New Hyrule Warriors details cover the latest stage reveals
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
This week’s issue of Famitsu has another update on Hyrule Warriors. While Monday’s Hyrule Warriors Direct beat the magazine to the punch with new character reveals, there is an update on some other portions of the game such as stages. The official website provides more information as well.
There are three stages detailed this week worth mentioning: Gerudo Desert, Temple of the Sacred Sword, and Palace of the Mind. Each is an original stage for Hyrule Warriors, though they share the atmosphere of Zelda games. For instance, Twilight Princess has the Gerudo Desert, and the Temple of the Sacred Sword is a close image of the Lost Woods in A Link to the Past.

Why Atlus decided to remake Etrian Odyssey II
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Atlus released Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl – a remake of the first Etrian Odyssey – in 2013. Now a remake of the series’ second entry, titled Etrian Odyssey II Untold: The Knight of the Fafnir, is coming to Japan later this year.
What led Atlus to revisit Etrian Odyssey’s second entry? Atlus’ Shigeo Komori explained to Famitsu:
The previous installment, The Millennium Girl, was a new attempt in the Etrian Odyssey series. It made me nervous as to whether it would receive everyone’s acceptance, but thankfully we got impressions like “It was fun!” from many who played it, so that made me very happy. Also, because we have heard thankful voices like “While I’m waiting for the next numbered title, I’d also like to have the new Etrian Odyssey Untold series continue!”, that has given us the push to make the second.

Famitsu has shared screenshots from Etrian Odyssey II Untold: The Knight of the Fafnir. We also have learned a bit about the game’s plot.
Etrian Odyssey II Untold: The Knight of the Fafnir is set in the land of High Lagaard. The game stars Arianna, princess of the Duchy of Caledonia, as she heads to Ginnunga. Ginnunga is made up of mysterious old ruins and houses a ceremony that takes place only once a century.
When Ginnunga and her traveling party reach Ginnunga, the protagonist’s body is struck by an unknown ailment. This turns his body grotesque as his eyes go red and his hands and feet harden.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
This week’s issue of Famitsu has a new report on Bayonetta 2. In it, the magazine primarily details Umbran Elegances and accessories, both of which are back for PlatinumGames’ sequel.
Bayonetta 2 allows players to obtain weapons and accessories from Rodin’s shop similar to the first game. “Rakshasa” and “Kafka” are two of the weapons that can be used with Umbran Elegance.
Rakshasa is a sword, and imprisoned within is a demon who has been purified. By flowing the power of Rakshasa into the wielder, one can easily swing the sword with dance-like movements.
