Bandai Namco has revealed that Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy + is now available for Nintendo 3DS and can be played on both the 3DS and the New 3DS XL that was released today as well. With that said, the acclaimed original Nintendo 3DS game, Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy, has locked onto the upgrades that New Nintendo 3DS XL has to offer for an even more thrilling Ace Combat hand-held flight experience.

Set in an alternate-reality, Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy+ places players into the role of a fighter pilot on a string of missions to prevent the Usean government from spiraling into total collapse. Flight fanatics will be able to launch into campaigns featuring both aerial and ground attack missions and pilot powerful and famous aircraft to deftly complete each mission. Take control of the cockpit with the New Nintendo 3DS XL system's C Stick, super-stable 3D via face-tracking technology and ZL/ZR Buttons to maneuver through the skies and light up enemy aircraft standing in the way of victory.

Bandai Namco also had a special Nintendo collaboration, giving the aircraft a fantastic visual flair. You can shoot open iconic Question Blocks scattered around certain maps to collect the Super Star hidden inside and unlock a Nintendo-themed aircraft skin. The aircraft will feature Nintendo character favorite skins such as Donkey Kong, Peach, Mario, Luigi, Bowser and PAC-MAN. Avid collectors will also be able to enjoy collecting aircraft available through the amiibo functionality to pilot a host of amiibo-exclusive skins including Zelda, Star Fox, Captain Falcon, Samus and more.
