PhobosLab has ironed out XType Plus’s major bug (freezes systems when accessing online leaderboards) and has already submitted an update. It’s currently in testing, and if all goes well, it should be out soon.
That means XType Plus should be up on the Wii U eShop in the very near fuure. Also, those who purchased the game in Europe before its removal will be able to update their game in order to patch the bug.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Jakks Pacific is preparing fully articulated figures that will be released under the company’s World of Nintendo line. One Australian retailer has outed 4-inch Mario, Yoshi, and Link toys as well as 6-inch Bowser and Donkey Kong figures. Each one will apparently be released in September.
The 3DS version of Dragon Fantasy: Book I was made official through an official announcement published by Muteki today.
The game will feature several additions/changes, including:
– Ogden now has allies so that he doesn’t have to grind by his lonesome
– Bottom screen gives players info such as a map, quest log, inventory screen, beastiary
– Improved inventory system with sorting and filtering
– Purchase multiple items at once
– 3D support
Random battles have also been removed from Dragon Fantasy: Book I – for the most part anyway. Battles are still random on the world map, but not in towns, caves, dungeons, or caverns. In these areas, monsters will appear on screen and will take a step each time the hero does. You can choose to face monsters on their own terms or even avoid them completely.
Dragon Fantasy: Book I is currently “in the final testing phases before submission”. You can find screenshots from the game above.
