Kuroko's Basketball 3DS Game's 2nd Promo, Gameplay Video Posted

The official website for Bandai Namco Games' upcoming Kuroko no Basuke: Mirai e no Kizuna (Kuroko's Basketball : Ties of the Future) Nintendo 3DS game began streaming the game's second full promotional video on Sunday. The video previews some of the game's mechanics, including the ability to wander the town, recruit members, play matches, and change events depending on which character is in the player's party. It also teases some of the events in the story.

Bandai Namco Games also began streaming a gameplay video for the game on Sunday. The video shows the difference of the CPU behavior and reaction speed between "Easy" and "Hard" difficulty levels.

Bandai Namco Games began streaming the game's first promotional video on December 21, and began streaming a gameplay video showing the character scouting mechanics on February 8.

The game will ship on March 26 for 5,690 yen (about US$48). First copies of the game will come bundled with a "Dramatic Sound Novel" titled "Teikō Junior High: A Miraculous Day," as well as a download code to receive a "Teikō Junior High Uniform" costume. The game will be the third Kuroko's Basketball game released for a portable gaming system.

Unlike the previous 3DS game, the new one lets players move characters freely around the court. Characters are bigger onscreen, and the power of special moves has been increased. The game will also offer a part where characters can go around town to chat and deal with game-original events.

The first portable Kuroko's Basketball game, Kuroko no Basket: Kiseki no Game (Kuroko's Basketball: Miraculous Game), debuted on the PSP in 2012. The second game, Kuroko no Basuke -Shōri e no Kiseki- (Kuroko's Basketball -The Path to Victory-), shipped for the 3DS on February 2013.
