Update: Here’s a photo of the European Pokemon Yellow 2DS theme:
When you purchase the New 3DS Pokemon 20th Anniversary Edition, a pair of themes will be included. You can see what both look like above.
Also included in the package is the New 3DS itself, pre-installed copies of Pokemon Red/Blue, and two cover plates.
Circle Entertainment has come out with a video for Parascientific Escape: Cruise in the Distant Seas, which is due out on the 3DS eShop early next month. Check it out below.
And here’s an overview of the game:
“Hitomi Akeneno is a 16 year old high school student with a little secret – she has not one, but two psychic powers. After receiving an invitation, she boards a luxury cruise ship with her friend, Chisono Shio. As soon as she enters a suite room, a loud explosion sounds…and she finds herself stuck, unable to get out. Is this an accident? Or something far more sinister…? The only way to find out is to escape, with the help of her powers.”
Yesterday, Mega Man Legacy Collection released along with a collector’s edition in North America. Watch an unboxing video for the package below.

Fire Emblem Fates sold over 300,000 copies between all versions during its launch weekend, Nintendo has announced. It’s now the fastest-selling game in the history of the franchise in the United States.
Fire Emblem Fates managed to sell more than five times as many units as Fire Emblem Awakening. That game was the previous record holder in the United States during its first three days of availability.
Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright was the top seller between both versions, though Conquest was “close behind.”
Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive VP of sales and marketing, said of today’s news:
“Both fans and critics are falling for Fire Emblem Fates, and the early sales numbers prove the game’s undeniable appeal. This strong momentum for Nintendo 3DS is only the beginning, as many more high-quality exclusive games are set to launch for the hand-held system over the next few months.”

Coverage surrounding Etrian Odyssey V has been a bit strange. While it was announced back in November 2014, Atlus didn’t say which platform the game would be on. We’ve also received relatively little news about the title since the original reveal.
Interestingly, Etrian Odyssey V has popped up on a new survey from Atlus. One question actually lists it as a 3DS title. Given the series’ history, that platform choice would definitely make sense.
Update: Small extra tidbit, but today’s PR for the Pokemon Photo Booth app says the Pokemon Direct will have “big news.”
Today, Nintendo announced that a special Pokemon Direct will air this Friday. The company will have news about “the latest on Pokemon games.”
It’ll be streamed at the following times:
– 7 AM PT
– 10 AM ET
– 3 PM in the UK
– 4 PM in Europe
We’ll have a live stream for the Pokemon Direct before it begins – possibly a live blog as well. Note that the presentation will only last five minutes.

Nintendo and Atlus have released a new update for Genei Ibun Roku #FE. Players can download version 1.1 starting today.
Perhaps as expected, this new update doesn’t appear to do a whole lot. Nintendo’s patch notes say some problems have been fixed so that the game can be played more comfortably.
Kemco confirmed earlier today that Infinite Dunamis will be launching on the Japanese 3DS eShop next week. Check out a trailer below.
