The latest edition of Famitsu DS+Wii has started to make its way out to readers in Japan, and there’s a noteworthy inclusion in the magazine. Towards the end, there is a tease regarding a big announcement about a major upcoming title for Nintendo systems. Sadly, there isn’t much said about this, but we’ll be hearing about it in the next issue of Famitsu DS+Wii.

Some Japanese news websites have speculated that the announcement could be related to Dragon Quest news teased by V-Jump. In a blog post on Dragon Quest X, V-Jump mentioned upcoming news on the series, saying that something concrete would be announced soon. Given that Dragon Quest X is available for the Wii U and 3DS, perhaps the announcement is for an expansion or new game in the series. Others have speculated that the news is related to Level-5’s Vision 2015 event early next month, which promises a look at upcoming titles like Yo-Kai Watch 3 and Fantasy Life 2.

Whether or not these rumors are related remains to be seen, and we’ll likely have to keep on speculating on any future announcements until next month’s Famitsu DS+Wii goes on sale.

Cell9 has come up with new custom firmware for Japanese New 3DS systems that makes region-free gaming possible.

“NTR CFW 2.0” has one purpose: to enable titles from around the world to be playable on the system. Piracy is not possible in any way, and only retail cartridges are acceptable.

The one downside is that you won’t be able to boot up the Japanese eShop. However, you can access a custom menu to take in-game screens and use plug-ins.

Gamers will need a Japanese New 3DS and an import copy of Cubic Ninja in order to use NTR CFW 2.0. Keep in mind that it only works with 3DS firmware versions 8.1.0/9.1.0/9.2.0.

As for what lies ahead in the future, Cell9 hopes to support the original 3DS and other regions at some point.
