The official Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional website is now open for business, and it’s brought along some new details with it. Find the information rounded up below, courtesy of Gematsu.

– 700 monsters
– 200 more than the original game
– Monsters from newer titles like Dragon Quest X and Hoshi no Dragon Quest will appear in great numbers, as well as completely original monsters
– Up until now, there have been good fields and bad fields for ridable monsters, but in Joker 3 Professional, that notion is negated
– Ex: before you would have to ride a monster that lives in the water to dive into the bottom of a lake, but now every monster can be used to swim
– Can also ride giant monsters
– When doing so, you can enjoy the adventure as if you’ve transformed into a huge monster
– Just like when riding a normal size monster, you can ataack enemies while riding a giant monster, as well as utilize its large size to trample monsters wandering about
– New areas have been added that only those aiming to be the strongest can enter
– Many new adventures await players in these new areas
– Somewhat different monsters from what we’ve seen so far wander about the savage lands of the planet
– Nochorin, who lives with the Nochora Clan in Break World, will become the player’s “partner” and travel with him on this adventure
– Nochorin not only provides a variety of help in the field, he’s also a reliable partner who participates in battle
– Various elements have been added on the system side to make things speedier
– Story Shortcuts – The basic story of Joker 3 Professional is the same as Joker 3, but there is a now a shortcut function that lets you advance the story to specific scenes
– Can look back on story scenes through a synopsis
– Speedier Movement – Compared to the original game, the movement speed on the field has significantly increased
– Make Battles Faster – Speed battles were in the original game, but now you can also use the feature during Wi-Fi and local battles
– Import your monster data from the original game
– If you have save data from the original game, you’ll be able to import data at a maximum of 10 monsters a day at any time
– Your monsters’ skills, size, and even their coloring will be imported

Some new information about the latest entry in the Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter XX, has been revealed via the latest issue of Famitsu. The folks at Gematsu have kindly translated it.

The biggest news is the new Brave Style, a style which focuses on continuous attacks. However, you can only equip one hunter art when using this style. The style’s biggest feature is its Brave State, which you can achieve by filling your Brave Gauge. You can accomplish that by parrying the attacks of monsters. While you are in your Brave State, the Brave Gauge gradually decreases again – however, continuously attacking and parrying will keep it from falling. Brave Style is intended as a “sharper” style which is easy to grasp.

When you’re in the Brave State, your evasiveness with certain weapon types increases and you are able to use powerful link attacks and special techniques. Here are some examples of these special attacks:

• “Strong Charged Moving Slash” (Great Sword): a charged attack while moving
• “Step Shot” (Light Bowgun): shoots a special bullet while moving
• “True Charge” (Hammer): two extra strong charged attacks following the regular charged attack

Another new style is the “Renkin Style”, though there are few details available about it at the moment. Supposedly it is intended for people who want to “vigorously enjoy hunting”.

Some other new details:

• The Meowstress’ little sister will appear in XX
• XX’s director is Daisuke Ichihara and the main planner is Takurou Hiraoka; both of them were planners on Generations. Generations’ director, Yasunori Ichinose, oversees the work flow and provides concept supervision for XX
• Balfark is an ancient dragon type monster that lives at a really high altitude. Both it and Ouma Diablos are connected to the main story
• Development on the game us currently 70% complete
