In Japan, Nintendo Badge Arcade has received a new patch. Version 1.3.1 is out now. As of this moment, I don’t believe it’s available in western territories.

As far as the patch goes, it doesn’t do a whole lot. Nintendo says that some problems have been fixed so that the game can be player more comfortably.

If there was an award for the most unlikely RPG revival of 2016, it’d have to go to Return to PopoloCrois. This series started out as a comic but became a cult classic game series in Japan thanks to a string of games on the original PlayStation. Now it returns for modern audiences, but Return to PopoloCrois is very much a return to the early days of 32-bit RPGs. It also brings in elements from the franchise formerly known as Harvest Moon, mixing the farming with a more traditional RPG experience. The two titles have a similarly peaceful pastoral setting (and apparently a large female fanbase in Japan) so it initially seems like a good mix, but unfortunately the gameplay side of things is a bit lacking.

Circle Entertainment has announced that its upcoming 3DS game, Toy Defense, will be arriving in both the North American and European eShop next week, on February 25th.
