Nicalis intends to share “some great news” about Yatagarasu in the month, the company said on Twitter today. No hints were dropped, so we’ll just have to wait patiently for further information.
The tweet reads:
We'll have some great news regarding Yatagarasu later this month. @juanduran11

Nicalis announced Yatagarasu for the 3DS eShop last year. It is not yet known when the game will be available.
When the Wii U was first revealed, some people were confused as to whether the console was brand new or simply an add-on for the Wii. Things have become clearer since then, but the uncertainty hasn’t dissipated completely.
Retailer giant Target seems to be among those who remain confused about the Wii U – at least if a recent ad is to go by.
A new ad posted online indicates that Target used a Wii console to show the Wii U. As you can see in the photo above, a GamePad controller sits on top of a Wii system – not a Wii U console. Ah well… close enough.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate is now available for $10 cheaper on the 3DS eShop. Originally priced at $40, the game can now be bought for $30. Note that this is a permanent price drop.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata recently conducted a wide-scale interview with Toyo Keizai Online. Among the topics discussed include the Wii U and his thoughts when it comes to being a developer.
You can find a few tidbits below, courtesy of Kotaku. We’ll have more quotes from the interview over the next few days.
