Ace Attorney 6 is now available for pre-load in Japan. 3DS owners can purchase the game now and download most of the data, with only a small update needed at launch to begin playing.

Two separate versions of Miitomo are out now. iOS users can download version 1.2.1 while the app is up to version 1.2.2 on Android.
We reported yesterday that the new email invite feature was resulting in crashes on iOS. After updating, this should no longer be a problem. At this time, we’re not quite sure what version 1.2.2 includes for Android users.
This week, Nintendo announced that special content from Super Mario will be added to Minecraft: Wii U Edition on May 17. Xbox boss Phil Spencer had only positive things to say about the partnership on Twitter.
Spencer tweeted out the following:
@YTMaxi Partnership with Nintendo on this has been great, nice to see Minecraft doing so well on the Wii U and to get the Mario content.

Microsoft acquired Minecraft as well as developer Mojang in 2014. That means the company is directly tied into all business decisions made with the game, including partnerships.
Nintendo shared a bunch of news and footage about its upcoming Japanese 3DS game Culdcept Revolt.
The title is now available for pre-purchase on the 3DS eShop. Those who take advantage of this or spend 500 Platinum My Nintendo points can receive a “Start Dash Version” demo. The download comes with eight types of books (decks of cards) and includes the opening part of Quest Mode. Save data can be transferred to the full game.
Nintendo said today that Culdcept Revolt will have more than 150 story mode stages, and “Breed Cards” that are possible to train and develop.
Culdcept Revolt arrives in Japan on July 7 for 4,700 yen. You can watch the full Culdcept Revolt Direct below as well as an introduction video featuring Aya Shibata. A second presentation will be held in late June.
