Yoichi Wada became Square Enix’s president in 2000 and has held onto the position for well over a decade. But today, Wada announced that he will be stepping down. Yosuke Matsuda, Square Enix’s former company director and CFO, will be assuming Wada’s position. The decision may very well be set in stone once Square Enix’s annual shareholders meeting wraps up in June, followed by a board of directors meeting.

In addition to Wada’s surprise announcement, Square Enix slashed its fiscal year forecasts due to “the rapidly changing environment of the game businesses.” An “extraordinary” ¥10 billion ($106 million) loss will impact the company’s development policy, organizational structure, and business models. Initially, Square Enix forecasted a net profit of ¥3.5 billion. It is now anticipating a net loss of ¥13 billion. That’s a significant downturn from the ¥6 billion net profit Square Enix achieved in the previous fiscal year.

Game sales overseas – described as “sluggish” – are to blame for Square Enix’s disappointing sales results. The publisher suffered from losses stemming from “the increasingly difficult condition of the worldwide console game market.”

Initial teases from Atlus suggested that a new Etrian Odyssey game would be revealed in this week’s Famitsu. Based on initial leaks, it appears that the magazine has unveiled “Etrian Odyssey: Millenium Girl”. Like Etrian Odyssey IV, Millenium Girl is in the works for the 3DS.

Information beyond a name and release date – it’s coming out in Japan on June 27 – have not yet surfaced. We’ll bring you details as we get them.

Update: Harvest Moon deal is gone.

A few of the Ace Attorney games have apparently been re-printed. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney are all in stock on Amazon for $20. Justice for All is missing, unfortunately – it’s my personal favorite!

Amazon is also running a few discounts on Nintendo games. These include:

Scribblenauts Unlimited (3DS) – $19.99 (temporarily out of stock, can still place an order)
Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning – $19.99 (temporarily out of stock, can still place an order)
Assassin’s Creed III – $29.99

Update: Nintendo’s Japanese site has the details. Firmware 5.0.0-11 provides the following (translation via):

?Improves the convenience of the Nintendo eShop
You can now ‘Download Later’ via Spotpass while running the Nintendo eShop in sleep mode.
You can now download updates using ‘Download Later’.
?Support for Save Data Transfer Tool
?Improving System Stability and Convenience

Nintendo has prepared a new firmware update for the 3DS. Either the company’s servers or extremely slow or the file size is large – it’s taking a heck of a long time to download.

At the moment, it’s unknown what exactly the upgrade does. If we receive any details, we’ll have them right here.

Any in case you’re wondering: no firmware update for the Wii U at present.
