FuRyu is working on another Japanese Doraemon game for 3DS. Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan, based on the upcoming movie of the same name, is slated for March 3.

Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan is a “Primeval Life Adventure”. The single-player game lets players take control of five characters: Doraemon, Nobita, Gian, Suneo, and Shizuka. Adventuring in the world of 7,0000 years ago, using Doraemon’s secret tools, you can fight against enemies and wild beasts, cook, and decorate your room. Appearances of the antagonist “Immortal Spirit King” Gigazombie, as well as the “Great Spirit King” Dorazombie are also confirmed.

Check out some screenshots from Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan below. A teaser site is located here.

GameStop has significant savings on its exclusive Zelda statues. We’re not sure how long the sale will last, but the Skyward Sword Link statue is down to $29.99 from $79.99. The Scervo statue has also been reduced from $124.99 to $49.99.

Another Nintendo sale comes from Amazon rather than GameStop.
Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival is now at its lowest price, as you can purchase a copy for $40 rather than $60.
