Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 31 Comments
Shin Megami Tensei IV Final is coming to 3DS, Atlus has revealed. The game will be released in Japan on February 10 for 6,480 yen.
Teasers from Atlus today suggested that this would be a new version of Shin Megami Tensei IV, but that’s not the case. Famitsu, which has full coverage of the game this week, says it’s an entirely new project set in the same world. “Godslayer” is said to be a keyword.
Atlus is planning a Niconico stream for October 11, which will be held at 7 PM Japan time. Since it’s covered in this week’s Famitsu though, we should be getting information within a day or two. You can find the teaser site here.

Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon sold through 61% of its initial Japanese shipment
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon debuted in Japan on September 17. During its first few days on the market (about half a week), the game sold 152,000 copies. Sales tracker Media Create reports that Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon saw a sell-through rate of 61.09 percent.
Compared to previous Mystery Dungeon titles, the new 3DS game performed better than Gates to Infinity. That game released in November 2012, and sold 121,000 copies for a 34.31 sell-through of initial stock.
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon had 94,000 pre-orders, which was around the same range as the previous entry (95,000 pre-orders), showing the series has the loyal support of long time fans. Also, judging by the lack of growth in 3DS sales, Media Create believes it can be assumed that the majority of the userbase already had the system before the game came out as opposed to buying it for the game.

Monster Hunter X – Tamamitsune screenshots
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Screenshots | 0 comments
Capcom prepared an official set of screenshots from Monster Hunter X today. The images include the Nyanter Mode which we previously covered as well as Tamamitsune, one of the four main monsters. You can find all of the images below, along with a single shot of Keiryuu (mountain stream area).
Tamamitsune is an agile creature who can use the “Water Breath” attack, which gives players a status ailment. This covers the hunter’s body in foam, causing them to slip and slide on the ground.

Project X Zone 2 demo reaches Japan on October 9
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
We don’t post too much about Japanese demos these days, but the one for Project X Zone 2 may have some relevance overseas. After all, we did receive a couple of demos for the original game here in the west.
Bandai Namco is releasing a Project X Zone 2 demo on the Japanese eShop on October 9. It features the game’s opening stages, and for each round cleared, players will receive an “Early Play Benefit Item” for use in the retail version. We’ll probably be seeing the demo in North America and Europe closer to launch.
