Picross 3D 2 came to Japan last October. There hasn’t been any news about the amiibo-supported puzzle game heading west, but a classification discovered by Nintendo Everything reveals plans for localization.
The USK, Germany’s ratings board, has added in a listing for “Picross 3D: Round 2”. Although it submitted towards the end of last year, the listing was only made public recently.
Nintendo has yet to officially announce Picross 3D: Round 2 for Europe. However, the listing suggests that news should be on the way soon. It’s also unclear if Nintendo has any plans for the game in North America.
In an interview with The Worldfolio, Hajime Satomi, President and CEO of Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., stated that the previously announced Sonic the Hedgehog movie would release in 2018. First announced in 2014, the movie is being made by Sony Pictures and is planned to be a live-action/animation hybrid. This release window is the first statement about the film since its original announcement.

There’s been plenty of talk surrounding Fire Emblem Fates since it was reported that the title wouldn’t feature the petting mini-game included in the original Japanese release. It’s been an interesting couple of weeks to say the least, but believe it or not, we have something new pertaining to the situation.
Apparently, the petting mini-game hasn’t been cut entirely. We’re hearing that it’s still there for units that have S-supports and/or potentially A+ supports with Corrin.
We’ve embedded the relevant portion from GameSpot’s episode of “The Lobby”, which talks about how the mini-game hasn’t been entirely removed. One editor speaks about rubbing your marriage partner’s face to wake them up and blowing into your 3DS’ microphone to remove steam after they’ve taken a bath.
Several new titles are coming to the Japanese eShop on February 17. Here’s a look at the upcoming digital downloads:
Wii U Virtual Console
Yoshi’s Story (N64, 1,028 yen)
Shining Soul (GBA, 702 yen)
Wii U Download
Bird Mania Party (200 yen)
3DS Download
Witch & Hero II (400 yen)
Nintendo released official videos for Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Chocobo Land – A Game of Dice on the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console. Watch them below.
