The new Band Brothers game for 3DS was announced for Japan quite some time ago. However, it resurfaced during today’s Nintendo Direct with an official name and details.

Footage we posted to the site earlier today showed Satoru Iwata performing. As it turns out, players can be turned into a Vocaloid thanks to the 3DS microphone’s ability to record voices. The Yamaha Vocaloid synthesizer software is then used to product a Vocaloid. The game will also support additional musical instruments at the same time and enhanced sound quality.

Band Brothers P will be available in Japan this winter.

Nintendo started selling Wii U consoles at a loss when the system launched late last year. Unfortunately for the company, nothing has changed. A Nintendo representative has confirmed that Wii U is still being sold at a loss. That’s one of a few reasons as to why Nintendo is likely tentative to bring about a price drop.

One more tidbit from today’s Nintendo Direct to go over. In Japan, Wii Fit U is slated for October 31. The title will be out in December overseas.
