Nintendo will soon be kicking off a new 3DS XL promotion in Japan.
Those who pick up a new system beginning on April 26 can receive a “recommended” game download as a bonus. They’ll receive a voucher redeemable for a game chosen by Nintendo.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Youkai Watch are the first two recommended games. Both will be available until May 1, and will then be swapped out with different titles.
Vouchers will expire on September 30. However, if consumers aren’t interested in these first two games, they can wait until June the June titles are announced or later.
Nintendo is slashing the prices of five 3DS titles.

Check out Nintendo’s announcement in full below.
Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:

ON THIS EPISODE: Plenty of games are touched upon in the opening segment of this episode, including Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball, Banjo Kazooie, Guild Wars 2, and The Wind Waker HD. Find out why Rusty is a weirder character than you thought he was, and why Banjo Kazooie may not really be all that fun.
PLUS: As you’d expect, a discussion of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS fills out the middle segment where we discuss our thoughts on the game’s staggered release, the separation of dual-characters, an apparent focus on game balance, and how cool Sakurai is. Where does he find such cool sweaters!?
AND: We end the show with listener mail about Tomadachi Life, what kind of Zelda over-worlds we like, and how to review games! Plus we laugh a lot. That’s good.

In the very near future, BLOK DROP U will be receiving its first title update. While it won’t introduce any additional content, RCMADIAX has implemented a number of changes to improve upon the core experience.
I was recently given the opportunity to try out BLOK DROP U’s impending update. For some quick impressions, head past the break.
Superstick will probably be making its way to Wii U. Dilmer Valecillos from ImagiTech DJ said on Twitter recently that the studio is planning an eShop release, assuming “everything works out well”.
The full tweet reads:
@juanafons We're planning on releasing to PS initially but if everything works out we will release to Wii U as well 😉 so yes

Sonic Lost World’s Zelda Zone features the hedgehog dressed up in Link’s garb. But in the Yoshi Zone, Sonic’s appearance remains the same.
Producer Takashi Iizuka explained why this is so to 4Gamer in a recent interview. For the Yoshi DLC, SEGA wanted to focus on Sonic running around and collecting eggs. But for the Zelda Zone, even though Hyrule Field appears, some players may not be familiar with the series and may have felt that it was nothing more than an average area. Iizuka therefore took charge in making sure Sonic was dressed as Link.
“While talking with the designers, we were wondering how we could have Sonic wear these clothes and look normal while covering his spikes,” Iizuka said. “In any case, I was definitely worried at the time of designing.”
