Are you aware of the fact that Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle isn’t actually out in Japan yet? The much-lauded game has been available in the West for a couple of weeks now, but hasn’t hit Nintendo’s home turf yet. We’ve known for a while now that Nintendo are publishing the game themselves in Japan, and that it would be released sometime next year, but in the recent Nintendo Direct, a concrete date has finally been revealed. Turns out that Japanese fans won’t have to endure too much of 2018 without Mario + Rabbids as the game is launching on January 18th.

Ise-Shima Mystery Guide: The False Black Pearl has just been announced for 3DS via the latest issue of Famitsu. The mystery adventure-style game is a pretty clear reference to the classic NES game Famicom Detective Club – in fact, developer Happymeal is making Ise-Shima Mystery Guide: The False Black Pearl within the specifications of an NES game, at least in terms of its visuals and its sound design.

The game will be released exclusively on the 3DS eShop. A release date has not yet been announced.
