The first 3DS game to make use of paid downloadable content will be Fire Emblem, according to Nikkei. The site states that Nintendo is looking toward March 2012 to begin paid DLC, which likely means that Fire Emblem will be released during the same month. Players will be able to use credit cards or prepaid cards to purchase new items.

As far as third-parties go, publishers will be able to incorporate paid downloadable content in Summer 2012.

Wii U will also be getting its own share of paid downloadable content, though further details were not provided.

We may hear more about Nintendo’s future DLC plans and Fire Emblem 3DS during the Nintendo Direct presentation later today.

The L.A. Times has a new interview up with Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto was asked to comment on his original “retirement” comments for the umpteenth time, and he apologized for any misunderstanding.

Besides this, there are some other interesting remarks included inside of the interview. Miyamoto is asked about his favorite Nintendo characters (he has a difficult time choosing just one), his influences, and more.

Head past the break for his responses.

Famitsu reports today that the 3DS has surpassed the four million units sold mark in Japan. It was widely expected that Nintendo’s handheld would reach this goal before the end of the year.

According to Enterbrain data, the 3DS sold a whopping 510,629 units between December 19 and December 25. This is the best-selling week for the portable thus far. Life-to-date 3DS sales in Japan are now at 4,135,739 units sold.

Update: I realize now that the folks handling ArtePiazza’s Twitter account may have been joking around. Just goes to show how I little I pay attention to April Fools’ Day!

Surely some of you remember Opoona. It was made for Wii a few years ago, and it was developed by ArtePiazza, the company behind the DS Dragon Quest ports.

If I’m remembering correctly, Opoona did not sell well in Japan. I wouldn’t be surprised if it it sold even worse in North America. But despite poor sales and a mixed critical reception, ArtePiazza is apparently working on a sequel.

Now, bear with me here since my understanding of Japanese is on the level of a 2-year-old child.

Someone on Twitter told ArtePiazza that they want Opoona 3DS as a Christmas present. Responding to this, the company seemed to say that this person should wait until April 1. This gives me the impression that some sort of reveal, which could be Opoona 3DS, is coming in a few months. We’ll see what happens!
