Marvelous issued a new batch of screenshots from Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages. The images show Famitsu’s recent coverage, including your family and house upgrading.
We also have a quick bit of footage from the game:
SciFiNow recently caught up with Rocky Morton, one of the directors on the live-action Super Mario Bros. film from 1993. Morton spoke about the script, casting Mario and Luigi, and how it was tough creating the movie. He noted that it was “a harrowing experience”, and working with Dennis Hopper was “really, really hard.”
We’ve posted some of the interview excerpts below. You can find a bit more from Morton on SciFiNow here.
Nintendo UK attended a Monster Hunter Generations community event and asked fans what new features they’re most excited about in the game. Check it out below.
Level-5 shared a new round of details and screenshots pertaining to Yo-kai Watch 3 today. We have information about a new mode, Zombie Night, and more.
Here’s the rundown from today’s news blast:
My Nyan mode
Yo-kai Watch 3 will have a new My Nan mode, where the player will be able to create their own Jibanyan. Its appearance, color, voice and race can be freely edited. The special Jibanyan can be brought to battles, and its stats and skills can be strengthened.
One screenshot shows parts of its appearances that can be edited: head, head pattern, eyes, head accessory, body, tail, and necklace. Additionally, there is a selection of skills and special moves.
“Escape from the mysterious phenomenon Zombie Night”
Zombie Night is a night where the yo-kai aura balance became disrupted, and zombies appear in the city. To succeed in escaping it, the player will need to ring the Daybreak Bell without getting defeated by zombies. It is also possible to beat zombies by using the professor’s special hammer.
New character introduction: two FBY investigators Maruda and Kakuri who have a book named the Y File. It’s an obvious reference to the television series The X-Files.
Those who connect the Sushi and Tempura versions of Yo-kai Watch 3 will be provided with bonuses. Bonuses are also planned for those who connect with the toys.
Finally, some screenshots of today’s coverage:
Lightwood Games is continuing its work on the eShop with a new title. Later this year, “Word Logic by POWGI” will be released on both Wii U and 3DS.
Word Logic by POWGI features six pen-and-paper style word puzzles which require some degree of logic or deduction to solve. Both versions will support touchscreen controls while the 3DS edition will specifically offer handwriting recognition. A “left mode” is also included to avoid players blocking the screen with their stylus hand.
Here’s a rundown of the different puzzles:
• Kriss Kross – The classic word-fit puzzle. Place words into the grid using their length as a guide, and using logic to make sure everything overlaps correctly!
• Word Ladder – Make new words by changing one letter at a time. Can you turn one word into another in a limited number of steps?
• Crypto – A cipher puzzle (also known as a cryptogram) which reveals a quote when you crack the code!
• Word Sudoku – Place nine letters according to usual sudoku rules. As an extra clue, one row or column will spell a word.
• Gaps – Several words have one letter missing. Deduce the correct letter to fill in the gaps and spell a new word!
• Wordsweeper – Drawing inspiration from Minesweeper, the clues tell you which letters can be placed in an adjacent square. It’s a crossword-style puzzle solved using logic!
Word Logic by POWGI is tentatively targeted for August.
