Namco Bandai is preparing a special limited edition release of Project X Zone, and it won’t cost fans anything extra.

Those who pre-order or purchase Project X Zone at launch will automatically receive Project X Zone Limited Edition. It includes “a mini-art book and poster featuring the characters and famous gaming franchises represented in the game and a music CD featuring the high tempo music featured in Project X Zone.” Namco Bandai doesn’t actually say how limited the package is, strangely.

Project X Zone will be available in North America on June 25 and Europe on July 5. You can guarantee yourself a copy of the limited edition by pre-ordering here.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch launched in North America and Europe earlier this year. To be clear, this was the PlayStation 3 game – the DS version never made it overseas, in part due to the lengthy book that accompanied the game’s original release in Japan.

You may remember that Ni no Kuni originally started out on the DS before the PS3. Given that, could a follow-up or some kind of port for the 3DS be in the cards?

One Namco Bandai exectuive wouldn’t rule out the possibility when asked by Pocket Gamer. However, in order for something like this to happen, fans would need to show interest.

Ace Attorney 5 will launch in Japan on July 25. Announcing the game’s release date out-of-the-blue wasn’t intentional – Capcom let the news accidentally slip through a blog post covering an upcoming event in Japan.

In any case, now we know that Ace Attorney 5 is just a few months away. Capcom needs to hurry up and announce an overseas release date!

The Iwata Asks: Animal Crossing: New Leaf discussion is finally available in English. It was originally published when the game launched in Japan last year, so we’ve been waiting quite some time for a translation.

You can find the full interview here. The six-page talk is filled with Animal Crossing: New Leaf goodness with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, Koji Takahashi, Isao Moro, and Aya Kyogoku.

An extensive update is now available for Swapnote in North America. The upgrade was made available in Europe last week.

By applying the update, users will receive access to the following features:

– Take photos and record sounds you want to attach to your letters from within the software. You can still add them from the SD Card.
– Attach photos and sounds when you reply to letters.
– Choose a different ink color for each page.
– Filter letters by sender in the letter list.

I personally haven’t touched Swapnote in a looooong time, so this may be the motivation I need to boot up the app once again!

Thanks to Xan Grimo for the tip.

The latest 3DS update may have been more significant than originally thought. After applying the update, it seems as though some software have seen a performance boost.

Rayman 3D and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed are two big names that are being thrown around as running much smoother. Mii Plaza is supposedly better off now as well.

Is this something that anyone else has noticed?
