XSEED is handling Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale in North America. In PAL regions, it looks like that responsibility will fall with Marvelous.

A rating has popped up in the Australia ratings database for Return to PopoloCrois, and Marvelous is listed as the game’s publisher. We haven’t seen an official announcement yet, but this should mean that the title will be heading to Europe and Australia next year in addition to North America.

Famitsu has published a brief article about Hyrule Warriors Legends for its magazine coverage this week. In it, we learn about two new elements in the game.

First up, Hyrule Warriors Legends will have a “My Fairy” system. Famitsu doesn’t go in-depth about this, but indicates that it’ll be used to help players. Also confirmed is a new Great Sea map in Adventure Mode.

Expect more details about both of these items when Famitsu releases tomorrow.
