Famitsu has more coverage of Shin Megami Tensei IV Final this week. In the latest issue, we get a look at three more characters from different factions that will be partner characters. The image above has a first look at “Hallelujah” from the Ashura-kai, “Toki” from Ring of Gaea, and “Gaston” who is a Samurai.

Get a closer look at the three characters in the video below.

We also have these details from the videos:

– Gaston is the one in white
– He is actually Navarre’s younger brother
– Hallelujah (in the yellow jacket) points out that his personality and the way he talks is exactly the same
– Gaston doesn’t take too kindly to those remarks, and denies that he ever had a brother
– He says “no such blood runs in his veins”
– Gaston is shown not trusting Toki, who says that she has the same objective as the others, and has no intention of going against them as an enemy

When Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 originally came out on the Game Boy Advance, it supported Nintendo’s old e-Reader device. Players could scan e-Cards to add in various content, including levels.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 is set to launch on the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console next week. Fortunately, it will be possible to access e-Reader levels. It seems that these can be accessed on the data select screen. Of course, the e-Reader device itself is not compatible.
