The latest trailer for the game just came online a few minutes ago. In the new video, we learn that it’s been updated with the title “Lost Reavers”, and a beta test is happening soon.

Lost Reavers is a free-to-play online co-op action game. Four players hunt down treasure by fighting whatever gets in their way.

Players will have several characters to choose from. Sayuri, for instance, is an all-rounder who fights with both blades and guns. Dwayne is a “power type” character who seems to use heavy weapons. Victoria duel-wields guns, and ShadowStalk is a tricky character with a variety of attacks.

The main goal in Lost Reavers is to find and recover relics, but there’ll be all kinds of enemies and giant bosses standing in the way. One aspect of the game lets you customize the characters with different weapons, costumes and consumable items. The GamePad displays the map and can be used to chat with other players through pre-set messages. All of that stuff also appears on the main screen, so there might be Pro Controller support.

The Pokemon Company casts some doubt on Pokken Tournament arcade releasing in the west

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 10 Comments

Pokemon Tournament’s Wii U version is launching worldwide next spring. The fighter is also on arcades in Japan, but its future in the west is unclear.

Take a look at this exchange between Nintendo World Report and The Pokemon Company’s J.C. Smith:

Nintendo World Report (NWR): So the whole Dave & Buster’s thing…
J.C. Smith (JS): Mhm.
NWR: How that’s moving towards arcades presumably next year. We’ll see how that goes. Was that organized by The Pokémon Company International also?
JS: It was not actually. In fact, I haven’t been involved in that, but I’ve been told that the arcade machine is not coming to the U.S., so I don’t know exactly what the plan is. But that was a long while ago, so who knows what may have changed. You know, you can’t stop someone from buying an arcade system so who knows what’s down the road.
NWR: So last you heard, there were no plans.
JS: Yeah, I haven’t been working closely on the arcade side at all because, really, I never worked on the arcade side but we’ll see. I think that will be handled by Bandai Namco. But I’d have to follow-up with you on that.

We had originally heard from Dave & Buster’s Kevin Bachus that Pokken Tournament would be tested in their arcades. Is that still in the cards? I don’t think anyone can say for certain at this point.

Bandai Namco and UIG Entertainment are bringing a pair of simulation titles to Europe. Professional Farmer 2016 and Professional Lumberjack 2016 are on the way to Nintendo’s console.

Below is an overview of each game:

Professional Farmer 2016 will take players to the countryside in one of the most realistic and authentic farming simulations ever made. Choose your favourite tractor from many different official constructors, care for it in your own garage and then take it out on the field ready for a day’s work. The game features a huge world to farm across, differing distinctive seasons, a career mode and even dynamic field management depending on the type of grain. Live the farming dream across many hours of gameplay.
In Professional Lumberjack 2016 players manage their mighty crew of cutters, create a prosperous sawmill and expand their woodland business in a realistic world ruled by the different seasons. A great lumberjack knows their Bigtooth Aspen from a Slippery Elm. To get the job done, players must understand each tree and identify the right tool in order to gain the greatest return on their hard work in the most efficient way possible.
