The European boxart is in for Hey! Pikmin. We’ve gone ahead and attached it above.

You’ll notice that Europe’s packaging image than the one planned for North America. Here’s the one we’re getting stateside to compare:

Level-5 previously confirmed Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy for the west following the original announcement of Lady Layton last year. Today, the company announced that it will launch on 3DS this fall in overseas territories.

To clarify, Layton’s Mystery Journey will first be seeing a worldwide release on iOS and Android on July 20 with support for eight languages. Japan is also receiving the 3DS version on the same day, but other territories will need to wait a bit longer.

Here’s an overview of the game:

A quick update on Hey! Pikmin: we now know that the 2D Pikmin spin-off game is being developed by Arzest. Nintendo themselves have not released that information yet – we know that because the game recently received an age rating in Australia (G – General, suitable for everyone) and Arzest was listed as the developer.

Arzest have previously worked on Yoshi’s New Island and the 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Following last week’s Nintendo Direct, Level-5 uploaded an updated version of its Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and The Millionaire’s Conspiracy trailer. It’s actually almost identical to the original announcement back when it was known as Lady Layton, but now’s a good as time as any for a refresher.
