Update: This is also listed by Synnex (Nintendo distributor for North America).

Disney Art Academy could be in the works, based on a newly-discovered retailer listing. MacMall has reason to believe that the title is coming to 3DS.

Most of Nintendo’s Art Academy releases have been pretty traditional. But following Pokemon Art Academy, this would be the series’ second spin-off – assuming there’s truth to MacMall’s listing. We’ll let you know if we hear anything official.

Capcom has announced the inaugural “Capcom Live!” rockestral, a new concert world tour set to begin in March.

Here’s what fans can expect:

“At “CAPCOM LIVE!” attendees can enjoy live performances of game music from more than ten Capcom masterpieces dating from the 1980s up through the present day, all completely synchronized to HD visuals. In addition to the performance of “Video Game Orchestra”—a group that combines rock and orchestral music into “rockestral” concerts and boasts high notoriety in the US—the tour will pursue sophisticated entertainment via staging that weaves together visual effects and specialized lighting. This tour differs from events that have targeted only gamers by brining to life a forward-thinking musical project that can engage music fans and general audiences as well.”

Capcom Live! will begin next month in China – March 19 in Shanghai and March 26 in Beijing. Performances will also be held in North American cities like Boston on April 9, with plans to expand into other territories next year. The goal is to have more than 30 concerts across the globe in areas including Japan, Europe, Central and South America, and Asia.

By holding these concerts, Capcom hopes to “achieve greater penetration of its brands in the broadening global game market, including emerging nations.”

There’s a new Twilight Princess HD tweet up on the Japanese Zelda Twitter page. With today’s message, we get to hear a brief update from “Malo” about Poe Souls.

Here’s the full message:

“..It’s Malo. If you beat Poes who only appear at night, you can obtain the Poe Souls. Speaking of which, I heard someone in Castle Town has been wanting these… The number of spirits you’ve collected is recorded in the map on Wii U GamePad, so guys who tend to forget should be relieved too.”

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice was originally slated for Fall 2015. Last September though, SEGA ended up pushing the game back to sometime this year. We’ve yet to receive any news updates since then.

A photo taken at Tomy’s booth from the New York Toy Fair may have revealed an updated release window. If what’s mentioned by the toy manufacturer is accurate, we won’t be seeing Fire & Ice until sometime this fall.

That’s not all though. Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Wii U is rumored for June. And for those interested in the Sonic Boom cartoon, that’s apparently set to return this fall as well.
