This past week we found out about Mercenaries Saga 3, which lands on the Japanese 3DS eShop next week. Unsurprisingly, Circle Entertainment is localizing the game, and we might be seeing it very soon. The English version is almost ready to be submitted to Nintendo in both North America and Europe.

Aside from Mercenaries Saga 3, other Circle-published games are on the way. Mr. Pumpkin Adventure (Wii U) and Fairune 2 (3DS) should be out next month as well as ASH (3DS) for Europe.

It’s easy to forget that Nintendo wasn’t in the best position following the GameCube. It wasn’t one of the company’s better-performing systems, so all eyes were on the big N to see what they’d come up with next.

Nintendo promised a revolution with the Wii, and that’s arguably what we got. That turned out to be its best-selling console, and one of its best-selling gaming platforms as a whole. With the initial hysteria surrounding Wii, it was incredibly tough to find for a long time. Nintendo was also successful with its mission of connecting with casual gamers.
