While the SEGA 3D Classics Collection will be released on April 26th in North America, not every existing 3D Classic game will be included on the cartridge. You can, however, save money completing your collection as SEGA discounted the remaining titles on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Unfortunately 3D Sonic 2 has been excluded in the sale, but I’m confident SEGA will include it in a future Sonic franchise sale.
Atlus USA has announced that Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold will be released in North America on August 4th. Earlier on, we already posted the news on the European release date for the game, which is scheduled for February 12th. Along with the announcement, Atlus also posted a new video of the game, showing the game’s cooking feature. Using ingredients found in the game’s forest or monster ingredients obtained at the end of a battle, combined with recipes found on your adventures, you can create various dishes. Eating them may grant temporary buffs such as an increase of your resistance to poison. You can watch the video below.

It’s been a while since we’ve written about Etrian Odyssey II Untold, but the official Japanese website’s blog section for the game has received more frequent updates as of late. Some of these updates are quite extensive and talk about gameplay, while others highlight promotional activities for the game. Recent blog posts include pictures of promotional merchandise and a crossover promotion with the popular maid/culture cafe schatz-kiste, where Etrian Odyssey-themed items will be featured on their menu.
Anyway, Siliconera wrote an article recently detailing a blog post that showed off how some of the in-game menus look, and included some very short videos of the game’s Classic Mode from one of Atlus’s blog posts.
Siliconera’s article also touches on gameplay elements borrowed from Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth. Treasure chest icons featured on maps will change to reflect being opened. Another borrowed feature from Persona Q is the presence of a confirmation window to verify that the player is OK with initial commands issued during battle. This is a feature that can be turned off of the player chooses to do so.

It’s designed to be a low-difficulty setting for the game that you can choose once you start your playthrough, and in Picnic Mode enemies will deal lower damage than they do at standard difficulty. If your party is wiped out, you can also continue from that point instead of being forced to restart.
