According to a possible leak from Famitsu it looks like the recently announced 3DS game, Rorona Atelier will launch in Japan on March 26, 2015.

It also seems as if the game will have a special unlock-able feature called “Atelier Astrid”. This unlocked feature will take place when Astrid Zexis and Sterkenburg “Sterk” Cranach are younger, and you will be able to see how they lived their lives.

There also seems to be a variable difficulty option in the game.

Although no additional information is available at this time, we are sure to see more updates as the time draws nearer to the release date.

Stay tuned for future updates.

One of the topics Famitsu brings up is the inclusion of Duck Hunt. “The original Duck Hunt is a quite major game,” Sakurai said. He notes that the title could be the best-selling shooter game in the world since it was included with the NES in America.
