Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale only just launched in Japan last month. Despite this, a new game in the series is seemingly in the works.

A fan in Japan picked up the strategy guide for Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale, which reveals that the franchise’s next game is already being made. It’s supposed to be like the 1998 PlayStation title Poporogue. Apparently, it’s also stated in the guide: “(The next game) has many new species”.

So that’s some interesting news. We don’t know if the new game will be on a Nintendo platform, but given how A Story of Seasons Fairytale is for 3DS, there’s a decent shot of it happening.

Rumors surfaced earlier today about the 3DS NFC accessory being potentially region locked. In an email sent to a customer, the retailer claimed that the Japanese product wouldn’t work on a North American system.

It turns out that Play-Asia was incorrect in this case. Someone put things to the test, and has shown the Japanese reader working with a North American 3DS. That should end all speculation!
