Lucky Mountain Games has been plugging away at Racing Apex, a project that takes inspiration from early 3D polygon arcade titles. This new indie game features a variety of racers, modes, tracks, and items along with the ability to upgrade and repair your car.

There’s now great news for Wii U owners, as Lucky Mountain Games has confirmed plans for an eShop release. It’s due out on PC soon, so hopefully the Wii U version won’t be too far behind.

You can watch a couple of videos showing Racing Apex below. There’s also a lot of information on the official site here.

Monster Hunter Stories got a big update in last week’s Famitsu. The magazine provided us with a first look at three new amiibo, plus new details on aspects like characters and areas. Famitsu also has a few details on another system in the RPG.

As previously mentioned, Monster Hunter Stories includes the Transmission Ritual. By using this, players can cross-breed two monsters to awaken a monster’s stats.

First of all, pick the Otomon you’d like to have inherit bond DNA. Up to nine bond DNA slots are available and are show at the bottom right.

After debuting in Japan last October, 7th Dragon III Code: VFD headed to North America earlier this week. Take a look at a bunch of gameplay below.

Cragworks will soon be bringing its indie title BLOC to the Wii U eShop. Take a look at the launch trailer below.

The Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Special Edition contains several goodies. Probably the neatest of the bunch is an art book. Towards the end, you’ll find messages from three of the project’s most important developers: chief director/game designer Wataru Hirata, director Eiji Ishida, and producer Shinjiro Takata.

After going through the book, I thought it’d be worthwhile to share those messages here since each one is quite interesting (and lengthy!). Hirata’s note hits close to home in particular, as he thanks late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata – who passed away just a little over a year ago.

Head past the break for transcripts of Hirata, Ishida, and Takata’s messages.
