Circle Entertainment posted two concrete pieces of news on its Twitter account today. One concerns a title we haven’t heard before, while the other is about a release in one particular region.

Toy Defense is now confirmed to be coming to 3DS. It’s already done, and it’ll be launching soon. This is likely the tower defense game that hit mobile platforms several months ago.

Circle Entertainment also confirmed today that The Legend of Dark Witch 2 is approved in Europe, and should be available next month. It’s accompanied by several 3DS themes.

Lastly, we also have a small tease Circle Entertainment. The publisher mentioned is will release a “Japanese adventure story game”, which is already approved by Nintendo in North America.

A new Japanese adventure story game has been approved lotcheck by NOA, hope to see NOE approve it soon.:p

The upcoming release of the first generation of Pokemon games on the 3DS Virtual Console is highly anticipated by tons of people. The Japanese digital manual for these games is now online and has revealed some interesting tidbits about these versions.

Interestingly, Pokemon Red, Blue, Green (Japan-only) and Yellow don’t support the Virtual Console’s “restore points” feature. In case you didn’t know, this feature lets you create a save point at any time and load it whenever you wish, regardless of any in-game save features or restrictions. This is a pretty convenient feature since saving your game is usually fairly restrictive in older games. One can only speculate why this feature won’t be available in the Pokemon games, however it seems likely that it is in place to essentially prevent the cloning of Pokemon. When you trade Pokemon the game automatically saves to prevent any shenanigans – with restore points, this could’ve easily been circumvented.

You may remember Rynn’s Adventure: Trouble in the Enchanted Forest, an indie platformer we brought up last April. It was planned for launch in Fall 2015 at the time, but those plans changed as we all now know.

Development on Rynn’s Adventure: Trouble in the Enchanted Forest is now complete. At the moment, Arcane Four Studios is working on certification to bring it to Wii U and Xbox One. The 3DS version will follow at a later date.

Watch a new trailer for Rynn’s Adventure: Trouble in the Enchanted Forest below.
