In an article in this week’s Famitsu, a new partnership between PoPoLoCrois and Harvest Moon was announced.
PoPoLoCrois was a very popular manga series in Japan, and with this new partnership we will see a combination of two worlds which will be titled PoPoLoCrois Farm Story. The game will include many characters from the PoPoLoCrois series, and will see the return of protagonist Prince Pietro.
More information should be leaking out over the next few days.

Next, camera functions. The New 3D makes use of stable 3D. Because it recognizes the position of the person’s face, the feature doesn’t support some software which utilizes the inner camera. Also, if you have accessories on your head or face – or if there is strong direct light entering the camera – the feature may not work properly.
