Starfish has produced a new gameplay video for next week’s Japanese 3DS release Kouenji Joshi Soccer 3. Check it out below.

Nintendo brought the 2DS to Japan earlier this year as a means of promoting the re-release of the Pokemon classics: Yellow, Red, Blue, and Green. They’ve been on sale as limited items since, and now their production is ending. As they’re the only 2DS systems available, the system as a whole won’t be sold any longer in Japan.
