Amazon has discounted a few first-party 3DS games by $5. You can grab Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and New Super Mario Bros. 2 for $25 each. I imagine these deals will be valid for about a week.

Further comments have emerged regarding the potential localization of Dragon Quest VII for 3DS.

In an interview with USgamer, Square Enix’s Yuu Miyake revealed that the company had given up on the idea at one point. However, based on interest from fans, Square Enix is now “trying to rethink this, to see if there’s any way to make this more feasible.”

Miyake said:

This petition came from France, written in Japanese, asking, ‘Is there any way you would consider it?’ We hear the fans, and we’re paying attention. We had actually given up on the idea of localization altogether, but because there’s such a great response we’re trying to rethink this, to see if there’s any way to make this more feasible. We’re recalculating, and figuring out the costs necessary. Trying to work out the details.

In an article in this week’s Famitsu, a new partnership between PoPoLoCrois and Harvest Moon was announced.

PoPoLoCrois was a very popular manga series in Japan, and with this new partnership we will see a combination of two worlds which will be titled PoPoLoCrois Farm Story. The game will include many characters from the PoPoLoCrois series, and will see the return of protagonist Prince Pietro.

More information should be leaking out over the next few days.

Today Sakurai talks a little bit about All-Star mode for the 3DS, which looks like it will be a little bit more dynamic than in previous entries:

In these battles, multiple opponents appear in one stage, and you clear the battle by defeating a number of them. The rest area that appears between battles displays the next opponents and the year the characters made their first appearances, and it also holds recovery items and an occasional reward. The characters you fight against appear pretty much in chronological order. Behold, the history of Nintendo games!!

Final Fantasy Explorers director Atsushi Hashimoto and project manager Takahiro Abe shared more details about the game during a live stream event last week. Read on below for a summary of what was revealed (as translated by Siliconera).

– When you’re not in combat and the battle theme isn’t playing, your health will regenerate rapidly
– This means you’ll only need to worry about using potions in battle
-In addition to the Provoke move that comes in handy for managing hate as a tank, they’ll also have the Flash ability
– This will work similarly as the way it does in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
– Can pick between auto-saves and manual saves
– Acquire Abilities at the crystal in the middle of town
– Purchase abilities with CP points earned while going on quests
– You won’t be able to learn too many at once, as Abilities will be something you’ll work on over time
– Regarding Abilities that you can learn from other classes, or cross-class skills, you won’t be able to use every single skill from all the Jobs
– For the most part, you’ll be able to learn them as long as they make sense for your Job in some way
– Ex: Dark Knights will be able to learn various Black Mage spells
– Can have White Mages that don’t really heal as much, instead but specialize in damaging opponents
– Clearing quests takes about 20 minutes on average
– During the fight against Ifrit, the Ranger used her Trance mode, then followed by the “Legend Character” transformation and turned into Cloud, who used a bow instead of his regular Buster Sword
– Trance mode and transforming into a Legendary Character aren’t exactly the same thing
– Trance more is more of a power-up
– In order to go Trance mode, there’s an indicator on the top-left part of the screen that will show you when it will be possible to transform, which happens after defeating a certain amount of enemies
– Game has a system that lets you break parts off boss monsters to acquire material to create gear, or something else
