Level-5 hopes to ship four games for the 3DS in 2012. The company is preparing Fantasy Life, Girls’ RPG: Cinderella Life, Time Travelers, and Guild 01 before the end of the year.

Girls’ RPG: Cinderella Life comes out in Japan on March 8. Level-5 hasn’t announced launch dates for the rest of the titles as of yet. They’ll likely spread out the releases over the next twelve months.

Zoom.in has published a new video interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, and it contains some juicy tidbits. He discusses the retirement situation (yet again), how he’s jealous about video game characters being able to outlive us, his lack of interest in making photo-realistic games, and the pressure he faces due to expectations.


Nintendo of America has posted the English version of the first Super Mario 3D Land tips/tricks video. It’s essentially the same clip as the Japanese video, but it’s certainly worth watching it again!


Ikari no Yousai 2 will be released in Japan on January 11 for 400 yen.


European 3DS owners who registered two eligible products on Club Nintendo can obtain their free copy of 3D Classics: Kid Icarus. An email with a download code should arrive in your inbox shortly if it hasn’t already.

3D Classics: Kid Icarus will be offered at a later date to all eShop users. It’ll cost £5.40 / €6.00 once the Club Nintendo promotion ends.

There are some new updates available for a variety of eShop downloads. 3DS users can download new versions of Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Pushmo, 3D Classics: Kirby’s Adventure, and Netflix.

There isn’t any sort of changelog, so it’s anybody’s guess what these updates actually do. However, I’m guessing that they’re relatively minor.
