Over the past couple of years, there’s been a lot of talk about Shigeru Miyamoto’s retirement. Miyamoto himself has confirmed a few times before that he’s already transferred some of his duties to younger staff and has looked to prepare Nintendo for the day when he isn’t around.

When the topic of retirement came up once again while talking with Rolling Stone, Miyamoto delivered an interesting response. Miyamoto said that he’s still enjoying what he does and “this is something that I can still continue to do for a long time.” He added: “You know, possibly until I die.”

Good news for fans of the Umihara Kawase series: the latest entry won’t be staying in Japan. Developer Agatsuma Entertainment has confirmed plans to bring the 3DS game overseas.

Agatsuma general manager Rica Kuno Matsumara said:

“Yes, we are planning to release [Farewell Umihara Kawase] in future, but not fixed anything yet. Maybe we will discuss during E3 with other new titles?”

Code of Princess made it to North America through Atlus. Maybe the two companies could work together for Umihara Kawase?

Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training will not be available this week in Europe, as previously announced. Nintendo confirmed the delay today in an official statement.

The company said:

“Nintendo has made the decision to push back the launch date of Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training: Can You Stay Focused? for Nintendo 3DS to optimise the best possible launch timing of this title within the European market. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and we hope to announce a new launch date soon.”

Rumors regarding a delay first appeared when Nintendo of Europe’s official product page listed a “TBD” date for the title. UK retailer GAME also included a strange September mention.

Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training is out now in North America, where it launched as “Brain Age: Concentration Game”. The game arrived back in February.
