Adventure Bar Labyrinth previously hit PlayStation Mobile back in 2013. Now the game is coming to 3DS, as confirmed by Rideon’s Kenichi Sonoda. A release is planned for spring in Japan.
Adventure Bar Labyrinth is a spin-off of Adventure Bar Story. The RPG has players taking on the quest of recovering a legendary secret treasure from a huge, underground labyrinth. Using items, battling monsters, and leveling up are key elements of the experience. It seems that the game was originally a free-to-play title (basic play is free, pay for items), but it remains to be seen if the 3DS version will adopt a similar model.
Circle Entertainment previously brought Adventure Bar Story overseas. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them pick up this one as well!
Her Story developer Sam Barlow has some interest in releasing his critically-acclaimed game on Wii U. However, he would need to overcome a few hurdles in order to make that happen.
Barlow responded with the following when Nintendo News asked if he’s ever thought about bringing Her Story to a Nintendo platform:
“No… I mean I’d love to, but I’m guessing that the content isn’t a perfect match. Though, the keyboard interface would actually work on a Wii U.”
Last night, the People’s Choice Awards 2016 were held in at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Most of the categories centered around television, movies, and music, but there was also an award handed out for “Favorite Video Game”.
So who picked up the win? That went to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS having beaten out Batman: Arkham Knight, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Grand Theft Auto V, and Minecraft.
Later this month, EnjoyUp Games will be bringing RV-7 My Drone to the European 3DS eShop (and soon in North America). We now have a trailer for the game, which you can see below.
Fresh details about Medabots Girl Mission have emerged from Famitsu. As previously mentioned, the game is launching very soon in Japan: March 10.
Like previous Medabots games, two versions are planned: Kabuto and Kuwagata. The former features a story in Joyou Agricultural High School whereas the latter takes place in Teikou High School. Kabuto stars Minori Houjou (voiced by Ibuki Kido) and has Metabee. Kuwagata features Kaidou Megumi (voiced by Aya Suzaki) and has Rokusho.
More than 20 girls are included in Medabots Girl Mission. It’ll follow the path that players take to compete in the Artemis Cup tournament.
