Capcom Arcade Cabinet isn’t coming to the 3DS as far as we know, but the ESRB has been rating some of the collection’s games. Yet another release popped up on the site today – Gun.Smoke.

Are these just erroneous listings? Does Capcom simply plan on making these classic games available on the 3DS individually? Or might Capcom Arcade Cabinet be coming to the 3DS eShop one day?

Of course, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon will also be available as a retail release.

Developers have started to interact more with fans than ever before. There are outlets such as Twitter that allow for direct communication – something that wasn’t around in previous years.

Miiverse is another way for developers to stay in touch with consumers, and Two Tribes has plans to take advantage of the service.

When asked for Two Tribes’ thoughts on Miiverse, founder Collin van Ginkel praised the feature and noted that the studio plans “to be very active in the Toki Tori 2 community”.

“I think it’s the best gift I’ve received in years. It allows us to directly talk to our players through a home console, which has not ever been possible before. We expect to be very active in the Toki Tori 2 community when it launches.”

Thanks to Jürgen Chytry for the tip.

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D isn’t being made by Retro. Rather, Monster Games is handling the port. A rating on the OFLC lists the studio as the game’s author (or developer).

Monster Games’ previous work includes Excite Truck, Excitebots, and Pilotwings Resort.

A recent finding on LinkedIn indicated that Monster Games was making some sort of 3DS title. Based on the OFLC entry, it would appear that Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is the project in question.

The duration of Wii U’s load times has been a point of discussion since launch. One might be wondering: why weren’t these issues addressed before the console shipped?

Shigeru Miyamoto responded to this very question in a recent interview:
