WE'RE LIVE WITH RFN REACTION TO E3 2016

It's over! We'll have the full episode available soon!

With the arrival of E3, it's time for E3 reaction shows. In order to be as timely as possible, this year we decided to record our reaction show live. Starting tonight, at 9 PM Eastern, RFN will break down The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, like only they can.

It'd fit right in on the Sega Saturn.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix received its full North American debut today, and it's available for download right now.

The rhythm collection will be available only on the eShop for $29.99 US / $42.29 Canadian. No European release details are available. A demo will also be available on the eShop.

It's been three (thousand) years...

The long wait has about three months to go for Dragon Quest VII.

The remake of the 2001 PS1 title for 3DS will release in North America on September 16 according to updated information submitted by Nintendo following the game's E3 stream.

A long demanded remake, SquareEnix credited fan demand and petitions for the game's localization, including all of the game's party chat.

If you're not lucky, you can be charitable and get in early.

Capcom has announced the date for the Monster Hunter Generations demo, but you may be able to jump the queue.

The demo will go live for all users in the eShop on June 30, however "select 3DS users" will receive two demo codes by email that allow for early access. Another option for getting the demo early comes through Humble Bundle, as the site's E3 2016 Digital Ticket will contain an early code for anyone who gets in at the US$4 tier.

The producer/director is a RPG veteran.

Nintendo's new action RPG for 3DS has been announced, and it's from the veteran developers at Grezzo.

Ever Oasis is a game set in a barren desert that involves creating an oasis and fighting into dungeons to protect the village. During the Treehouse Live presentation, a three-member party was shown for dungeon exploration.

Because it's twice the box.

The further adventures of Boxboy (or Boxgirl) are coming to North America.

As well, Nintendo's schedule is promising that the new RPG game will be shown at 1:50 Eastern / 10:50 Pacific and it is a "action/adventure/RPG".

It'll be the closer for Treehouse Live

Tomorrow's Treehouse Live will get a little bit bigger, including yet another 3DS RPG.

A fatal four-way, one fall to a finish.

The rhythm title will debut this fall for Wii U and "all video game consoles", with a separate NX version launching next year. No new features were shown during the presentation, but the musical performance at Ubi's press conference was set to "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen.

The game makers are interested in using the console's special features too.
