Steel Diver: Sub Wars levels up to Version 3.0
Steel Diver: Sub War is seeing yet another update, one that adds a ton of new features and improvements to the game.
The update is of course free and applies changes to both versions of the game so if you haven’t bought the full game you’ll still see some changes.
The full changelog was posted on Miiverse, here it is in all its glory below.
[quote]In Version 3.0, you can set up Internet Battles with your Friends. This means as long as you have wireless internet access, you’ll be able to battle online with Friends you have registered on your Nintendo 3DS system, any time you want.
However, keep in mind that this is limited to Friends who own the Premium Version of the game. In addition, we’ll add two new stages exclusively for Local Wireless Battle to make this mode even more fun. You will be able to select these stages while playing Internet Battle with your Friends, too. We’re also working on adding subs that you can unlock by playing via local wireless a certain number of times.
The number of times you’ve played on local wireless in Version 2.0 will be carried over to Version 3.0, so if you have already met the required number of Local Wireless Battles, you may be able to unlock them right after you update. Once again, please be aware that these subs will be available only for owners of the Premium Version. We’re also planning to add eight new crew members, with various abilities such as launching mines while using the masker, and healing your allies. We’ve also made some other small tweaks.
Your allies will no longer take any damage if you accidentally attack them in battle, and you can use the +Control Pad to enter messages in Morse code. The in-game shop that was previously limited to Premium Version owners will now be accessible to players using the Free Version too. In addition, we’ll be reducing the number of play coins required to play Internet Battle using the Free Version from two coins to one. We’re currently working hard on Version 3.0 and aiming to release it sometime in August. Thank you for your continued support of Steel Diver: Sub Wars!

Who’s still playing this one? If you’re not is this the update that makes you jump into the Admirals chair?
“In addition, we’ll add two new stages exclusively for Local Wireless Battle to make this mode even more fun. You will be able to select these stages while playing Internet Battle with your Friends, too.”
Somehow I doubt Nintendo understands the word Exclusively.
Also the fact that the counter for the number of times you’ve used the Local Play mode carries over from v2.0 to v3.0 and that you effectively can unlock new stuff immediatly… kinda completely eliminates additional character growth for some players.
Yay for immediatly unlocking everything and having nothing new to look forward to!
