Namco Bandai has shared details and screenshots for Game Center CX 3’s “Blood of Dragon”, one of the mini-games included in the upcoming 3DS title.
Blood of the Dragon is an RPG that places players in the shoes of Ask. You’ll need to defeat the root of evil to bring peace back to the world.
Blood of the Dragon includes a real-time combat system as well as a job change system. It also features a time bar at the bottom of the screen where you can see everyone’s turns.
Along with the above screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following charming message through Miiverse:

Nintendo Everything has received confirmation from Muteki Corporation that Dragon Fantasy: Book I as well as Dragon Fantasy: Book II are in the works for the 3DS.
Dragon Fantasy: Book I should be hitting the eShop sometime this spring. Book 2 will likely follow “as early as in the fall or winter,” according to the studio’s creative director Adam Rippon.
Dragon Fantasy: Book I previously landed on a number of platforms including the PS3, PS Vita, PC, and iOS. However, Nintendo’s handheld should end up receiving the definitive version. That’s because Muteki has made a bunch of changes/additions for the new release, such as the inclusion of 3D visuals, built-in maps of towns/dungeons, dual screen battles, the ability to turn off/on random battles, and more.
You can find a few exclusive screenshots from the 3DS version of Dragon Fantasy: Book I above. We’ll have more details about the game in an interview due to be published this weekend.
A message from Capcom CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto outlines some fairly ambitious plans for the company over the next five years, not the least of which is their plan to hire at least 100 new development staffers every year. The goal? To improve the strength of the team at Capcom and the quality of titles put out in order to build a stronger brand and make more money.
“Our next objective is to provide to as many people as possible a variety of products that take full advantage of Capcom’s vast amount of content,” he said, noting that certain games– Monster Hunter 4 in particular— performed excellently over the past year while others– Resident Evil 6 comes to mind– did not.
Milan, Italy: The Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”), the highest court in the European Union, today handed down its decision in Case C-355/12 (Nintendo v PC Box). Nintendo is pleased that the ruling of the CJEU is generally consistent with the opinion of Advocate General Sharpston and Nintendo’s own observations to the questions referred by the Milan Tribunal.
The CJEU’s interpretation of the Copyright Directive appears to be in line with the international obligations of the European Union and its Member States under the WIPO Copyright Treaty and furthermore, supports those national Courts in Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain and the UK which have already considered and applied the same provisions of EU law consistently resulting in many positive decisions against sellers of circumvention devices.
The release of Watch Dogs on Wii U may be in jeopardy.
GameStop locations in Italy have been telling consumers that the game will not be available for Nintendo’s platform and are being advised to move their pre-orders to a different version. Additionally, the retailer is says Ubisoft cancelled Watch Dogs on Wii U. It’s supposedly no longer in GameStop’s database as well.
These tidbits don’t come straight from Ubisoft, but there is still a reason to be concerned about Watch Dogs’ status. Has Ubisoft truly canned the Wii U version?
Thanks to Timo for the tip.
