Mario Golf: World Tour is due out sometime between Q2 and Q3 2013. When exactly it will be launching is unclear at present.

GameFly has, at least, offered one possible date: August 25. The retailer’s listing could be the real deal based on accurate leaks in the past. We’ll just have to wait and see!

Taking its place aside Lost Planet 3, Monster Hunter 4 is poised for a massive marketing push and support in the west as Capcom plans on having it and the aforementioned sci-fi shooter hold up the company into the coming fiscal year. We saw something vaguely similar happen with Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii which sold fairly well for what it was, but I’d wonder if the more “core” orientation of the 3DS will help out Monster Hunter 4 where the third couldn’t gain traction.

With official backing from Nintendo, Marvelous AQL created “Pokemon Tretta” for the Japanese arcades. It has players collecting different “Tretta” – take a look above for some examples.

What exactly is Pokemon Tretta, you ask? In it, players scan different Tretta into the machine, call out the appropriate Pokemon, and then engage in a 3-on-3 battle. Those who win receive new Tretta.

Pokemon Tretta is now making its way to the 3DS. Marvelous AQL has been put in charge of the project once again. Each copy will come with a Tretta reader device.

Pokémon Tretta Lab for 3DS is due out on August 10th for 3,800 yen.
