Adventure Bar Labyrinth previously hit PlayStation Mobile back in 2013. Now the game is coming to 3DS, as confirmed by Rideon’s Kenichi Sonoda. A release is planned for spring in Japan.

Adventure Bar Labyrinth is a spin-off of Adventure Bar Story. The RPG has players taking on the quest of recovering a legendary secret treasure from a huge, underground labyrinth. Using items, battling monsters, and leveling up are key elements of the experience. It seems that the game was originally a free-to-play title (basic play is free, pay for items), but it remains to be seen if the 3DS version will adopt a similar model.

Circle Entertainment previously brought Adventure Bar Story overseas. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them pick up this one as well!

Fresh details about Medabots Girl Mission have emerged from Famitsu. As previously mentioned, the game is launching very soon in Japan: March 10.

Like previous Medabots games, two versions are planned: Kabuto and Kuwagata. The former features a story in Joyou Agricultural High School whereas the latter takes place in Teikou High School. Kabuto stars Minori Houjou (voiced by Ibuki Kido) and has Metabee. Kuwagata features Kaidou Megumi (voiced by Aya Suzaki) and has Rokusho.

More than 20 girls are included in Medabots Girl Mission. It’ll follow the path that players take to compete in the Artemis Cup tournament.

With the latest sales numbers reported by Media Create, we’ve learned that Wii U has now sold over three million units in Japan. The sales tracker has the console at around 3,020,662 units lifetime in the territory. Wii U launched in Japan back in December 2012, so it took around three years to reach this latest milestone.
