Nintendo has released several new 3DS themes in Japan including one for its Nyannyan Neko Mario Time show. You can get a look at the new set below. They’re all out in Japan now!

Youkai Watch 2 has been a massive success in Japan having sold nearly three million units. The game’s third version, Shinuchi, is also expected to sell a ton.

Media Create mentions in its latest report that pre-orders of Shinuchi reached 231,000 copies in just two weeks. Reservations for the game are in line with Youkai Watch 2’s previous versions. That’s quite impressive, especially given how pre-orders for Shinuchi began later than the first two Youkai Watch 2 titles.

Even if you’ve cleared the Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire demo numerous times, you may not have experienced everything it has to offer. A secret mission has been discovered that seems to activate by chance. There aren’t any extra rewards for completing the mission, but it’s something special to try out.

Serebii posted an overview of the mission, which you can find below.

Famitsu posted a report about the Pikmin short films and Shigeru Miyamoto’s appearance at the Tokyo International Film Festival. Read on below for a summary of what was shared, courtesy of NeoGAF’s “StreetsAhead”.

-The films were screened in 3D at the event.
-The films are ‘Late-Night Juice’ (2 mins), ‘The Treasure Inside The Bottle’ (8 mins), and ‘The Rough Day’ (13 mins).
-Miyamoto showed off some of the storyboards he made in Flipnote 3D at the event.
-He joked that with the time he put in making these short films he probably could have made about 2 games.
-He was reticent to use the Rock Pikmin idea at first, but with the mechanic involing breaking glass/crystal in the game came to the conclusion that rocks breaking it would be easiest to convey.
-Rock (and probably Flying) Pikmin don’t appear in the films since they were made at the same time as Pikmin 3 and they hadn’t finalized everything about those types yet.
-He mentioned that he’s working on the Star Fox game for Wii U.
-They’d like to release the Pikmin 3 demo on Wii U and the films on the 3DS at the same time.
