Famitsu has pulled back the curtain on a new Battle for Money game on 3DS. Brace yourself: the title is “Super Battle for Money: The Ultimate Ninja and Battle Player’s Top Decisive Battle!”.
This new game is again based around the well-known Fuji TV show. Participants use dodgeballs to eliminate enemy targets in order to be the last one standing and win the grand prize. Support ninjas from the TV show are included along with brand new ones. Bandai Namco is also packing in a “My Ninja” feature that lets you use a meter to make your own ninja, stage original ninjas with their own special abilities, and more.
Japan will have Super Battle for Money: The Ultimate Ninja and Battle Player’s Top Decisive Battle! on September 15.

Konami just published a new trailer for Yu-Gi-Oh! Saikyo Card Battle, which will be released in Japan on July 6th. Give it a watch:
Mighty No. 9 is being released in North America today and to celebrate the occasion, Comcept live-streamed the game for a bit. Keiji Inafune was also present and answered some questions posed by viewers.
The game’s reception was middling at best – it’s currently sitting at a Metacritic score of 60. Users are also reporting several issues with the game already, such as slow load times on the Wii U version. Commenting on the general reception as well as DLC and future plans, Inafune said the following through a translator:
So there’s not any additional DLC beyond the Ray DLC. The reality is they put everything into making this game. They didn’t try to microtransaction it out, they didn’t try to DLC it out for extra money. They put it all in. So, for now, this is what you see and what you get, for the Mighty No. 9 world. But, again, we can hope that if things go well, there’ll be sequels. Because I’ll tell you what, I’m not getting my 2D side-scrolling fill. And at the end of the day, even if it’s not perfect, it’s better than nothing. At least, that’s my opinion.
