The Digimon franchise is getting a new entry on 3DS in Japan, and Bandai Namco has provided some more details by opening their official site. The game bases itself (logically) around the fact that, with smartphone apps becoming very popular in the world, new Digimon have come into existence. These special Digimon, called Appmon (short for Appli Monsters), are the basis of the game. Players will build decks around Appmon, which can then grow, fight, and link with other Appmon. New Appmon can also be acquired via QR code. Furthermore, Appmon can be combined via a process called Appfusion to create new Appmon (for example, the website shows that fusing Gacchimon and Navimon will create Dogacchimon).

Though the game is due out on the Japanese eShop this fall, neither a localized release nor a retail release have been announced or dated.

You can also view some screenshots from the official site below.

Amazon Japan and Rakuten have revealed that One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum will release for 3DS on September 21st in Japan. The 2D action title is being developed by Arc System Works (published by Bandai Namco) and will feature 23 playable characters and over 80 additional assist characters, while also boasting strong visuals and simple, but exciting, controls. It will feature a mode where the player sails around the world, gathering their favorite crew, as well as a competitive online mode. Furthermore, first-print buyers will earn several rewards, including early unlocks for assist characters Edward Newgate, Marco, and Jozu, an in-game item for use in the “Create a Pirate Crew” mode, and a unique 3DS theme (via download code). There is also an unannounced item as a pre-order bonus from Amazon Japan.

Alongside this information, several new screenshots for the game have been released, which you can view below.
