Nintendo announced a few new bundles for North America yesterday. These included two special Smash Bros. systems, a NES-inspired design, and a Persona Q bundle.
Regarding the latter two, it turns out that they won’t be released in Europe. The company confirmed to Eurogamer that there are “no plans” to bring either hardware option to the continent.
The final roster for the new Smash Bros. games is in. Early buyers of the 3DS version have completed unlocking characters, so the fun is sadly over.
Head past the break for the full list.
Natsume has shared new information about Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. This time around, we have details regarding the game’s bachelorettes.
Check out overviews of each below.
Emily serves as a waitress at her mother’s restaurant as she learns the ropes of the business. Always quick to smile, she is both very energetic and active! Emily is terrified of insects, but otherwise is adventurous, and practically fearless. Like her mother Hanna, she’s very straightforward, and loves working at the restaurant, carrying on the family tradition. As you’d expect, Emily is a force to be reckoned with in the Cooking Festival! You’d better give it everything you’ve got if you want to beat her cooking!
April is a gentle girl, and the daughter of Iris, who travels to the Lost Valley to hunt for and purchase flowers. She has her mother’s eyes, as well as sharing the same soft blonde hair. April is training to take over her mother’s duties when she retires…if she can get over her crippling shyness! April loves flowers, and wants to gather those that grow in the Lost Valley. Gentle, generous, and good-natured, it’s unusual to find April in a bad mood. April is very talented at making beautiful bouquets, but she doesn’t see it that way, and is very critical of herself.
Catherine has grown up living a posh life in a mansion. With a no-nonsense attitude, her cold shoulder has scared away any potential friends she may have made within the Lost Valley. If you’re willing to get close to this prickly cactus, you’ll discover in truth that she’s a lonely young woman. Catherine has spent many hours alone in her mansion, so she’s had to grow up with a sense of self-reliance, and doesn’t trust others easily. Although she is loath to admit it, deep down, she wants and needs friends, human contact, and love.
Screenshots featuring Emily, April, and Catherine can be found in our gallery above.
