The first word of 3D Shinobi III’s existence was recently leaked through a PEGI listing. Today, SEGA has made it official.

3D Shinobi III is due out on the Japanese 3DS eShop next week for 600 yen. In Japan, the SEGA Genesis game is known as “The Super Shinobi II”.

You likely know what to expect with this one: stereoscopic 3D, the ability to save at any point, and operate display and sound settings. Players can also switch to the western version, though it’s pretty much the same aside from English text.

News leaking out of this week’s Famitsu reveals that Monster Hunter Frontier G is in development for the Wii U and PlayStation 3. The PS3 version will release first on November 20, followed by Wii U on December 11.

Monster Hunter Frontier G may ring a bell for some. The game originally hit Japanese Xbox 360 and PC systems earlier this year.

The new versions’ content is identical to the previous release. PS3 and Wii U will both be receiving a “Beginner’s Pack” (packaged with armor and weapons), priced at 6,090 yen with a monthly fee of 1,400 yen. There will also be a free downloadable version. A free trial period will also be made available to players one week prior to the game’s official launch.

On Wii U, Frontier G will allow for display switching to the GamePad. It won’t be compatible with the nunchuck, but the Pro Controller will be supported. Capcom has yet to confirm if there will be any 3DS functionality. Likewise, it isn’t clear if the PS3 version will support trophies.

In the past, Shigeru Miyamoto has mentioned how he has been working on Pikmin “cartoons”. These videos never emerged, but they do seem to still be in the works – or at least something in the animation department is.

Miyamoto recently spoke with Japanese publication 4Gamer and discussed the “Pikmin anime” he’s been working on. Surprisingly, he mentioned: “The truth is for the past two years, I’ve been spending more time on the Pikmin anime than the game.”

Miyamoto said the following regarding the Pikmin anime:

“To that end I am currently working on putting all the elements that can’t be conveyed only by a game together in one package and am experimenting with making a Pikmin anime. The truth is for the past two years, I’ve been spending more time on the Pikmin anime than the game. (laughs) We’d like people to develop a more fond connection with the Pikmin themselves. In fact, at last year’s E3 many of the Pikmin things we passed around were made from elements we used for the Pikmin anime. Furthermore, since December of last year at Toho Cinema movie theaters there are Pikmin in the logo shown before movies. Even during the parts where they ask people to please put on their 3D glasses, there are Bulborbs running around. These are one piece of the things we’ve done in preparation for the anime.”

Regarding its availability, Nintendo is currently “considering how to release it.”

Some European Wii U owners purchasing Pikmin 3 from GAME were able to receive the download version a few days early. However, upon initial inspection, it appeared that Nintendo Network Premium points were not being provided. There was also concern that by obtaining Pikmin 3 before its official launch, such users wouldn’t be eligible for the 30% discount on digital copies of The Wonderful 101.

Nintendo has now stepped in and clarified the situation. Even if you downloaded Pikmin 3 early, you’ll be eligible for The Wonderful 101 promotion. The Nintendo Network Premium points situation is also being looked into, but it sounds like that also won’t be an issue.

Nintendo’s official statement reads:

Nintendo has approved Scirra for Wii U development, the company announced on Facebook today.

Scirra’s first order of business will be with regard to Construct 2. Sometime in the future, the engine will gain a Wii U exporter – meaning even more projects will be possible for the system.
