Nintendo has pushed out updates for the StreetPass Mii Plaza and Girls Mode 3 in Japan.

StreetPass Mii Plaza has now been patched to version 4.1. The update is all about addressing unnamed bugs and improving stability. At the moment, it’s not available in either North America or Europe.

The new version of Girls Mode 3 is now 1.1.0. This addresses a couple of things. First, Nintendo fixed a bug which gave the wrong western-style cloth when purchasing one from hangers or torsos inside other players’ StreetPass rooms or inside a room which Kimi gave. Nintendo also fixed display names for various transparent hangers and transparent torsos.

Famitsu has gone live with the first screenshots from Princess PreCure: Sugar Kingdom and the Six Princesses. You can find them below.

Additionally, we have a few more details about the game. As previously reported, Princess PreCure: Sugar Kingdom and the Six Princesses is a match-three puzzle game. In order to clear them from the puzzle, players need to line up the same colored gummies. Doing so provides characters and costume stickers that can be used for decorations.

Zetsuborg will also come into play while taking on puzzles. The only way to damage these creatures is by erasing gummies. Doing so eventually clears the stage.

Nintendo has updated the Fire Emblem If boxarts, and they reveal that the game will have some sort of amiibo support. While the functionality has yet to be detailed, you can probably expect figures like Marth, Lucina, and more to come into play somehow.

The boxarts also confirm that Fire Emblem If is rated CERO C. This will be the first entry in the series with such a rating, which indicates that the game is intended for players 15 and up.

Square Enix is distributing new Bravely Second costumes for Edea, Magnolia, and Yu via a StreetPass event in Japan.

Here’s where fans can obtain the costumes:

Edea – Yodobashi Camera Multimedia Akiba shop in Tokyo
Magnolia – Yodobashi Camera Multimedia Umeda in Osaka
Yu – Futaba Tosho TERA Wonder City Store at Nagoya

In order to participate in the StreetPass event, players will need to have reached a certain point early in the game. They’ll find the Swordmaster Asterisk Holder Kamiizumi (StreetPassizumi), who comes in different forms, after StreetPassing. Players won’t be able to summon friends to fight against the StreetPassizumi, but he’s apparently weaker than average and scales to their level.
