This week’s issue of Famitsu contains a six-page article on The Alliance Alive, FuRyu’s new RPG and successor of sorts to The Legend of Legacy. A couple of the pages were rehash, but new information was included as well.
To recap, the game follows a story in which the Demon Clan invaded the human world thousands of years ago. After the lands were split apart, they are now ruled by a caste system that puts the Demon Clan at the top.

You may recall that Nintendo issued a preview download for Miitopia in Japan. Next Wednesday, it will be updated.
Nintendo is packing in a new adventure movie, costume change feature, and “Everyone’s Mii” functionality. Additionally, it’s mentioned that Miitopia’s built-in Mii studio is capable of using 32 colors, which was limited to eight in the normal Mii Studio.

Also worth mentioning: Miitopia’s website has been updated with the confirmation of new jobs. These include: Cat, Devil, Scientist, Tank, Princess, and Flower. View some footage below.
