According to the latest Nintendo statement on Japanese sales data, Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Youkai Watch 2, Monster Hunter 4G and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS have all sold over two million units each in Japan over the last two months. That these four titles sold so well is hardly surprising, but the numbers show that the 3DS is now the first console to have four games selling over the two million mark in the domestic market. At the company’s last financial results briefing President Satoru Iwata claimed that the console would have four two-million-sellers during this period and it looks like he was proven correct. So is Iwata psychic? Probably not, but congratulations on the sales anyway.

The sequel to Square-Enix’s “Bravely Default” now has a concrete release date in Japan – the 23rd of April, 2015. The company also provided a look at the RPG’s fancy collectors edition, which will be out on the same day for 14,800 yen exclusively on Square-Enix’s “e-Store”. This pack includes a figure of Bravely Default heroine Agnes, a mini soundtrack, a copy of “U’s Journal”, rubber strap of Magnolia and the book BRAVELY DEFAULT 200 Years Later: ~ Vestal of Wind: Edea Oblige ~. Alternatively, if you don’t want to spend that much, the standard game will set you back 5,980 yen. Additionally, there are several retailer-specific preorder bonuses for the game, although these are limited to in-game weapons. We’re still holding out for an English release of the game to be announced, but even if it does make it over it’s hard to imagine Square-Enix or Nintendo releasing such a lavish special edition.

An exploit was recently released for the 3DS that allows the system to run fan-made homebrew. All of the work is done through the game Cubic Ninja, which is now naturally in high demand.

Nintendo just launched a new 3DS update tonight. As a result, it’s only to be expected that many are wondering if homebrew is affected. The short answer is yes.

Today’s firmware is said to address one of the later stage exploits in Cubic Ninja. Two exploits still work apparently, though 3DS owners who are interested in homebrew may want to hold off on updating their system.

Nintendo has released firmware version 9.3.0-21 for the 3DS. There have been improvements to system stability, but this update does bring about a few features as well.

First, there is now a “Shuffle Favorites” feature for 3DS themes. It’s possible to choose multiple themes and have their theme change when the system is left in Sleep Mode or turned on after being turned off. Updates for software can also be downloaded from the Home Menu, and screenshots can be captured with both the upper and lower screens included.

Read on below for the official update notes from Nintendo.
