From the Press Release
Real-life aircrafts have been colorfully coated with charming Nintendo character skins for the ACE COMBAT ASSAULT HORIZON LEGACY+ flight simulator game on the Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL! A close collaboration between Ace Combat and Nintendo brings to fans visually delightful aerial combat as they will be able to cut through the skies while flaunting fresh paint to represent their favorite Nintendo characters like Samus, Captain Falcon, Bowser … and even Pac-Man!
Ace Combat pilots will be able to place their amiibo on the New Nintendo 3DS XL to unlock exclusive aircraft skins tied to the same amiibo character, and today BANDAI NAMCO Games America has revealed new screenshots of the various character skins waiting to be unlocked when the game launches on February 13th, 2015.
Not only will each aircraft be able to visually feature character-themed skins, but the character will also determine parameter settings for the aircraft. The iconic Mario will be tied to the F-22, which is one of the most famous and powerful aircrafts in modern time and is well-balanced for both aerial and ground attacks. Mario’s eternal rival, Bowser, will be collaborated with the A-10A, which is most powerful aircraft for ground attack. Durability and offensive power will be increased to shape Bowser’s aircraft into a formidable aerial tank!
Control the skies when ACE COMBAT ASSAULT HORIZON LEGACY+ releases in the Americas on February 13th, 2015 for the New Nintendo 3DS XL. For more information on BANDAI NAMCO Games America Inc. game titles and products, please visit http://bandainamcogames.com
