Surprise, surprise! Another Doraemon game is planned for 3DS.

Amazon has a listing up for Doraemon: Nobita’s Space Heroes, a galactic defense adventure game based on the upcoming movie. Players will clear numerous missions by using secret tools and more. Doraemon, Nobita, Gain, Suneo and Shizuka are included. There are also six mini-games and the ability to take photographs.

Doraemon: Nobita’s Space Heroes will be released on March 5 in Japan – two days before the movie.

A few rumors have circulated as of late that some of the amiibo figures have been discontinued. Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, and Villager are three amiibo in particular that some have been worried about.

The recent concern appears to have been for naught, as Nintendo of America’s assistant PR manager David Young says that the company hasn’t discontinued any figures. View his full response above.

In a new Bloomberg report, it’s stated that eight analysts have raised profit estimates or ratings for Nintendo since September. The two most recent ones have called for profits to triple to 36.8 billion yen.

Tomoaki Kawasaki, an analyst from Iwai Cosmo Securities Co., said:

“Nintendo has picked up good momentum heading into the Christmas season. This time they have a hit lineup. Amiibo represents a new revenue source, and we are watching it very closely.”

Ace Research analyst Hideki Yasuda also stated:

“Last year was just a bad year for the game business, and this year is a recovery. Add to that Amiibo, and you’re likely to see a considerable improvement in earnings.”

Bloomberg goes on to say that Nintendo expects to take in $1 billion from amiibo sales in the U.S. alone. This figure has come in to question and some believe that the outlet intended to refer to yen instead. In any case, things are looking up for Nintendo.

Update: Now over, but you can find the full replay below.

This week’s Discussing Everything will kick off momentarily – roughly 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT. I imagine Zelda Wii U will be the big topic today, though there could be discussion about Mario Maker, Captain Toad, and other random things.

Note that you can log in with Facebook/Twitter, but these are optional. You can choose a random username as well!

The New 3DS contains a neat little built-in features when it comes to 3D videos. It’s now possible to upload videos directly to YouTube by visiting youtube.com/upload.

With older 3DS models, users were required to transfer files from an SD card. As you can see, the process is much simpler now.
