Two games are slated for the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow from Culture Brain. The company will be bringing out Baseball Simulator 1000 as well as Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll.
Here’s an overview of the first one:
Play a full-length season with six teams for a defined number of games in a race for the pennant. You can also autosimulate the game and edit your team’s players. And if you’re tired of the traditional baseball dynamics, you can use Ultra Plays to make your pitches disappear or to make your hits explode or knock down opposing fielders!
And Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll:
Set off on a journey to complete the mystical Mandara Seal and activate its magical powers. Face tough challengers, and use six different types of fighting techniques to your advantage. Work your way to the World Tournament, and defend the world from the legions of darkness!
Baseball Simulator 1000 and Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll will cost $4.99 each.
Nintendo Hall has posted a few minutes of footage from the new Wii U eShop game Bit Dungeon. Watch the gameplay below.
A lot of the interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto coming out of E3 this year were very game specific – in particular focusing on Zelda: Breath of the Wild. That makes sense given how big of a title it is for the company, but Kotaku went in a bit of a different direction with its discussion.
While speaking with Miyamoto, the site wanted to find out how Nintendo makes games – what goes into making them special, what makes them unique, what their core is. Miyamoto also went in-depth with Bill Trinen on controls, and also talked about topics like sound effects and advice for younger developers. Of course, some talk about Zelda: Breath of the Wild was sprinkled in as well.
Head past the break for some interview excerpts. You can find the full talk here.
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse will launch in North America on September 20, Atlus has announced.
Aside from that, a new trailer shown today introduces the game’s cast. Players will encounter the following characters:
- Nanashi – Nanashi is the silent player controlled protagonist who’s trying to become a full fledged member of the Hunter Association. He gets murdered early in the game by a demon, but is given a second chance at life by the god Dagda. In return, he must serve as Dagda’s personal “Godslayer” in the world changing events to come…
- Asahi – The ever optimistic Asahi is Nanashi’s childhood friend/Hunter Association teammate. She’s eager to prove herself in the field, but will need to overcome her doubts in order to become a key member of the group.
- Navarre – This familiar Samurai from the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado is making a return! Well sort of, because Navarre is no longer what we would call “alive.” He’s now a green ghost who can use his ethereal powers to the benefit of the team.
- Nozomi – Nozomi is another familiar character who is the newly appointed Fairy Queen working under the protection of the goddess Danu. She’s a level-headed and mature ally who will provide valuable skills and insight for the party.
- Hallelujah– This young gray haired individual is a member of the Ashura-kai gang, who is ordered to join Nanashi and co. in their journey to “watch” them. Hallelujah is accompanied by his foxlike pet demon Chironnupu, who will support him in battle.
- Gaston – Gaston, or as he likes to call himself Gaston the Magnificent, is the brash and arrogant younger brother of Navarre. He is the leader of an elite squad of Samurai called the Crusaders and will undoubtedly be a useful partner during fights. That is, if players can stand his braggadocios nature, but you know what they say, “no one fights like Gaston!”
- Toki – This mysterious Oni mask wearing girl in black is an assassin for the Ring of Gaea faction. She absolutely does not have an ulterior motive for joining the squad. Nope, totally doesn’t have a hidden agenda or anything like that.
- Isabeau – This steadfast Samurai is the best friend and confidant of the heroic Flynn (the protagonist of Shin Megami Tensei IV). Isabeau is an experienced warrior who will act as a great role model for the younger members of the party.
