Splatoon is such a huge hit, especially in Japan, that it doesn’t come as a huge surprise that Nintendo is taking advantage of the popularity of the IP. As such, a Splatoon manga will soon be released in Japan. It will be published in the bi-monthly manga magazine Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic starting in April.
Shin Megami Tensei IV Final gets first review in Famitsu
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 8 Comments
In a recent issue, Famitsu published one of the first Shin Megami Tensei IV Final reviews. From four editors the RPG received scores of “9”, “9”, “8”, and “9”. That amounts to a total of 35 out of 40.
I do think we’ll be seeing Shin Megami Tensei IV Final in the west eventually. But since it’ll be awhile before that happens, we’ve gone ahead and translated Famitsu’s full review. It’ll give you some idea as to how it’s being received in Japan thus far from one outlet. Overall, the consensus seems to be that it’s easier to get into that its predecessor.
Head past the break for our full translation.

New Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages details
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
This week, Famitsu has its second article on Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages.
First, here are some details about some of the characters in the game:
– Bride and groom candidates from Tsuyukusa Village are Kasumi and Yuzuki
– Carey and Brad are a married couple
– These two are in charge of the Garden Grill restaurant in Wes Town
– Marco is Brad’s grandfather
– He previously owned the restaurant
– Also loves fishing
There will be plenty to do in Westown, one of the three main areas in the game. The Postino post office lets you send mail to villagers and family in the city, a mining spot exists to nab ore, and fish.
Famitsu also talks about Power Circles. Players can place these objects in the field to give certain benefits to surrounding crops. Crops affected by Power Circles will turn blue when placed.
Power Circles can have a number of different effects. Famitsu mentions these three examples:
– Cactus: Raise crops’ sweetness
– Flower Wheelbarrow: Raise crops’ color
– Flower Fountain: Raise crops’ humidity
Part-time jobs are also something Famitsu mentions in its article. Players can take these on to earn more cash, and some even provide extra items and improve relationships. Interestingly, jobs will have different contents each time. You’ll take on activities like cutting down wood and delivering mail.

CoroCoro magazine’s next issue is publishing February 15th(Monday) in Japan and it will carry some major news. The trailer that was released for the issue shows the cover which has a dark silhouette of Magiana which is a brand new Pokemon. Hopefully this means that the magazine will have some more details to share about the new Pokemon because we know nothing about it so far.
