Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Inti Creates shared a bunch of new Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 screenshots and details earlier in the week. This time around, we have big updates on the group G7, and a ton of specifics about two of their members.
First, the screenshots:
And now for the details:
The Grimoired Seven (more widely known as G7) is a group of seven people with abilities who have extraordinary 7th Waves even among Eden, and possess Fairy Tales. Eden doesn’t have a clear hierarchical positioning, but commands are often given to the G7, and they are yearned by other members of Eden.
Eden is a multinational union of ability people who have the 7th Wave. Their numbers are fewer than ordinary people, but they have enormous power. Most of the members used to be oppressed by ordinary people. They aim for the establishment of an ideal state for only ability people, advocating that “The ability people is the new mankind to build a new era, and the old mankind which don’t have 7th Wave must be exterminated”.
Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns details and screenshots – Inari’s gender, characters
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 7 Comments
Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns is once again featured in Famitsu. Similar to last week, there’s a lot of recap, but some new details as well.
Probably the biggest thing we learn pertains to Inari’s gender. The reason why players of both genders can marry the character is because its gender will change depending on the gender chosen for player. Picking the male player character will result in a female Inarie, and vice versa. Also notice that the male Inari has sharper-looking eyes.
Other than that, we also have the following information about other characters in the game:

Make your own Jibanyan in Yo-kai Watch 3
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Screenshots | 14 Comments
Level-5 shared a new round of details and screenshots pertaining to Yo-kai Watch 3 today. We have information about a new mode, Zombie Night, and more.
Here’s the rundown from today’s news blast:
My Nyan mode
Yo-kai Watch 3 will have a new My Nan mode, where the player will be able to create their own Jibanyan. Its appearance, color, voice and race can be freely edited. The special Jibanyan can be brought to battles, and its stats and skills can be strengthened.
One screenshot shows parts of its appearances that can be edited: head, head pattern, eyes, head accessory, body, tail, and necklace. Additionally, there is a selection of skills and special moves.
“Escape from the mysterious phenomenon Zombie Night”
Zombie Night is a night where the yo-kai aura balance became disrupted, and zombies appear in the city. To succeed in escaping it, the player will need to ring the Daybreak Bell without getting defeated by zombies. It is also possible to beat zombies by using the professor’s special hammer.
New character introduction: two FBY investigators Maruda and Kakuri who have a book named the Y File. It’s an obvious reference to the television series The X-Files.
Those who connect the Sushi and Tempura versions of Yo-kai Watch 3 will be provided with bonuses. Bonuses are also planned for those who connect with the toys.
Finally, some screenshots of today’s coverage:

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Even though Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice is just a few days away from launching in Japan, Famitsu does have some additional information to share. This week’s issue sheds light on the Apollo vs. Phoenix face-off as well as the DLC episode.
First, when it comes to the Apollo and Phoenix’s battle, a certain piece of evidence causes the two characters to clash. Blackquill is called as a witness in a trial (unknown if these two incidents are one and the same). After finding the spectator’s seats too “boring”, he hops behind the defense’s desk to act as support.
Famitsu also details the DLC episode Turnabout Across Time. Here’s the rundown on that:
– Larry introduces Phoenix to his bride-to-be, Shizuku Ootsube
– Shizuku: a maid working in the Haguruma household
– Shizuku claims that just after she was married, she was attacked and nearly killed, only to travel back in time at the critical moment
– She now finds herself the suspect instead
– Shizuku also says Larry’s got his head screwed on backwards as usual – she’s getting married to a man named Raito, the blue-haired mechanic
– Phoenix and Maya meet both Raito and Edgeworth when they head to the scene to investigate
– They soon find themselves going up against Edgeworth in court
