Mixi has once again sent out new assets pertaining to Monster Strike on 3DS. We’ve rounded up the latest screenshots in the gallery below.

Shin Megami Tensei IV Final was once again shown during a live stream earlier today. Plenty of footage was shown, including a new animation. Check out the videos below.

Atlus also confirmed that a soundtrack for Shin Megami Tensei IV Final is on the way, though specifics haven’t been revealed. Those in Japan will also have an opportunity to go hands on with the title for over two hours towards the end of January.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam launched in Japan on December 3. During its first few days on the market, the game sold just under 50,000 units (a double pack containing Mario Kart 7 moved another 2,400 copies). Media Create indicates that it sold through just 17.97 percent of its initial shipment.

The sales tracker further points to the game’s slow start by comparing Paper Jam’s debut to two other Mario RPGs on 3DS. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team sold 100,000 copies back in July 2013 with a 25.49 percent sell-through while Paper Mario: Sticker Star launched in December 2012 with initial sales of 129,000 units and a sell through of 33.42 percent.
