This month’s issue of CoroCoro has leaked, but it sadly doesn’t contain any screenshots or additional news about Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. However, the magazine does promise new content for its June issue, which will be available on June 14. I imagine we’ll be seeing some of CoroCoro’s reveals at E3 next month as well.

A 3DS puzzle for Kirby Triple Deluxe landed in North America about a week ago. This same download has now reached Europe. If you haven’t already, you should soon be receiving a SpotPass notification along with the first piece.

USGamer spoke with “one high-level localization specialist” in light of the controversy surrounding Tomodachi Life. For those unaware, some gamers have taken dissatisfaction in the fact that the game does not support same-sex relationships.

USGamer first asked its source about how much freedom Nintendo of America has in this situation, and whether NCL would have acquiesced to NoA deciding to add in same-sex relationships.

“On the one hand, it’s tempting to say ‘yes,’ because Nintendo of America enjoys one of the healthiest relationships in the business with its parent company when it comes to localization. No one else has the leeway to make sweeping changes like this one. The US version of Animal Crossing has added Western holidays, events, and items; the main character of Rusty’s Big Deal Baseball got a complete makeover for the US version; and even Tomodachi Life already has a number of non-trivial changes to the US release, which Nintendo has boasted about elsewhere. In an industry where it can be almost impossible just to get the original developers to add proper support for plural cases, NOA was in a better position than anyone to push for same-sex relationships in the game.”
