Square Enix has announced a new Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime title today for the 3DS. Features such as multiplayer, 3D, Wi-Fi, and SpotPass have already been confirmed. The multiplayer mode will support up to four players.
Gamers can expect to build ships and battle enemy pirates. Additional gameplay details are under wraps for the moment.
Square Enix is preparing a Winter 2011 release for Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 3: Daikaizoku to Shippodan. At this time, a North American/European launch has yet to be confirmed. The first game in the series never made it out of Japan, though the DS title saw localization a few years ago. Hopefully Square Enix will bring over the latest game as well.

Nintendo of America is teaming with visual arts educators across the United States to give students a fresh, fun way to study drawing and painting techniques. As part of a unique relationship between Nintendo and the National Art Education Association (NAEA), art teachers in elementary, middle and high school classrooms have been provided with hand-held Nintendo DSi XL™ systems and copies of Art Academy™, a software title that offers interactive art tutorials for budding artists of any background or skill level. Last month, the hardware and software were distributed to select teachers who are participating in the program, inviting them to discover interesting ways to incorporate Art Academy into creative classroom activities.
Created exclusively for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems, Art Academy lets students enjoy lessons on subjects such as color, shading and perspective. Using the Nintendo DS stylus just like a paintbrush or pencil, they can practice and develop skills that transfer easily to real-world art materials. In addition to guided tutorials, students can let their own creativity run wild in Free Paint mode, which lets them draw or paint whatever comes to mind.
Level-5 has announced that Inazuma Eleven Strikers will miss its original April 28 release date. The title is now set to launch sometime in the summer. According to an official statement provided by the company, the developers are taking some time to make the game a bit more family-oriented.
