Famitsu has more coverage of Shin Megami Tensei IV Final this week. In the latest issue, we get a look at three more characters from different factions that will be partner characters. The image above has a first look at “Hallelujah” from the Ashura-kai, “Toki” from Ring of Gaea, and “Gaston” who is a Samurai.
Get a closer look at the three characters in the video below.
We also have these details from the videos:
– Gaston is the one in white
– He is actually Navarre’s younger brother
– Hallelujah (in the yellow jacket) points out that his personality and the way he talks is exactly the same
– Gaston doesn’t take too kindly to those remarks, and denies that he ever had a brother
– He says “no such blood runs in his veins”
– Gaston is shown not trusting Toki, who says that she has the same objective as the others, and has no intention of going against them as an enemy
Wind-up Knight 2 arrived on the Japanese 3DS eShop earlier today as a New 3DS exclusive. View a trailer for the game below.
Many years ago, Rare was working on something known as “Dream” for the SNES and N64. This eventually became Banjo-Kazooie after it was heavily reworked.
We never got a proper look at Dream… until now. Rare published a video today showing the title running on both the SNES and N64. Brand new footage is below, along with staff interviews.
Zelda: Tri Force Heroes’ new update, version 2.1.0, went live several hours ago. You’ll need 1,108 blocks of space for the download. That amounts to roughly 138.5MB.
A new Miiverse update went live this week. There aren’t any major additions, but there are a couple of changes.
First, for the Wii U, 3DS, and PC version of Miiverse, users now need to choose a tag when creating a message in the Discussion section. Options include “Hint”, “Question”, “Looking for Teammate”, and more.
Also new to the PC version of Miiverse are links to different game pages on Nintendo’s Japanese website. These pages have basic information about different titles and allow consumers to make purchases. Note that this feature is only live in Japan at the moment.
This week’s issue of Famitsu features comments from various developers about what’s in store for 2016. For Pokemon developer Game Freak, the studio shared the following:
“2016 is Pokémon’s 20th anniversary. We’d like to make it into a great year of celebrations.”
There are a couple of other Nintendo-related comments from other developers as well. Here’s what Arc System Works and Koei Tecmo said:
Arc System Works: We have various things planned out for the excitement of Kunio-kun series’ 30th anniversary.
Koei Tecmo: Attack on Titan, Yo-kai Watch: Three Kingdoms, Ni-Oh,and more. There are many big titles that we wouldn’t able to fit in here, along with some amazing titles that we’ve yet to announce.
Update: Service has been restored.
The Wii U and 3DS eShops are unavailable at the moment. Nintendo says that both digital shops have been experiencing issues since 6:05 AM PT / 9:05 AM ET. If we see any new updates pertaining to the situation, we’ll update this post.

It’s Tuesday, which means new content for Pokemon Shuffle.
First of all, the Mega Garchomp competition has ended, so make sure to claim your rewards.
New main stages have been added to the game. If you’ve managed to beat the fairly tough Roserade, you can now proceed with stage #251, Inkay.
Completing the Regi trio, Regice is now available as a special stage. You have until December 28th to beat it and catch it.
Another Legendary Pokemon making its return is Shaymin. You have until January 5th to get it. The first time you beat the stage, you will also receive a Jewel, so it’s worth doing it even if you have Shaymin already.
Finally, making its debut in Pokemon Shuffle is Keldeo in its Resolute form. It’s an escalation battle, meaning it will get progressively easier to catch it. You will also receive rewards after beating certain levels of this stage:
| 25 | 1000 Coins |
| 30 | 1 Mega Speedup |
| 40 | 1000 coins |
| 50 | 1 Mega Speedup |
| 60 | 1000 Coins |
| 70 | 1 Disruption Delay |
| 80 | 1 Attack Power Up |
| 90 | 1000 Coins |
| 100 | 1 Mega Speedup |
