Atlus just kicked off a live stream on Twitch to showcase extensive gameplay from Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight. As the embed auto-plays, we’ve posted it after the break.
Well, so much for the roguelike dungeon being Bloodstained’s final Kickstarter stretch goal! With just six hours remaining, the team has added in one final target. If funds reach $5.5 million, Bloodstained will be receiving a boss revenge mode.
There’s six hours remaining before Bloodstained’s Kickstarter expires. We’ll know pretty soon if the campaign manages to reach this one final stretch goal.
Capcom’s most recent video for The Great Ace Attorney introduced Barok van Zieks. Information translated by Siliconera sheds new like on the game’s prosecutor. Read up on the details below.
– Goes head-to-head against Ryunosuke in the game
– Known as the “Death God” of Old Bailey, the Central Criminal Court of England
– Given that name because nobody stands after facing him in a trial
– He also has been given a dark image
– Series creator Shu Takumi explains that at the time, the Western judicial system was at the top of the world, and London shined the brightest
– However, where there’s light, there’s always darkness, and that’s where you find Baroque Vanzieks
– Takumi says that we’ve seen all kinds of different prosecutors thus far, and Baroque is one they created while coming up with his background first
– The team wanted to give him a dark vibe,
– Also wanted to give him the vibe you’d get from a “death god”
– He also has some dynamic and fierce animations to go with his undefeated record streak
Atlus’ latest update on Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight covers the RPG’s “Grimoire Stones”. Information about the feature is posted below, in addition to a new trailer.
Tell me if you’ve ever been in THIS nightmare scenario: your party is whittling down a mini-boss, and the encounter is going well! Everyone’s health is a little low but it’s manageable. The killing blow strikes down the mini-boss in the nick of time, but upon his death, 5 trash monsters take his place. Normally they’d be a cakewalk, but the healer’s head is bound, the main damage dealer and the ranged damage dealer are out of TP. Everyone but the tank is wiped out by the 5 trash mobs, but he won’t last against all 5 of them.
IF ONLY HE HAD A HEALING SPELL OR A MULTI-TARGET ATTACK!
Enter Grimoire Stones – equippable items that bestow the user with new skills, even enemy ones. So in the previous situation, your Tank could have an all-target attack Grimoire Stone equipped and have wiped out those monsters instead of losing the fight.
The Grimoire Stone system from Etrian Odyssey Untold has been completely overhauled. Regina in the cafe will be able to help players equip, trade, and recycle Grimoire Stones. Trading Grimoire Stones is as simple as picking any of the passing explorers in the cafe and striking up a deal with them. Players will be able to see how good their offer stacks up, and once it hits 100%, the deal is done! You can keep adding to the deal if you need to make up some ground, so it’s a good idea to keep those low-level Grimoires around.
Regina can also help with recycling Grimoire Stones. Select the Grimoires you don’t plan on using, offer them up to Regina for recycling, spend some time in a labyrinth and voila – a new Grimoire! Like trading, you’ll be able to see the level of the Grimoire Stone Regina will be able to produce…the more you add in, the higher level of Grimoire you can get.
Grimoire Stones also bestow new weapon skills on characters; so if you want your Protector to use a Highlander’s spear or if your Troubadour wants to go all Indiana Jones with a whip, Grimoire Stones are the answer!

Update: Best Buy Canada is throwing in a possible day as well. Mario Maker could potentially launch on September 11.
Before Nintendo announced the final release date for Splatoon and revealed its related amiibo, South African Raru accurately listed these items. So it’s interesting then that this store listed Mario Maker for release on September 25 today, only to have it removed soon after. Chances are that we’ll be getting an official date next week!
Previously-released amiibo could be seeing a sizable restock in the United States, if CPSIA documents are anything to go by. These documents indicate that various amiibo will be seeing one month of additional production. That goes for amiibo like the Villager, Rosalina, Lucario, Captain Falcon, and more.
The latest issue of CoroCoro has revealed that Mega Evolutions are in for Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. Other than that, it’s confirmed that Hoopa Unbound will be present. We also have a look at the first artwork and 3DS theme for pre-ordering the title.
Update: We’ve been tricked! There’s a new final stretch goal: boss revenge mode. Details here.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night’s Kickstarter has hit $5 million (combined with PayPal funds). The final stretch goal has been cleared, and the game will be receiving a roguelike dungeon mode.
As a reminder, here’s what fans can expect from the feature:
In this mode you’ll face a new castle every time, braving its treacherous (and massive) halls for loot, glory, and the simple, satisfying feeling of going where no Miriam has gone before. Once you’ve explored its passages and defeated its boss, you’ll get a code that will enable you to share your randomly generated dungeon with a friend.
Nine hours remain in the Bloodstained Kickstarter campaign. If you’d like to donate before it ends, head on over here.
Thanks to Maxime for the tip.
