The Miitomo interview with Yoshio Sakamoto and Shigesato Itoi has been updated and completed, with Part 6 available to read here. The two discuss how the different people might react to the game at different times, and the challenges of dealing with a game that might get personal with players when they don’t want it to do so.
Update: The patch has been completed and servers are back online. It is also confirmed to have fixed the invisible player glitch.

Over 80 years have passed since the terrible events of the year 2020, where Tokyo was left severely dilapidated by the vicious attacks of Dragons. To some, it is just a legend, seeing as there weren’t very many survivors. But to others, it is a very serious issue in which an organization known as ISDF want to prevent future attacks, as well as travel through time with the help of some trainees who win a Dragon-hunting simulation contest to put a stop to these monsters for good. In a world where Dragons were thought to be practically extinct, Tokyo gets a very bad wakeup call in which no more time can be wasted. With eight classes and a variety of moves and teams to make, 7th Dragon III: Code VFD puts you in charge of ridding the world of these Dragons and saving humanity once and for all.

Here’s an overview of the level:
“Urgent report from the Squid Research Lab! The Squid Sisters have been spotted in the world of Super Mario Maker, and the local squids don’t seem to be giving them a very warm welcome! It’s up to Callie and Marie to show those Blooper bullies that the new squids on the block aren’t about to be messed with. May the freshest squid win!”
And here’s some footage:
Konami brought Yu-Gi-Oh! Saikyou Card Battle to the Japanese 3DS eShop earlier this week. Get a look at the game in the video below.
Before Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE launched in North America and Europe last month, co-director Mitsuru Hirata shared a message on his own Twitter page. He very briefly commented on how the overseas version made changes to the original Japanese release.
After one fan mentioned their disappointment with censorship, Hirata weighed in on the situation again. He responded to that person with the following message:
“When I found out we were unable to provide the same experience as the Japanese version, I also felt some disappointment. But our overseas fans remained happy that the game was being brought over and I’m glad to see their passionate support. In the meantime, the new costumes added could in a way be considered a merit that can only be enjoyed by our overseas fans! Thank you, and please look forward to the game!”
Thanks to thieftheodore for the tip.

Splatoon received a new update earlier this week. Perhaps as an unforeseen side effect, a significant glitch has been spotted by the community.
The glitch in question involves players becoming invisible, and they appear to be ascending to heaven on the kill cam. It happens after superjumping right before you hit water or an area out of bounds. You’ll be invisible to teammates as well as enemies starting with the superjump enemies, and your squid icon will be off the GamePad to teammates.
As for the kill cam, it’s shown in a certain way because you’re stuck in superjump animation to everyone else. Shots don’t do damage, but reports say that bombs are effective.
This video shows how chaotic things can become when both teams become invisible:
Toon Tanks originally appeared on the North American Wii U eShop at the end of 2014, but it hasn’t yet made its way to Europe. That’ll finally be changing later this month. A listing on the eShop pins down Toon Tanks’ European release for July 21. It’ll be priced at €1.99.
