Capcom has started to reveal some of the titles it intends to showcase at this year’s Tokyo Game Show.
Perhaps the biggest news is that The Great Ace Attorney will be featured at the expo next month. Attendees can watch footage in a special theater room, and Capcom will be giving out a postcard set.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Gaist Crusher God are also a part of Capcom’s TGS 2014 lineup. It additionally seems that Forbdiden Magna and Bakumatsu Rock Ultra Soul from Marvelous will be featured as partner titles.

French coder Smealum will soon be releasing a Homebrew Channel hack for the 3DS. It’s compatible with the latest 3DS firmware and supports North American, European, and Japanese systems.
Note that the hack will not load commercial or pirated 3DS ROMs. Users will only be able to launch homebrew apps and games.
As far as region unlocking goes, Smealum recently mentioned that “playing games from other region[s] should almost definitely be possible” sometime in the future.
Thanks to JeGeekJePlay for the tip.
Fresh off the heels of the announcement today, Inti Creates have offered the first look at Mighty Gunvolt! The video is embedded below and should automatically start at the footage.
