn’t being accessed. By removing the character information for active players, it may help the servers’ workload.
Darksiders II has a “Crucible” mode which provides players with arena challenges. This can be unlocked after “Death has been deemed worthy”.
More details along with footage can be seen in the video above.
Marvelous is going all-out for Senran Kagura’s re-release, which will be included on Senran Kagura Burst’s cart.
We previously heard that the updated game would feature visual and gameplay modifications along with 3D visuals for locker room sections. Marvelous has since detailed the specifics concerning these changes:
– Parameters for characters and bosses have been fine tuned
– New techniques such as mid-air ninja arts
– Revised enemy patterns (especially mission 2-11)
– Attack frame animations were modified
– More voice acting
– Background music and facial expressions for certain event scenes have been adjusted
– Added costumes from Kagura Burst
– Can skip the story the second time you go through the game
Senran Kagura Burst hits Japan on August 30.
A new downloadable reward is available on Club Nintendo.
Bonsai Barber has been swapped out for Fluidity. The game is available for 150 coins.
You can order Fluidity here. It’s available as a WiiWare download until August 19.
