The latest issue of Shonen Sunday magazine has revealed a new collaboration with Shinobu Ohtaka’s Magi manga and anime adaptation. Players will be able to equip themselves with Aladdin’s staff in addition to Alibaba’s sword Amon (available as a broad sword). Capcom will also be including collaboration quests that provide the title of “Magic” and a Magi-themed guild card.

Final Fantasy Explorers will be one of a few 3DS games to not make use of the system’s stereoscopic 3D visuals. Square Enix has also detailed how the game will control on New 3DS. The camera can be controlled with the c-stick, the ZL button is used for monster lock-on, and the ZR button is for summon monster lock-on. Players can also use the Circle Pad Pro with a regular 3DS.
