Along with The Great Ace Attorney’s latest screenshots, Capcom sent out a few more details about the game. We have extra additional information about the investigation aspects. Find a roundup of the latest tidbits below.

– Examine, Move, Talk, and Present options
– Team up with Sherlock Holmes for “Joint Reasoning”
– Since Holmes’s perception is on a whole other level of a genius, he might occasionally miss things that are right in front of his face
– Ryunosuke will need to do his part and point it out whenever that happens
– “Examiner”: go around different areas and use a cursor to check to see if there’s anything that stands out
– After examining a spot or object, it’ll be marked with a check mark
– Can speak to people while examining
– “Move”: go from area to area
– Use “Move” once you’ve already explored an entire area
– “Talk”: question various people in the area
– You’ll have the option to choose from various topics in order to find out more from the characters
– “Present”: bring out evidence from your Court Record
– Use “Present” to acquire new information from the characters that might share more than they usually would without any triggering items

The Fire Emblem If news continues to roll right in. First up, we have a look at a new pre-paid card that can be used at all Seven & I Holdings-owned stores (Ito-Yokado and 7-Eleven) in Japan. The card will be included with the Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher), but will be limited in availability.

Next, we have another round of details about Fire Emblem If from Famitsu and Dengeki. You’ll find those below.

– Important note: Gunter’s “Great Butler” class was a typo and should be “Great Knight”
– Hidden Weapon can be equipped by both classes
– These sit alongside Lances in the revamped weapon triangle and are good against Swords and Magic, but weak against Axes and Bows
– Hidden Weapons can temporarily decrease enemy stats; are 1~2 range weapons as well
– Felicia (of the Maid class) is shown in one screenshot defeating enemies with an “Iron Hidden-Weapon” or healing with staves
– Butlers can equip Hidden Weapons and Staves too
– Maid (and Butler) seems to be a promoted class
– Ninjas are locked to Hidden Weapons, but they likely have better attacking abilities than Maids and Butlers
– The Ninjas (Suzukaze and apparently a Fuuma Soldier) are equipped with Iron and Steel Shurikens
– Steel Shurikens is the Hoshidan version of Hidden Weapons
– Suzukaze’s Iron Shuriken boosts his Speed by 2, while reducing his enemy’s Magic by 2, Defense by 3 and Resistance by 3 until the next turn
– The enemy’s Steel Shuriken also seems to boost Speed by some unknown amount
– Female Dark Mage called Nyx
– Nyx can equip Fire and Fimbulvetr tomes and can at least promote to a Sorcerer
– Classes apparently have a base stat for Luck
– The spell-casting effect no longer conjures Tellius’s ancient text, like it did in Awakening, instead summoning something closer to runes or European symbols
– Sakura is shown holding a “Spring Festival” healing baton in one Dengeki screenshot
– The Avatar seemingly doesn’t have access to his/her dragon-transforming ability all of the time
– Hoshido has an eastern-themed version of all of the present weapon types: Katana (Sword), Naginata (Lance), Mace (Axe) and Baton (Staff)

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. debuted in Japan last week. Sadly, it’s almost an understatement to say that it’s off to a very slow start.

As Media Create didn’t include Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. in its latest charts, it was an indication that the game sold under 2,000 units. This is something that Famitsu confirms with its own sales figures. According to the site, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. moved just 1,835 copies in Japan.
