A minor StreetPass Mii Plaza update is now available for download in Europe and Japan. As of now, the update hasn’t launched in North America.
Update v3.2 addresses the following:
– Under certain conditions, if there is a crash during Warrior’s Way or Mii Force, we addressed the issue and allow the game to be continued.
– In addition, we fixed minor issues to enhance the performance of the application.
Nintendo apologized for any trouble caused to users and advises suggests performing the update inside the StreetPass Mii Plaza.

SteamWorld Dig has been out for a few weeks now. How have the game’s sales been?
While we don’t have specific figures, Polygon reports that Image & Form is “extremely pleased with how Steamworld Dig has ascended”.
Co-founder Brjann Sigurgeirsson told the site:
“Economically, suffice it to say it’s not been bad, but I’m sure it’ll be even better,” Sigurgeirsson said. “You always hope to sell as much as possible on day one, but very few were prepared for us ‘slamming in from the side.’ Unknown dev/pub, unknown IP; people will need to hear and read about the game a couple of times before getting it.”
Image & Form previously confirmed that a new SteamWorld game is planned. According to Sigurgeirsson, the studio has already “come pretty far” in terms of deciding on the direction of the project.
“We’re talking about the next installment in the SteamWorld series, and we’ve come pretty far. We have a number of options. All of them look fun.”
