– The bug that caused incorrect vibration notifications has been fixed.
– Day and night modes have changed to more accurately reflect the Trainer’s current time of day.

Circle Entertainment said it was localizing Gourmet Dream back in October. The game is now set for release this Thursday in North America with a $5 price point.
Here’s an overview from Nintendo’s website:
“Gourmet Dream is a management game in which you take up the role of a restaurant manager and help your shop to grow.
The aim of the game is to help your restaurant flourish until it is evaluated as an “S Rank” restaurant.
In order to do this, you will have to create a menu to suit your customer’s needs, hire and train staff that provide great food and service, and run promotions to increase the number of customers that come to your restaurant. In essence, you will be raising your store into a ‘Highly Esteemed Gourmet Restaurant’.”
We don’t have a date yet, but Gourmet Dream should also be heading to Europe sometime soon.
