A new feature was announced for the upcoming 3DS version of Dragon Quest VIII today – Camera Mode, which allows you to take a picture of the top screen, which is then saved to your 3DS’ SD card. However, this feature is not just for taking screenshots – you can get special requests from NPCs who ask you to take pictures of rare monsters and hidden items and who will reward you for doing so. When taking pictures of your party members, you can also have them take special poses.

The “Nintendo Girls Game Museum” will be happening in Japan later this month and in August.

With the event, Nintendo is looking to bring in girls who like to play games and those who don’t often play them. They’ll be able to try out the latest recommended titles and series that have an established fan base with the female audience in Japan.

Nintendo will have the following games on display:

Yoshi’s Woolly World (Wii U)
Rhythm Heaven: The Best + (3DS)
Style Savvy 3 (3DS)
Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition (3DS)
12 Sai ~Honto no Kimochi (3DS)
The Great Ace Attorney (3DS)
Hoppe-chan: Punitto Shibotte Daibouken! (3DS)

Along with playable games, Nintendo will be selling various items. There will also be a demonstration for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, and those who play the game can receive special novelty presents.

The Nintendo Girls Game Museum event is taking place between July 18 and July 20 at the Aeon Mall Makuhari Shin Toshin at Chiba city of Chiba Prefecture. A second event will be held at the Grand Tree Musashikosugi mall located in Kawasaki City of Kanagawa Prefecture on August 1 and 2.

Seems like Nintendo is fairly confident that the Animal Crossing spin-off Happy Home Designer will do well in Japan. The company announced today that the first shipment of the game will consist of 500,000 units. This includes both the regular version of the game as well as the one that will be bundled with the NFC reader. Both versions will come with one amiibo card.

Recently, both Splatoon and Fire Emblem Fates were basically sold out in Japan in their first couple of weeks on the market. It’ll be interesting to see how well Happy Home Designer does and if Nintendo calculated the demand appropriately this time.

Bandai is releasing a Denpa Men card game in Japan. Starting from August 8th, booster packs containing six cards each will be available in stores. However, it’s not just a simple card game – each card contains a code that can be redeemed in the 3DS game Denpa Ningen no RPG Free to get Denpa Men and free items.

Since Denpa Ningen no RPG Free is currently Japan-only, a release of the card game in the West seems fairly unlikely, unfortunately.
