This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition (360) – 9/9/7/9
Rabbids Land (Wii U) – 7/7/6/7
A quiet week for reviews in the latest Famitsu. Next week should be a bit busier with titles such as Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Gyrozetter.
The next entry in the Touch Detective series is in the works for the 3DS. This week’s Famitsu confirms that Touch Detective 3 will be released for Nintendo’s handheld system.
This is the Touch Detective game Success was teasing last week. A release is planned for 2013.
No details yet, but we should be getting information soon.
FuRyu is working on a new title for the 3DS and PlayStation Vita. Announced in this week’s issue of Famitsu, Ex-Tetra is a full-scale fantasy RPG.
Ex-Tetra is set in Amasia, where Tokyo has been fused with other portions of the world.
Tony Taka and Katsumi Enami are working on character designs. Yoko Shimomura is handling the game’s music. And finally, Claris is in charge of the theme song.
Ex-Tetra will be available in Japan on October 17.
Two more classic games will be available on the Japanese Wii U eShop next week. Super Mario Bros. and Punch-Out!! will be available as Virtual Console downloads starting on June 5. Each is priced at 500 yen.
One Kickstarter campaign has ended in success, while another has ended in slight disappointment.
Rex Rocket has been fully funded, having secured close to $11,000 in funding. Only $6,000 was originally requested. We should be seeing this one on a bunch of platforms including the Wii U and 3DS.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, The Realm’s Kickstarter ended unsuccessfully. But that’s not the end of the story. A new Kickstarter will launch later this year, which will allow US users to contribute directly to the campaign. The previous campaign made it difficult for US residents to add to the total as it was a UK-based Kickstarter.
Nintendo of America has approved Mutant Mudds Deluxe, according to a tweet from Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham. Only one step remains: an approval from Nintendo’s Japanese headquarters.
Watsham’s tweet reads:
Mutant Mudds Deluxe has been approved by NOA, but there is one last approval phase left at HQ in Japan before it is 100% approved for NA. 🙂

Renegade Kid previously said that it hopes to have Mutant Mudds Deluxe ready by June.
