A big announcement from Capcom is being teased for the next issue of Famitsu. The magazine will have a 32-page special preview, which will include the reveal of Capcom’s project.
We could hear about the new game as early as Tuesday. Famitsu may share the news on its website ahead of the magazine’s release in a brief post, though leaks will definitely occur with more information during the day as well.
Separately from the Capcom news, we’re hearing that a 100-page Smash Bros. 3DS supplement feature and a Bandai Namco TGS feature will be in next week’s Famitsu.
A new Bayonetta 2-focused Nintendo Direct will be shown this Thursday, Nintendo has announced.
The presentation will kick off at 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT. Nintendo will be sharing “new details” about the PlatinumGames-made title.
Nintendo of America tweeted just a few moments ago:

Warner Bros. Interactive has given us LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Harry Potter, and plenty more. Now it looks like the company could be producing a LEGO Jurassic World game as well.
Website Jurassic World managed to get its hands on two memos within the Toys “R” Us system from April and July. They reveal that a “video game contract” is in the works for LEGO Jurassic World.
As nothing is officially confirmed, we’ll consider this a rumor for the time being. But LEGO Jurassic World could be pretty neat if this turns into something concrete…
Amazon has discounted a few first-party 3DS games by $5. You can grab Mario Kart 7
, Super Mario 3D Land
, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
, Animal Crossing: New Leaf
, and New Super Mario Bros. 2
for $25 each. I imagine these deals will be valid for about a week.
Bob Hoskins played Mario in the notorious Super Mario Bros. film from 1993. However, it sounds like Nintendo was originally seeking Danny DeVito for the role.
Take a look at this article from January 1991, which was shared by Console Wars author Blake J. Harris:

Further comments have emerged regarding the potential localization of Dragon Quest VII for 3DS.
In an interview with USgamer, Square Enix’s Yuu Miyake revealed that the company had given up on the idea at one point. However, based on interest from fans, Square Enix is now “trying to rethink this, to see if there’s any way to make this more feasible.”
Miyake said:
This petition came from France, written in Japanese, asking, ‘Is there any way you would consider it?’ We hear the fans, and we’re paying attention. We had actually given up on the idea of localization altogether, but because there’s such a great response we’re trying to rethink this, to see if there’s any way to make this more feasible. We’re recalculating, and figuring out the costs necessary. Trying to work out the details.
