With Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker set to be released in North America on May 5th Atlus USA has chosen today to announce what fans of the series can expect in the game regarding the 3DS’ StreetPass and SpotPass capabilities.

To sum things up quickly, StreetPassing people in Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker will provide various stat bonuses and skills while SpotPasses will add various new demons and skills to the game over a period of time that has yet to be determined. You can check out a more detailed explanation from Atlus USA below.

SpotPass
We’ll have several waves of SpotPass content rolling out once the game launches (schedule still TBD), but the immediate advantage will be a whole ton of new demons for players to fuse. So if you were looking for your precious Tyrant Lucifer Frost or Wilder Catoblepas, they’ll be rolling out to players via SpotPass. Another bonus going out via SpotPass will be some skill add-ons. One of the hallmarks of the Devil Summoner series is cracking skills that are assigned from a communal skill pool, meaning players can’t use the same skill on more than one character. Via SpotPass, players will be able to get a helpful magic skill, a powerful normal skill, and a recommended physical skill added to their skill pool. But that’s all we’re telling you about them!
StreetPass
When you StreetPass with other Demon Summoners, it will allow you to give various stat and skill bonuses to your own demons! But beware, the demon and the stat bonuses are chosen at random – use them wisely!

Fossil Fighters Frontier Gets a Very Loud Commercial

I liked Fossil Fighters. It wasn’t quite Pokemon or Digimon, but it still was kind of quirky and deep in its own weird way. Nintendo didn’t really find a huge audience for the franchise, but the games still sold well enough for a new sequel to come out on the 3DS.

Fossil Fighters Frontier features vehicles, but I assure you will know that for the rest of your life after watching the commercial. I don’t know if this wants to be a meme or is just over the top for the fun of it, but it will get your attention. Crank up your volume and brace the windows as you check out the new clip down below.

Just recently, we rolled out a review for Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, and it turned out to be quite an enjoyable Wii U release (check out review here). Many in Europe are probably hugging their Amiibos, waiting to join with their styluses ready, and thankfully – that will come soon as Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush (as its dubbed in the regions) will be out May 8th.

Down under in Australia and New Zealand? Well, you will be getting it just one day later on May 9th. This is honestly a lovely little title with a lot to it, and well with its asking price. There isn’t a lot coming out for the Wii U at this moment (sans digital releases), so those who want a great little game can mark their calenders today.

If you’re thinking “didn’t I just read this story” then you wouldn’t be alone because I’m thinking “didn’t I just write this story”. Yes, Project CARS is delayed again. The ultra realistic racing simulator will now release in mid May (no specific date given) for PC via Steam as well as Xbox One and PS4 in Australia and Europe. The release date prior to this change was April 2nd and before that March 20th and was originally slated to release in the first quarter of 2014.

Slightly Mad Studios and Bandai Namco had this to say on the newest delay:

““Despite our long heritage and pedigree in making critically-acclaimed racing games, Project CARS is by far the grandest and most intricately detailed of them all. Despite therefore the game being 99.9% complete, the remaining 0.1% attending to small issues and bugs has been tricky to anticipate. We’re absolutely dedicated to delivering a ground-breaking experience and by targeting mid-May fans can be assured that’s what they’ll receive” said Ian Bell, Head of Studio at Slightly Mad Studios. “Again, we want to thank our fans for their support and patience on this matter. There’s a high expectancy from racing fans around the world that Project CARS is going to be an exciting new contender in the simulation racing space and we firmly believe gamers deserve it to be in its most complete and polished state when they come to play it on day one.
And since the gaming community is our primary focus and has always been at the heart of the project during development, we would like to offer some free content to all players as compensation for this short delay and as acknowledgement of how grateful we are. This gift, that we’re sure is going to excite fans, will be available from day one and revealed shortly. Keep an eye on our website for more info.””.

Well at least the free content sounds good. We’re taking bets on if there will be another release date so let us know if you think their will be and how much your willing to bet in the comments below. A very talked down Wii U version should also be close to completion by this time but no release date has yet been given. You can check out our impressions of the game here. In other bad release date news today, Naughty Dog confirmed Uncharted 4 will not be released until 2016.

Sega and Game Freak Crossover Title Revealed as Tembo the Elephant

No you won’t see Pokemon invading Mobius or Sonic trying to outrun a Mega Pidgeot, Sega and Game Freak have announced their collaboration title as a brand new 2D fast paced action-platformer called Tembo The Badass Elephant. Now don’t sigh or groan yet, the game actually looks like it has some awesome potential with a fresh playable character that seems to be the elephant version of Rambo, great stylized graphics and gameplay reminiscent of the much loved Donkey Kong Country series.

Tembo The Badass Elephant was born from an idea by one of the art guys down at Game Freak while he was taking time away from Pokemon to work on his own project. This is a strictly single player experience and destruction of your environment will play a huge role as you destroy columns that can open up new pathways or ground pound through an entire building shattering all the windows on the way down. Users collect peanuts (similar to Bananas in DKC) to create peanut jars which are used as extra lives if you die and Tembo can rescue civilians to increase your score when you exit a level.

The game is coming out exclusively for PS4, Xbox One and PC during the Summer period in the U.S. In an interesting twist, despite both companies having excellent relationships with Nintendo, the game is seemingly skipping both of it’s major consoles in the Wii U and 3DS. You can watch the first trailer for the game below and let us know what you think about this interesting company crossover title in the comments below.
