'Unchained Blades' coming to 3DS eShop via XSEED
This is going to sound pretty weird, because it involves clues to something you likely don't remember or know. The short version: Nintendo Power's table of contents reveals a game called "Unchained Blades" for 3DS, as a download.The long version: this is the reveal of something publisher XSEED was cryptically teasing yesterday, with a series of images on Twitter including a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a blade of grass, and a still from Ghost's famous pottery wheel scene. And now you're confused.It's now clear that the clues refer to the dungeon crawler released in Japan as UnchainBlades Rexx. (get it: "Unchained" Melody plus "blade" of grass plus T. "Rex.") It was a retail game over there, but being in Nintendo Power's "Download" section suggests that XSEED is improving the distribution method along with the name.
Japanese artists collaborate for 3DS/PSP monster RPG (with monstrous name)
Everything about the new 3DS/PSP RPG from publisher FuRyu, revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu, sounds great. It's got a quality cast of developers behind it, including Shining Force EXA/Cross scenario writer Takashi Hino, illustrators from the Idolm@ster and Dream Club series, Lunar: The Silver Star writer Toshio Akashi, and even a theme song by Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu. The game has an interesting premise, too: It's set in a world where humanoid children grow up into monsters -- exhibiting more monster-like abilities as they mature -- and in which a young prince attempts to regain his true dragon strength at the bottom of a huge dungeon. The battle system allows each party member to gather up to five monsters and chain attacks together. Sounds great, right? Well, everything about it except the name: UnchainBlades ReXX. We had to put that at the end so you'd read the post before recoiling from your computer.
