Hyrule Warriors 3DS may feature crossbow from female Link concept art
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 46 Comments
With the new version of Hyrule Warriors on 3DS, fans can expect some new content. We know that Nintendo and Koei Tecmo are introducing new characters, but there seems to be other additions as well.
Case and point: an interesting crossbow spotted in the 3DS debut trailer of Hyrule Warriors. What’s particularly interesting here is that the weapon appears to be very similar to what was shown in concept art for a female Link. This character, “Linkle”, never made it into the final version of Hyrule Warriors.
Is this indeed Linkle’s crossbow that we’re looking at? Could the character herself be included in Hyrule Warriors on 3DS?

Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 officially digital-only
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 5 Comments
When Koei Tecmo officially announced Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 for the west a few days ago, there was a hint that it would be a digital-only release. Based on the wording, it was unclear if that news only applied to the PS Vita version or both the 3DS and PS Vita versions. We now have the answer.
A graphic shared by Koei Tecmo’s Chin Soon Sun confirms that Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 is digital-only for both releases, which obviously includes 3DS. That’s a bit of a shame, but at least we’re getting the game overseas!

New Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Nobunaga’s Ambition games heading to 3DS
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Koei Tecmo is bringing two more games to the 3DS. Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 as well as Nobunaga’s Ambition DS are planned for the platform. Both games require some explanation.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2, despite the name, is a remake of Romance of the Three Kingdoms III – a game from the PC/Mega Drive/Super NES era. It features new scenarios, 100 new military commanders, and an editor that allows players to edit commanders and cities.
Nobunaga’s Ambition DS is a remake of the eighth title in the series, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Tales of the Storms. It’ll come with two new scenarios, 100 additional commanders, an easier-to-play interface, and eight more save slots. Making matters more confusing, the 3DS version will be called “Nobunaga’s Ambition 2”.
Koei Tecmo is bringing Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 and Nobunaga’s Ambition 2 to Japan on August 6. A Premium Box for Nobunaga’s Ambition 2 features the game, a soundtrack CD (26 tracks,) original micro-fiber cloth pouch, and special stickers for 6,800 yen plus tax. There’s also a Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 Premium Box planned, which includes the soundtrack CD, micro-fiber pouch, and a 30th anniversary sticker set. Consumers can purchase a twin pack containing both games for 8,800 yen, and also includes a pack of 12 poster cards for Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2.

Koei Tecmo talks a bit about Yo-Kai Sangokushi, strong Hyrule Warriors sales
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
During Level-5’s “Vision” event in March, a few new 3DS games were announced. One of these was Yo-Kai Sangokushi, which is a new collaboration title in partnership with Koei Tecmo.
This week’s issue of Famitsu has an interview with Koei Tecmo Games head Hisashi Koinuma. As expected, Yo-Kai Sangokushi was one of the things the magazine asked about.
Famitsu starts off by mentioning that he surprised by the fact that Yo-Kai Sangokushi is a collaborative title between Yo-Kai Watch and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This led Koinuma to say:
Romance of the Three Kingdoms has its 30th anniversary in 2015, so everyone in the company is excited. I think Yo-Kai Sangokushi is a fitting title to adorn the 30th anniversary. I’m especially happy that Level-5 president Akihiro Hino likes Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
