Nintendo released official videos for Yoshi’s Story and Shining Soul on the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console. Watch them below.

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.

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.

Information coming out of this month’s CoroCoro reveals that an anime based on Puzzle & Dragons X is in the works. The series will begin airing this summer. Along with an anime, a manga adaptation from Momota Inoue is in the works, which will debut in CoroCoro’s May issue (shipping in April).

As far as the game goes, Puzzle & Dragons X will be available in Japan this summer. Two versions are planned: “Kami no Sh?” (God Chapter) and “Ry? no Sh?” (Dragon Chapter). Puzzle & Dragons X’s theme is “evolution” and will also feature cooperative play with friends in a cross battle. The game’s protagonist is Ace and his partner Tamaz?. Staff behind the anime will also animate the game’s opening anime.
