When Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure comes out later this summer, it will only be playable in English. But that could eventually change depending on how well the game does.

Mastiff said recently that a expansion pack could be made available for Gurumin 3D, which would add Japanese audio. It’s all dependent on performance/popularity/sales, according to the publisher. If Gurumin 3D takes off on the eShop, we’ll hopefully see Japanese voices at some point!

“Pixel Paint is an easily-to-use painting package that let’s players draw retro-style graphics from the classic days of video games. Using the stylus players can paint pixel-by-pixel making

New features for 3DS include a shape tool to draw circles, triangles, squares and lines, the ability to export images to an SD card as a .JPG file, and Easer.

Just like on Wii U, Pixel Paint will support the ability to upload and share drawings on Miiverse.

Axiom Verge still has a strong shot of landing on NX. On Twitter, the game’s official Twitter account mentioned that a port is “fairly likely”, though the lack of information about the system means it isn’t certain just yet.

The tweet reads:

The prospects of an Axiom Verge NX port first came about in April. It was said that a release for the new platform’s launch could be a possibility.

As we found out a few days ago, Axiom Verge is scheduled to hit Wii U on September 1. You’ll be able to grab the game as a digital download from the eShop on that date.

Thanks to Dry Bone Koopa for the tip.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE certainly had an interesting development cycle. At one point, it was considered for 3DS. The team also thought about various genres. But in the end, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE was made for Wii U as a mostly unique RPG that borrows some elements from Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei.

Going back well before development started, the game’s origins also have some ties to Pokemon, strangely enough. Nintendo director Hitoshi Yamagami revealed in a Nintendo Dream companion booklet at the end of last year that the company’s Kaori Ando “proposed a plan” that would have featured Pokemon and Fire Emblem. However, since a different proposal was floating around at the same time which would eventually become Pokemon Conquest, the idea was abandoned.

Here’s what Yamagami and Ando had to say about the situation, as translated by kantopia:
