Bandai Namco has confirmed that Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy + (try saying that three times as fast) will be leaving the hanger just in time for the New 3DS launch in both North America and Europe.
On February 13th the game -- which is an updated of the existing Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy -- will be released alongside Nintendo's new console, offering amiibo support which allows players to unlock aircraft skins by tapping their figures on the console's lower screen.
The game is also playable on older 3DS models, but you'll naturally have to wait until Nintendo releases the amiibo portal to get your hands on those themed planes.

I'm really excited about this. I loved the original Ace Combat 2, when I heard about this remake getting a update in Japan I didn't expect it in the west, especially not this soon. Great news!
Need to get the Fox amiibo to fly that plane!
Hmmmmnm the only Ace Combat I played is a demo on PS3, I may give this one a shot
Yessssss, Have Mario and Bowser Amiibo's on the way !
@XFsWorld Assault Horizon on PS3 is completely different. That is a reboot and completely different from the other AC games. This, despite the name similarity to the PS3 title, is a remake of Ace Combat 2.
Seems like they didn't really add anything other than amiibo support, better 3D, and extra button support (which the original Japanese version already had).
So basically no point in buying this if you already have the original release. That's really too bad, I would've like online multiplayer and a free flight mode.
Looks interesting!!
i get the original used instead
I have the original version of this... it's OK, haven't played much, but it got great review. I wish I could just buy a 'plus' DLC pack instead of buying the whole game again though.
2015 going to be an expensive year
Welp time to redo my budget.
I thought the ps3 assault horizon catered a bit too much to dudebros that play cod all the time, but I still enjoyed it.
Woo! Top Gun reference
Its mainly the ability to have the rudder and throttle controls on the shoulder buttons that sells it for me rather than having rudder on the d-pad.
I'm not sure if Cross Rumble had that in Japan (did the Circle Pad Pro give you extra shoulder buttons I honestly can't remember.
Either way, buying on release day.
Loved the first one (got it second hand, so not too bothered about it being a remake). My New Nintendo 3DS is ready!
why not add more aircraft, or even a helicopter campagin?.
@Damo Bonus points for the Top Gun reference.
@Wes880 Glad it was appreciated
