Famitsu’s final issue of 2016 features another big report on The Alliance Alive. This week’s information batch covers various aspects about the game, including weapons, magic, and plenty more.

Our translation of Famitsu’s report is as follows:

The Ark Ship Brionac

The only ark ship in this universe that can go through the Black Current to travel between worlds. Created by an unknown civilization, many features are included. This will become the player’s moving base after it’s obtained, allowing for destinations to be chosen as well as form the party. Famitsu notes that Brionac’s bridge looks like a shrine, and each character will have their own personal room.

After being announced earlier this month, Creeping Terror now has a release date. The game will drop on the Japanese 3DS eShop on January 18. Get a look at a trailer below.

Level-5 is working on the next big update for Yo-kai Watch 3. The company has now announced version 3.0 for the game. Details are light at the moment, but new versions of the Enma Daiou Yo-kai are confirmed.

Special – Taiyoushin Enma (Sushi)
Superb – Jikuushin Enma (Tempura)
Special Selection – Ankokushin Enma (Sukiyaki)

That’s literally all we know at the moment. Further information will be shared in 2017.
