Two versions of Beyblade: Evolution are in the works. You’ll be able to purchase the standalone game or a new collector’s edition version containing an exclusive, six-piece Beyblade Wing Pegasus 90WF toy previously unavailable outside of Japan.

Rising Star Games shared the following information about Beyblade: Evolution in its announcement today:

Developed to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS, BEYBLADE: Evolution lets players launch their in-game BEYBLADE, using the gyro and motion sensors and manipulating the viewing angle with the Augmented Reality camera for precise control and adjustment. Players engage in real-time multiplayer battles or follow the Story Mode campaign unlocking new parts and information to fine-tune their tops in the Bey Factory.

BEYBLADE: Evolution game play is an exciting take on the Metal Saga television series which has enjoyed monumental global success since its launch in 2010. Consumers will also now have an exclusive opportunity to unlock and view a sneak peek of the newest upcoming TV series BEYBLADE: Shogun Steel, which will feature the revolutionary new toy line by Hasbro. With a global release date of Fall 2013, this exciting and highly anticipated TV season introduces an entirely new generation of characters to fans apart from the Metal Saga series, showcasing an innovative storyline twist that highlights strategic warrior spirit battling.

Miiverse launched for the PC (and some mobile devices) today. It does offer a number of functions made available through Wii U, but there are some drawbacks.

You can make posts through Miiverse’s newly-launched browser interface. The thing is, you can’t actually create new ones. It’s only possible to make comments by replying to others.

On the bright side, Miiverse now allows you to view and grab screenshots posted in communities and save them to your PC – a convenient function.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said during a financial results briefing today that Miiverse is in beta for PC and mobile devices. Over time, we’ll likely see additional features added to the interface.
