The Seven Deadly Sins: Unjust Sin - Coming To The 3DS Via The Boar Hat Express!


The once noble Holy Knights now terrify the populous - can Meliodas gather the sins together and protect a princess's determination? Regardless of the outcome, he will fulfill his promises in The Seven Deadly Sins: Unjust Sin

NANATSU NO TAIZAI: SHINJITSU NO ENZAI
Nintendo 3DS™ [Action Adventure] JPN Release: Feb 11, 2015

With 5 million plus volumes in circulation and a recent anime series broadcast in Japan, Nanatso No Taizai, aka The Seven Deadly Sins, now has a game in the works for all fans to enjoy.
Nanatsu No Taizai: Shinjitsu No Enzai, or The Seven Deadly Sins: Unjust Sins, is based on a brand new story under the guidance of series author Nakaba Suzuki; in keeping with the authenticity and feel of the series, Suzuki-San will also have a hand in drawing all the in-game illustrations as well.
As an action adventure game, players will embark from the Boar Hat Bar, which serves as a hub for questing, customization, and character strengthening; more features will be unlocked as players recruit more characters within the game.
While the main characters will of course be Meliodas, support characters include series staples like Hawk, King, Elizabeth, Diane, Ban, and Growther; depending on which character is chosen as a support, various combos with character specific super moves can be executed to take down any foe - tag team gameplay is the key to winning.
There is a lot of emphasis on exploration as well - by using the mobile Boar Hat Bar, discover hidden secrets and important materials for extended character growth; familiar locations like the Lyonesse Vicinity, Dalmally Village, and the foreboding Baste Dungeon are several of the stages one can expect to see.
As an added bonus, as the voice actor for Meliodas is the same as Eren Jaeger from Attack on Titan, Melodias will have a recon corps outfit included in the game!
This offering of anime/manga goodness from Bandai Namco Entertainment is slated for February 11, 2015!

Etrian Odyssey goes Rogue in Mystery Dungeon for 3DS!


Etrian Odyssey is getting the Spike Chunsoft Mystery Dungeon treatment! Play as characters from the Etrian Odyssey games in a rogue-like dungeon RPG!

ETRIAN MYSTERY DUNGEON
Nintendo 3DS™ [Turn Based, Dungeon RPG, Rogue-like]

If you are unfamiliar with the Mystery Dungeon series the basic formula is adding the characters from a popular franchise into a game built around exploring a dungeon with randomly generated layouts and fighting other characters via turn-based combat. Every time players perform an action such as attacking or walking, the opponents will also take action.
Five known classes will be available in Etrian Mystery Dungeon, each taken from the Etrian Odyssey universe to fit into your standard RPG roles. Players will be able to enter dungeons with four different classes.
First up are the Protectors, the paladins and tanks of the Etrian Odyssey world, who's ability to take large amounts of damage and disrupt enemies positions is unrivaled.
Next up are the Landsknecht, who make their appearance in the game as damage powerhouses with the ability to rush into battle. Although still fighting in close quarters the Landsknecht is not a very effective tank.
Runemasters are the ranged casters, able to deal direct damage from afar or apply ailements and debuffs to your enemies. Your magic-user is a bit of a wuss though, as she won't be survive long unprotected.
Medics are your staple healers and will be required to keep your party healthy! They can heal up all the party members in the area as well as cure any afflications. Medics can dish out some afflictions of their own, but with limited effectiveness.
The latest addition to the roster is the 'Furai', or 'Wanderer' class which looks like it is heavily influenced by Shiren The Wanderer, an original character from the Mystery Dungeon series.

Etrian Mystery Dungeon Nintendo 3DS US  US$ 39.99 pre

God Eater 2: Rage Burst - new characters, new story, new gameplay for PS4/PSV!


GOD EATER 2: RAGE BURST
PlayStation®Vita PlayStation®4 [Action]
God Eater 2 being upgraded for the PS4 and PSV means technical improvements will be added to improve immersion like high definition visuals, 5.1 surround sound, and support for the DualShock4 speakers. Of course it doesn't end there, as Bandai Namco have put out multiple press releases detailing some of the finer changes to gameplay and story!
The original story that was present in God Eater 2 will see new content in the form of added missions and cutscenes, providing more depth to the plot. The story will be a 'condensed' version - what that exactly means is still up for speculation.
The new story content in God Eater 2: Rage Burst takes place within the 'Spiral Tree', a host to a bunch of different area types. The members of 'Blood' are tasked with reclaiming these areas one by one as they make their way up to the top levels. The Outer Edges are bathed in soft sunlight, which contrasts with the Bottom Level which seems to be almost diseased. As your climb higher the layers become less natural, with the Middle Layer being a place of desolation.
Returning in Rage Burst are Survival Missions that players can partake in, particularly throughout the Spiral Tree. Survival Missions in Rage Burst have a stat called 'Endurance' that is applied to every member in your combat party.
As far as stats go Endurance is pretty important because as characters are downed and have to be respawned, they’ll be taken out of battle completely if their Endurance drops too low. If you let the Endurance of the player-character drop too low then it is game over!
Brand new for Rage Burst are 'Camping Scenes' that take place between fights where players can prepare for future battles, as well as catch glimpses of the cast doing various activities as they take a break. Despite the resting implications of the Camping Scenes players will not be able to replenish items.
Along with new missions comes the Personal Abilities gameplay system, a new way for players to have more control over the NPC allies! Players can spend their Ability Points, earned on missions, on unlocking these new Personal Abilities which consist of new skills or buffs to existing attributes.
Save data can be transferred over from God Eater 2 to Rage Burst although some equipment will be replaced with items that have equivalent stats. Save data from the PS Vita version of the game is able to imported into either the PS Vita version of Rage Burst or the PS4 version. However, save data from the PSP version can only be imported into the PS Vita version of Rage Burst.
