Circle Entertainment said it was localizing Gourmet Dream back in October. The game is now set for release this Thursday in North America with a $5 price point.

Here’s an overview from Nintendo’s website:

“Gourmet Dream is a management game in which you take up the role of a restaurant manager and help your shop to grow.

The aim of the game is to help your restaurant flourish until it is evaluated as an “S Rank” restaurant.

In order to do this, you will have to create a menu to suit your customer’s needs, hire and train staff that provide great food and service, and run promotions to increase the number of customers that come to your restaurant. In essence, you will be raising your store into a ‘Highly Esteemed Gourmet Restaurant’.”

We don’t have a date yet, but Gourmet Dream should also be heading to Europe sometime soon.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional is an updated version of the 3DS game that launched in Japan earlier this year. Today, Square Enix shared information about some of the new features.

First, a drone has now been added to the Reactor device, which can freely explore the field. When activated, the player can stay still while the drone moves to explore far away places or even surprise monsters. Drones can reach places that not even rideable monsters can reach such as high places or small holes. It can also get balls of light floating in the air. Some rare treasure boxes can only be reached by exploring every corner. Drones can also startle enemies that may drop items when they flee.

In Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional, it’s possible to ride huge monsters. The difference with normal-sized monsters that you can ride is that the new kind has a special attack that can instantly wipe out weaker enemies.

Finally, there are special balls of light in the air. If the player touches them, the player and rideable monster will be encased in a special aura. With this, even small monsters can beat enemies with a ride attack.
