Today, Zen United has confirmed a special “Life and Hometown” edition for Senran Kagura Burst. Consumers who purchase the package will receive a copy of the game, A3 3D lenticular poster, and a unique t-shirt.

The Life and Hometown edition for Senran Kagura Burst will be sold on FunStock. Pricing is set at £49.99. Only 500 copies will be produced, so it sounds like this could end up being pretty limited.

Heads up, European 3DS owners. If you plan on purchasing Inazuma Eleven 3: Team Ogre Attacks on the eShop, you’ll need to reserve over 13,000 blocks of space. Far from the biggest 3DS game, but still a heavy amount.

Dr. Mario is seeing a release on the Wii U Virtual Console… eventually. Nintendo of Europe has a dedicated page up for the game, but with a “TBD” release date. I assume we’ll be seeing it on the eShop sooner rather than later though!

Thanks to Brandon for the tip.
