Three more Japanese commercials have come in for Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. Check them out below.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Dragon Quest VIII remains at number one, and Monster Hunter X is following right behind.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between July 30 and August 5.

Update: (8/23): Bumped to the top. Miller has now posted another tweet saying that he has “no idea” if Layton will be in Smash Bros.

Original (8/22): In July, the IMDB page for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS was edited to include Christopher Robin Miller. This is the voice actor behind Professor Layton in the English version of the games. A couple of weeks back, a fan asked if the listing was true, which he denied.

Another fan once again asked Miller on Twitter today about being credited on IMDB for playing Professor Layton in Smash Bros. Interestingly, he indicated this time around that he did actually voice lines for the games.

There could be a few things going on here. Perhaps Miller has his wires crossed, and he’s incorrectly thinking that he voiced lines for Professor Layton in Smash Bros. Or maybe he’s joking. Another possibility, while it would be somewhat surprising due to the nature of NDAs, is that Miller let some information slip. What do you guys think?

SEGA brought a demo of Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX to the 3DS eShop this past week. You can find a few videos of the download below.

Famitsu has a two-page feature on Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash this week. The Japanese magazine touches on a couple of familiar things, but also presents new information.

In terms of the premise, Chibi-Robo and its partner robot Tonpi see in the news that resources have gone missing in various areas around the world. The two end up encountering an alien and pursue it thinking that this is the culprit.

One of the big hooks in Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash is the ability to use Chibi-Robo’s plug and cord in side-scrolling stages. Players will be able to throw the cord in two ways: quick throw or power throw. By collecting blue and red balls, the cord can be extended. It can also be attached into an orange panel and then jump from place to place by shaking the cord.

The team behind Mega Man Legacy Collection considered including Wily & Right’s RockBoard: That’s Paradise – a Japan-exclusive title from the Famicom days – in the digital package. That’s according to Capcom’s Rey Jiminez and Digital Eclipse’s Frank Cifaldi, who divulged the nugget of information in an interview with USgamer.

Take a look at this excerpt from the discussion:

USG: It also makes sense from a tech perspective to just go with the NES games because they’re the same hardware being reproduced. I know it’s not emulation, technically, but it’s working to the same spec. Did you consider throwing in [Japan-only Famicom game] RockBoard as a sort of bonus, given that it’s the odd one out on the same technology or platform?

Rey: The answer isn’t no. We definitely had thought about it, but there wasn’t really a way for that to fit in for us, especially since it was in Japanese, right? So…

Frank: We even looked at translating it, if I could speak to that for a second.

Rey: As close to the technological images, you could theoretically do it, but you’re starting to go away from everything we’re trying to do, which is to keep everything authentic. We couldn’t release an all-Japanese board game here in the U.S., so…

While Mega Man Legacy Collection doesn’t feature RockBoard, it still has a fair amount of content. Players can experience the first six Mega Man titles as well as a challenge mode and museum.
