Yesterday, Aksys Games revealed at Anime Expo that the company is localizing Chase: Cold Case Investigations. That wasn’t the only 3DS announcement made at the panel though. Aksys is also planning on bringing over the sequel to Ninja Usagimaru: The Gem of Blessings.

The first Ninja Usagimaru launched in North America and Europe last year. It has players going through various levels and rescuing villagers in various levels by overcoming traps and gimmicks. The new game builds on the foundation of the original.

Here’s a Japanese trailer for the game:

The new Ninja Usagimaru will be released on the eShop this fall.

The last Splatfest will be held around the world beginning on July 22 for a full two days. Players are being asked to choose between the two Squid Sisters: Callie or Marie.
