Atlus will let fans sample Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars through a demo being made available later this month. The trial, which allows progress to be transferred to the final version, will launch on March 25. Those who complete it will earn a set of bonus goodies to help them out in the game.
The file size of Moon Chronicles’ first episode weighs in at about 180MB, according to Renegade Kid.
Co-founder Jools Watsham wrote on Twitter:
The Moon Chronicles ROM is currently about 180MB. That's not too big, is it?

Watsham also said the final version going on up the eShop won’t be heavily compressed. Cut-scenes will feature minimal compression and max bandwidth.
@Vactro I agree. Don't worry, we're not compressing like crazy. The cut-scene videos have minimal compression and use maximum bandwidth. 🙂

Another new (but small) update has landed on Miiverse.
As of now, users can filter a community’s popular posts by date. This applies to all versions of Miiverse – Wii U, 3DS, and PC.
Miiverse’s Marty relayed the news:
Two Tribes has put out three classic games on Wii U thus far: Toki Tori, RUSH, and EDGE. One more re-release appears to be on the way, based on a new tweet from the studio.
Earlier today, Two Tribes said on Twitter that it will reveal “a new classic coming to Wii U soon.”
The message in full:
Looks like we'll be announcing a new classic coming to Wii U soon. Can you guess which one?

It turns out that Shuuhou Imai’s new 3DS game is one that we’ve heard about before, though we had yet to see any sort of images or details until now.
The game in question is Hamatora: Look at Smoking World. You’ll find a commercial from the game above, and a few screenshots/details below.
– Imai working on the game with FuRyu
– Hamatora won’t take place in a parallel world from Hamatora: The Animation or the manga version
– Takes place in the same world, but has a different story
– The game will be enjoyable to those who’ve yet to see the anime or read the manga
– Imai was inspired by the shared universe concept often seen in American comics, where works of different titles (ex: DC and Marvel Universe can take place in the same world)
– Tokyo Majin Gakuen characters could still appear
– For now, the only thing we know that’s shared is the world between Hamatora’s anime and manga
– Game takes place in a port town of Kobe, Japan
– The transfer student protagonist suddenly has his special powers awakened
– He participates in fights with other high school students
– The characters will all be original to the game
– Imai spoke with people from the Kobe film office and visited other parts of Kobe, which will be included in the game
– Will see certain shopping districts modeled after real-life areas
– Can view them in stereoscopic 3D
– Battle system won’t be anything like Tokyo Twilight Ghosthunters
– Will be closer to the Tokyo Majin Gakuen series, which uses a strategy RPG battle system
– Out on July 17 in Japan
