Capcom accidentally leaked Ace Attorney 5’s release date through a blog post. Famitsu this week confirms the game’s expected launch: July 25, 2013.

Those who purchase the game early – by August 15 – will be able to download free DLC costumes. The first provides Phoenix Wright with his attire from the first three games. Kokone will receive a Japanese school outfit while Apollo gets new clothing created by Kazura Nuri.

Famitsu also introduces a new prosecutor this week, but we’re waiting on more specific details about the character to leak from the magazine.


SEGA is working on a follow-up to Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai. This week’s Famitsu reveals that a direct sequel, appropriately titled Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai 2, is heading to Japan this fall.

Three songs have been confirmed for Project Mirai 2 thus far including Yume Yume from the original 3DS title, Do Re Mi Fa Rondo, and Koneko No Paya Paya.

Actual gameplay details leaking from Famitsu are minimal thus far. We do know that there will be some kind of mode that places emphasis on the touch screen. There will, of course, still be traditional rhythm button gameplay.



A new teaser site has launched for Puzzle & Dragons Z. Access it here.

This is about a “teaserish” as you can get. There’s literally nothing to see on the site as present aside from a logo.


The Japanese launch of Cardfight!! Vanguard: Ride to Victory has been less than smooth. Users have been complaining of game crashes and other issues.

Furyu is, thankfully, working on a fix. The company is planning on publishing an update in the near future, but an exact date for its release has not yet been determined.


Nintendo Everything reader Cameron Thomas has brought an interesting retailer finding to our attention. UK outlet ShopTo is listing the “Animal Crossing Limited Edition Console Bundle 3DS” on its website with a release date of June 14 – the same day Animal Crossing: New Leaf launches in Europe.

ShopTo mentions that Animal Crossing is pre-installed on the  system. A small box shot of the Japanese 3DS Animal Crossing bundle is included on the product page, too.

Could Nintendo be gearing up for a western Animal Crossing 3DS bundle announcement? One would assume that it’s the same product that Japan received last year. Perhaps we’ll hear something during this week’s Nintendo Direct…
