Earlier today, Bandai Namco put out a press release for Lost Heroes 2 with a whole slew of details about the game. Gematsu weeded out the new information and has provided complete translations. You can find the full overview below.

Story Overview

Feeling impending danger, legendary heroes come upon Kaiser Belial gathering the Fragments of Regis in an attempt to revive Regis.Their efforts fail, though, with their powers sapped by Kaiser Belial and their lives in jeopardy. With nothing to get in the way of things, the power of the Fragements of Regis are unleashed, raining down darkness upon the world once more and bringing back the evil world of Cube as the forces of justice watch powerlessly. As the bastions of darkness intently pursue that power for its own ends, the Lost Heroes rise up and bring the fight to the enemy in the hopes of preventing Regis’ return before it’s too late.

Toys “R” Us will be running a slight deal on amiibo figures next week. If you buy three, you’ll be able to get them for $30.

amiibo figures will typically be priced at $12.99 (not sure why the ad above lists $13.99). So by taking advantage of the Toys “R” Us deal, you’ll save nearly $10.

The deals shown above will technically begin on November 16, and will last through November 22. But since amiibo isn’t launching until November 21, you’ll only have a couple of days to take advantage of the sale.

The New 3DS and DSi are very comparable products in their nature. Neither system is a true leap to the next generation of Nintendo handheld hardware, but both act as notable upgrades over their predecessors. Given how similar the New 3DS and DSi are – at least in their purpose – it’s interesting to see just how similarly the two systems have sold in Japan thus far.

The New 3DS and New 3DS XL have sold over 500,000 units in five weeks, according to sales tracker Media Create. As it turns out, this was the same case for DSi. That system released on November 1, 2008 and sold over 500,000 units in five weeks.
