This riveting flight simulation action game was originally released in 2011 on Nintendo 3DS and is back to leverage the special features of the New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL hardware!

Combined with the new and added features of the New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL, Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy+ will allow players to finally play Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacythe way it was intended. The new C Stick, and ZL/ZR buttons will allow for better control and handling of the aircraft’s movement and weaponry! On top of that, players will enjoy amazing Nintendo aircraft skins to take-on their enemies!

Players will feel the thrill of piloting ultra-realistic aircrafts as they fly fearlessly into the heat of battle at Mach speed. Fierce military operations are deployed on maps where players can fly in 360 degrees to position behind enemies, evade enemy gunfire and engage in heart-pounding dogfights above land and sea.

Real-life aircrafts have been colorfully coated with charming Nintendo character skins for the Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy+flight simulator game on the 3DS and New 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.

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!
