Capcom has yet another Virtual Console game lined up for the New 3DS Virtual Console in North America this week. Tomorrow, the SNES release Demon’s Crest will be on the eShop.
If you haven’t heard about Demon’s Crest previously, this brief overview will fill you in:
“Firebrand must set off to recover the six magical stones of the Demon Crest before the realms of humans and demons fall into the hands of his evil nemesis, Phalanx. Breathe fire, claw walls and hover across seven intense levels as you fight to save the realms from eternal unrest!”
You’ll be able to pick up Demon’s Crest for $7.99.
Metroid: Other M won’t be the only new “classic” game launching on the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow. Nintendo’s website is also listing Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for the Virtual Console.
The official overview is as follows:
“Prince Marth and his band of loyal followers are the last hope in freeing Archanea. Alternate turns with the enemy, and shape up your army to suit your strategy by selecting from dozens of units with unique spells, abilities, and weapons. Each unit has its own strategic benefits, so guide them wisely or risk losing them on the battlefield.”
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon will set you back $9.99.
Capcom uploaded the opening movie for Megami Meguri today. Per usual, we’ve attached the video for your viewing pleasure below.
Metroid: Other M is slated for the North American Wii U eShop tomorrow, Nintendo’s website reveals. It will be available as a Wii download.
The listing has the following overview:
“Join Samus for an action-packed space adventure that takes the best elements of 1st-person and 3rd-person gaming to create a seamless blend between gameplay, story-telling and cinematography. Players hold the Wii Remote controller sideways while navigating and battling in 3rd-person. However, at any moment, players can switch immediately to Wii Remote pointer controls to examine and explore the environments in 1st-person perspective.”
Pricing for Metroid: Other M is set at $19.99.
Famitsu has a massive feature on Monster Hunter XX this week. The magazine’s latest coverage spans ten pages.
First, we have some information about some of the monsters. Details are as follows:
– Deviant Diablos: changes color when in Rage state, and will also have new moves during that, like jumping, burrowing, and thrusting from the ground.
– Deviant Glavenus is Hellblade which also already appeared in Generations; has a sword-like tail that also has high heat
– Deviant Gammoth: has a hardened body after living in harsh environments for a very long time; said to be the cause of blizzards and avalanches in cold areas
– Deviant Mizutsune: can launch blue bubbles which seem to be more powerful than Mizutsune’s ordinary bubbles
– Deviant Astalos: normally shrouded in green electricity, but during battle that may change color to blue
– Congalala: can release gas that causes inflicted hunters to be unable to use some items; can also perform a breath attack that will change elements depending on the food it ate beforehand, such as becoming fire or poison
GameStop took pre-orders for the Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World amiibo bundle the day it was announced, but reservations ended very shortly after. Now, however, it’s back up again. You can place an order here. Along with a copy of the game, you’ll receive the new Poochy amiibo.
Update: The restock has now been confirmed for December 20 – see the updated email below.
Original: Best Buy is sending out emails to consumers about an impending NES Classic Edition restock. We know that it’s happening soon – it’s just a matter of when.
Unfortunately, Best Buy made some sort of error in its email. It first mentions “tomorrow” (December 8), followed by December 20 right after that. I’d say the latter is a more likely bet, but a restock tomorrow isn’t entirely out of the question.
We’ll let you know if Best Buy clarifies the situation at all.
