It was announced earlier in the year that Phoenix Wright is getting his own figma. Today, it received a release window, and we also have a proper look at the design.
You’ll be able to get your hands on the Phoenix Wright figma in May. Pre-orders are now open at Play-Asia, AmiAmi, and Good Smile. Pricing is set at around $65.
Here’s a closer look at the Phoenix Wright figma:
Nintendo opened the Momotaro Dentetsu 2017: Tachiagare Nippon!! website earlier today, which contains a few details about what to expect from the new 3DS game. Here’s a rundown courtesy of Gematsu’s translation:
– In order to become the greatest big company president in Japan, you’ll save up money through a variety of means as you approach “closing”
– If you’re the first to reach your destination, you’ll receive financial assistance
– Purchase shops/facilities to acquire their earnings at closing
– Every year at the end of March, the sum total of the money in your possession and owned property, as well as your earnings, will be announced
– At the closing of the final fiscal year, the player with the greatest sum total will be the winner
– 130 types of cards with different effects
– Need to be skillful in using cards to become a Momotetsu millionaire
– The god of poverty possesses the player farthest from the destination and makes them poorer by various means
– Pass him off to another player as fast as you can
– A famous monster may appear and a historical hero may come to save you
– Many unexpected events will occur that change the state of battle
– You can use one copy of the game in the 4-player “Momotetsu Three-Year Decisive Battle”
– A battle-exclusive application will be distributed for free via the eShop
On another interesting note, Devil’s Third developer Valhalla Game Studios is working on the game, according to the official website.
Laura Kate Dale is back with another brief report about Switch on LetsPlayVideoGames.
Speaking with a source with Nintendo who has provided accurate information in the past, the Dock will be included with all packages for Switch in every region. Nintendo is said to focusing on the system’s hybrid nature as part of its marketing efforts. Including the Dock is the company’s way of ensuring that there won’t be brand confusion.
Apparently, Nintendo considered selling the handheld unit as a standalone product, but ultimately decided against doing so. There were some concerns that consumers who purchased the portable device without the Dock may still think they could connect it to a television. Also unsurprisingly, Nintendo has no plans for the Switch handheld to be able to connect to a TV without the Dock.

Halloween is around the corner ladies and gentlemen, and as far as I’m concerned, there’s no better way (or game) to get you in the spirit of all things creepy and dead than Corpse Party. A series that I love dearly is finally making its way over to 3DS for the western audience to enjoy, and it brings along extra chapters not before seen in any of the previous ports and iterations.
The Nintendo UK store is carrying a new round of stock for the Pokemon GO Plus accessory. Get it here. Quantities are “limited”, so we’ll have to see how long this lasts!
It’s a big day for Minecraft: Wii U Edition, as the game is being updated with a bunch of new content. You’ll be able to get your hands on the following:
– Halloween Battle Map DLC
– Campfire Tales Skin Pack
– Battle Map Pack 4 DLC
– Spooky Bundle, containing the Halloween Mash-up Pack, Campfire Tales Skin Pack and Halloween Battle Map
Minecraft: Wii U Edition is also getting patch 14. Head past the break for the full patch notes.
All of Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s online services will undergo maintenance early next week. Here are the exact times:
- 6 PM PT (October 31st) – 8 PM PT (October 31st)
- 9 PM ET (October 31st) – 11 PM ET (October 31st)
- 2 AM in the UK (November 1st) – 4 AM in the UK (November 1st)
- 3 AM in Europe (November 1st) – 5 AM in Europe November 1st
Given that next week, a special Animal Crossing-focused Nintendo Direct will air on November 2nd, it seems likely that this maintenance is to prepare for the big update that was announced earlier this year, which, among other things, will add amiibo support to New Leaf. The update will probably go live after the Direct.
Momotaro Dentetsu 2017: Tachiagare Nippon!! will release December 22 for 3DS in Japan. The news comes from its official website, which just opened. There are also multiple screenshots of the game, which you can view below:
