You thought Capcom was finished with paid demos after Mega Man Legends 3 was cancelled, didn’t you? Well, think again!
Capcom will be offering a ¥200 demo version of Nazo Waku Yakata this Thursday in Japan. It’ll feature the first chapters of the full game. Neither Nintendo nor Capcom label this download as a demo… but, come on, that’s essentially what it is.
It hasn’t been decided yet if future chapters will make their way to the eShop. If this initial “demo” is successful, I’m sure Capcom will do their best to provide additional content from the retail game.

Nintendo has revealed a new addition to the 3D Classics lineup. Konami’s TwinBee will be joining Exciebike, Xevious, and Urban Champion on the 3DS eShop next week in Japan.
Like other 3D classics, TwinBee will be available for 600 points. A release date hasn’t been announced for North America, but it’ll likely arrive here soon as well.
A new edition of Iwata Asks is live on Nintendo’s North American website. We’ve covered it on the site before, so I won’t be covering most of the details. It’s certainly worth a read if you’re a Star Fox fan, though. You can check it out here.
This is yet another trailer for the upcoming European release of Xenoblade Chronicles. It’s a bit longer than the one we shared with you yesterday, featuring an extra minute of footage.
Thanks to Jake for the tip!

Namco Bandai wants to get the point across that you can indeed remove saved data in Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions. I can’t blame them, since you wouldn’t want misinformation spreading around about your product!
Namco Bandai sent out this message to the press:
“It has recently been reported that PAC-MAN & Galaga DIMENSIONS for the Nintendo 3DS system lacks an option to erase data that has been saved to the game’s cartridge. I wanted to inform everyone that saved data can be reset by holding the A,B,X,Y,L and R buttons when booting up the game from the 3DS system’s home screen. We are sorry for the confusion and hope you enjoy playing PAC-MAN & Galaga DIMENSIONS.”
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata delivered a speech regarding the 3DS’ price drop at the Q&A portion of the company’s financial results briefing last week. You can read that here if you missed it.
In addition to that, though, Iwata also sent out a letter for the public to read, apologizing for those who “betrayed and criticize this decision.” That letter was written in Japanese and was not published by Nintendo of America/Europe. However, the letter has now been fully translated. Iwata comes across as being quite honest and it’s a great read overall, so I highly recommend that you guys check it out.
Head past the break for the translation.
