Monster Hunter 3G and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim were among last week’s big releases in Japan, and Konami slipped out a magical Magician’s Quest game on DS.

Metal Max 3 takes place after Metal Max 2, but we’ll ignore that fact for a moment because Kadokawa Games created a neat feature that connects the two Nintendo DS titles.

The Metal Max series takes place in a wasteland where players guide a group of soldiers, hunters, mechanics, artists, wrestlers, or nurses. You also have a dog, Pochi, on your team who is a NPC, but still joins battles.

Those are some of the classes in Metal Max 2 Reloaded, a Nintendo DS remake of Data East’s post-apocalyptic RPG.

Using Metal Max 3 as a base, Kadokawa Games is making a remake of the Super Nintendo game Metal Max 2.

The Mad Max inspired RPG series is back with another game. Metal Max 2 Reloaded is in development, according to this week’s round of magazine leaks.
