A new Dr. Mario game was announced for 3DS via today’s Nintendo Direct. Keeping in tradition with downloadable games that are announced during these presentations, it came out on the Japanese eShop right after its reveal.
There’s no doubt that the new Dr. Mario will make its way west eventually, and it looks like its English title has already been confirmed. Miiverse has it listed as “Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure”. Stretchmo’s English name was revealed in the same fashion, so I’d say that this will be the final title here in the west.
Update: Another video! Germ Buster mode footage below.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata published a few messages on the company’s Japanese Twitter account following today’s Nintendo Direct.
Iwata first commented on how he did not host this latest broadcast. Rather than having him present, he turned to Mr. Morimoto from the PR department for the stream. Despite this, Iwata noted that has hasn’t quit doing Nintendo Directs. He just thought it might not be interesting to see a 55 year-old man present each time.
Iwata also addressed the amiibo situation as well. Once again, he apologized for amiibo shortages. He said that some figures will be re-produced, though this will take time to accomplish.
