Update: I realize now that the folks handling ArtePiazza’s Twitter account may have been joking around. Just goes to show how I little I pay attention to April Fools’ Day!

Surely some of you remember Opoona. It was made for Wii a few years ago, and it was developed by ArtePiazza, the company behind the DS Dragon Quest ports.

If I’m remembering correctly, Opoona did not sell well in Japan. I wouldn’t be surprised if it it sold even worse in North America. But despite poor sales and a mixed critical reception, ArtePiazza is apparently working on a sequel.

Now, bear with me here since my understanding of Japanese is on the level of a 2-year-old child.

Someone on Twitter told ArtePiazza that they want Opoona 3DS as a Christmas present. Responding to this, the company seemed to say that this person should wait until April 1. This gives me the impression that some sort of reveal, which could be Opoona 3DS, is coming in a few months. We’ll see what happens!

Aside from the new downloadable games being offered on Club Nintendo, there aren’t a whole lot of rewards that I’ve been interested in. Recently, though, Nintendo added in a poster set for Zelda’s 25th anniversary, and all three items look quite nice. Two of the posters are hand-drawn, and all three are fairly large – they each measure 22” X 28″.

Since supplies are fairly limited, you may want to consider ordering one on Club Nintendo now. Just make sure you have 400 points ready!

You might be curious about the card sizes 3DS games use. Thus far, we’ve seen software run on cards as low as 128 megabytes or as high as 2 gigabytes. In the future, we know that some games will be crammed into 4 gigabyte cards.

A listing of various titles and their card sizes can be found after the break. Some of the results may surprise you!

Nintendo will be holding a second “Nintendo Direct” presentation to close out 2011. Some Japanese fans have spotted the company’s updated UStream page, which states that the event will be held on Tuesday. Similar to the presentation back in October, the latest Nintendo Direct is scheduled for Tuesday at 12 PM in Japan, which is Monday at 10 PM EDT / 7 PM EDT.

It’s unclear if the new presentation will be filled with announcements, though Nintendo did share some pretty substantial news in October. Lost Heroes, 3D Classics: Kid Icarus, and other titles for the handheld were revealed throughout the event.

You can keep track of Nintendo’s UStream page here.
