In Chase: Cold Case Investigations – Distant Memories, players follow two detectives named Shounosuke Nanase and Koto Amekura. New information on a five-year-old explosion has appeared, suggesting the incident was a murder and not an unfortunate accident. Players will need to investigate evidence collected five years ago to find new leads, then bring in people to interrogate them. However, going astray during questioning can cause the Interrogation Gauge to deplete and the game to end.

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo unlocked a treasure trove of information for its portable Nintendo 3DSsystem today. In a Nintendo Direct video, Nintendo discussed more than a dozen games for the system, including a StreetPass Mii Plaza update and some Nintendo eShop exclusives that launch today. Among the highlights were a portable Super Mario Maker game launching this year, Pikmin and Yoshi’s Woolly World games launching in 2017, and a newly announced Mario Sports Superstars game for 2017. Nintendo also revealed awesome new amiibo figures for Yoshi’s Woolly World on Nintendo 3DS and The Legend of Zelda, as well as a new set of amiibo cards for Animal Crossing fans.

 “After emerging as the best-selling video game system in the United States in July, Nintendo 3DS has clear momentum going into the fall, the holiday season and 2017,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “With so much news about the system hitting at once, everyone should find something to love. If you haven’t already, it’s a great time to jump into the fun of Nintendo 3DS.”

Pikmin for Nintendo 3DS (name not final):

A new side-scrolling Pikmin adventure game unlike Pikmin games of the past is coming to Nintendo 3DS. Pikmin follow Olimar around, and players tap the touch screen where they want to throw them. This is designed as an action game that makes players think fast and use every Pikmin to overcome anything that stands in their way. The game is scheduled to launch in 2017.
