Capcom announced last week that the company is making a game that uses Japanese IC Cards. Thanks to Famitsu, we now know that the project is called “Megami Meguri”.

– Amaterasu (voiced by Yuka Ozaki): A goddess who trains goddesses, and will accompany players on their journey as Tsukumo’s guide to becoming a full-fledged goddess
– Tsukumo will raise various questions to the player
– When this happens, you can teach her words that she might not know, which she’ll and use in the following conversation
– The variations in your conversations with Tsukumo will increase when new words are learned
– Uses “Megami Speak Engine”
– This was made as a collaboration between Toshiba and Capcom
– The engine uses a synthetic voice that sounds close to a natural voice
– Tsukumo is fully voiced to say any word that the player inputs
– Read a player’s IC card and new conversations can be triggered

Artdink published A-Train 3D back in 2014 in Japan. Last year, Natsume localized the game for North America and Europe. Now Artink is developing a new version.

A-Train 3D Neo (or perhaps we should call it A-Train 3D: City Simulator Neo) is coming to Japan on December 1. Other than the regular package at 4,860 yen, there will be also a “Beginner’s Pack” that comes with an official guidebook priced at 5,378 yen.

A-Train 3D Neo improves upon features from the vanilla version. Additionally, the eight extra scenarios that were offered as paid DLC will be included here. Compatibility with data from the vanilla version is planned as well.
