After announcing Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII with Power-Up Kit for Switch last week, Koei Tecmo has dated the game for Japan. It’s due out on March 30 for 9,800 yen.

On Switch, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII with Power-Up Kit features a new officer creation feature using the Joy-Con controllers’ motion IR camera. When pointing the motion IR camera towards a target, officers will be born based on things such as the target’s form and feel. The Switch version also has touch-based controls. Players can use the large screen to zoom in, zoom out, and swipe, move units during battle, and activate officer strategies.

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World launches very soon, though Nintendo hasn’t forgotten about the original game on Wii U. Today, an update was released in Japan to add in Poochy amiibo compatibility. Poochy appears in the game when you scan the plushie.

The update, set at version 1.1.0, does not appear to be live in North America or Europe yet. It should be up closer to the western release date of Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World.
