Bases Loaded 2016 is in the works for 3DS, this week’s issue of Famitsu reveals. Mebius is leading the way on the project.

Bases Loaded 2016 seems to retain the 8-bit graphics that the 1987 game is known for. However, it will have new features like supporting versus through local play. You’ll also be able to create your own athlete and team. The athlete’s name, uniform, hairstyle, and stats can be freely edited.

Bases Loaded 2016 launches later this year in Japan as an eShop download. It should cost 864 yen.

Full scan can be found after the break.

In Japan, One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum is out now, and that means footage is starting to surface. View the 2D fighter’s opening below.

Capcom has been announcing collaborations left and right for Monster Hunter Stories. Today, a partnership was unveiled with the Japanese publication Dengeki.

In the game, players will be able to obtain a weapon: sword and shield Inazuma Works, which will be upgraded to Ikazuchi Works when maxed out. A Nabiru costume as the Dengeki Politan will also be available as post-release DLC.
