During the 2015 Tokyo Game Show a few hours ago, Bandai Namco unveiled a few new characters for Project X Zone 2. Chrom and Lucina from Fire Emblem, Fiora from Xenoblade, and KOS-MOS were all confirmed for the game.
We now have several images from the official site showing the new characters. All of the shots are attached to this post.
Earlier today, Capcom held a stage event for Monster Hunter Stories at the 2015 Tokyo Game Show. The full recording is below. Be sure to give it a look, as it features the first direct-feed gameplay from Stories.
If you were on the site in 2008, you may recall that there were quite a few rumors surrounding Factor 5 developing a Kid Icarus game for Wii. Of course, we all know now that such a project never came to be.
Liam Robertson has been doing some investigative work as of late in hopes of finding out more about Factor 5’s plans for Kid Icarus on Nintendo’s old console. You can listen to his findings in the video below.
Hyrule Warriors Legends will have stereoscopic 3D support – sort of. In an interview with 4Gamer, producer Yosuke Hayashi confirmed that the game will only make use of 3D on the New 3DS.
Naturally, the 3DS is not as powerful as the Wii U. Koei Tecmo worked hard to balance the enemy count, and displaying as many enemies as possible on screen was important. The New 3DS gave Hyrule Warriors Legends that extra boost to make stereoscopic 3D possible.
Hayashi also talked about things we’ve heard in the past: the 3DS version of Hyrule Warriors came about due to fan interest, more characters are coming, amiibo will be supported, DLC characters from the Wii U version will be immediately available on 3DS, and DLC is possible. We’ll also mention that a code will be included with all copies of the game so that players can unlock Toon Link, Tetra, and the King of Hyrule in the Wii U version.
Koei Tecmo is nearly done with the development of Hyrule Warriors Legends, and they’re currently working on polishing things. That makes sense, as the game is launching on January 21 in Japan.
For the original release of Hyrule Warriors, Koei Tecmo brought out special “Premium Box” and “Treasure Box” Editions. The 3DS version, Hyrule Warriors Legends, is receiving the same treatment as well.
The Premium Box will include a compass-style pendant watch and art book. These items are also in the Premium Box, which also contains a gold ocarina and a fairy plushie.
Koei Tecmo recently showed off the pendant and ocarina during a stage event at Tokyo Game Show. You can get a look at both below.
Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson arrived in North America earlier this week. You’ll find a bunch of footage from the game below.
Super Mario Maker moved 150,000 units in its first week in Japan. According to sales tracker Media Create, the game sold through 56.03 percent of its initial shipment.
Media Create heard from store owners that many people who purchased Super Mario Maker were adults. This is likely because they are the ones who would have grown up playing Mario.
Also, there were hardware bundles that included the game (both types together sold 12,000 units), leading to a nearly double increase in Wii U sales from last week (204.18 percent), exceeding sales from the first week of June. Since the Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle will soon be replacing the Mario Kart 8 edition, Media Create believes this should increase long term sales during the coming end of year season.
In last week’s issue of Famitsu, the magazine published a review of Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. Four editors gave the game a “9” for a total of 36 points.
We now have a complete translation of Famitsu’s Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. You can find it after the break.
Bandai Namco announced a number of new characters for Project X Zone 2 at the Tokyo Game Show today – including a couple from Nintendo’s Fire Emblem franchise.
Fire Emblem’s Chrom and Lucina will both be included in the game as a part unit. Additionally, Fiora from Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenosaga’s KOS-MOS are tied together.
Here’s the official trailer:
We also have a good look at Chrom and Lucina below:
