Atlus has finally confirmed the rumored Etrian Odyssey II remake for 3DS – complete with a trailer. The game is coming to Japan this winter.

Atlus’ Etrian Odyssey II remake will offer a new story and an opening video from Madhouse. Kanako It? will be singing the game’s theme.

More information about the Etrian Odyssey II remake is included in this week’s issue of Famitsu. You can find the official website here.

A feature published on Famitsu’s website late last week details three weapons in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: the Charge Blade, Dual Blades, and Heavy Bowgun. For information about each of these, check out our summary below (translations from Siliconera):

Charge Blade

– Can switch between sword and axe forms
– Lets you charge up energy to unleash powerful attacks
– In Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, the weapon gets a new feature with a shield thrust attack while in Sword mode, and a powerful spin-attack in its Axe form

Dual Blades

– New Archdemon mode in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
– This is the one that activates after Demon mode with a full gauge
_ Archdemon allows you to use your finishing move, but instead of experiencing the normal delay, you’ll be able to keep on attacking with continuous combos

Heavy Bowgun

– Additional bump in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
– This only applies to weapons of six-star rarity and higher
– New Heavy Bowgun feature lets you unlock the weapon’s limits that allows you to use a FireWyvern shot, and then attack with other shots while reloading the FireWyvern ammo
– Weapon’s downtime while waiting for the reload decreases as well

NeoGAF’s “Masked Man” has translated one of Masahiro Sakurai’s older Famitsu columns in which he discusses Pac-Man’s inclusion in the new Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. He talks about how Miyamoto originally approached him with the idea when developing Brawl, Pac-Man’s reveal at E3, the character’s design, and much more.

You’ll find the full translation below:

Next week’s issue of Famitsu will have a big scoop, as noted in the magazine’s current edition. At least if the tease leads to a disappointing reveal or a non-Nintendo announcement, we’ll be able to look forward to more coverage of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate as well. Famitsu also promises a recommended games feature for readers.

The next issue of Famitsu should arrive during the middle of next week. However, as is usually the case, leaks will occur as early as Tuesday.
