Nintendo recently updated the Japanese 3DS app Collectible Badge Center with another wave of Animal Crossing badges. You can check them out in the video below.

During a mall event tour in Japan, The Great Ace Attorney producer announced that Capcom is planning on releasing a demo on the Japanese 3DS eShop. It will basically be the same one as the one shared at Monster Hunter Festa, but it will allow those who couldn’t attend to give The Great Ace Attorney a try.

The Great Ace Attorney’s demo weighs in at 48.9 MB and offers 30 uses. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on when it will be hitting the eShop. We should hear something more concrete soon.

How does Dragon Quest VIII’s new 3DS version stack up to the PlayStation 2 original? You can get a look at the images above and below. 3DS is on the left while PS2 is on the right.

I do want to point out that all of these screenshots aren’t direct-feed. Still, they should give you a decent idea as to how the two versions compare!

The latest issue of Jump has revealed two new assist characters for Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden. Dr. Wheelo and Jackie Chun will both be included, the magazine confirms.

Dr. Wheelo is the antagonist of the Dragon Ball Z: The World’s Strongest film, and is a scientist with a cyborg body who experiments in biotechnology. Jackie Chun, meanwhile, is Master Roshi’s alternate identity used to enter a tournament and disguise himself from his students.

In Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden, assist characters come in the form of Bulma’s inventions from Capsule and Chichi’s fury. The latter feature fills the screen with a giant speech balloon of her venting.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Gaming sales in Japan were not very good last week – so much so that they’re the worst sales since 2001.

Based on the latest Media Create data, just 235,000 video games were sold between May 11 and May 17. Along with it being a sixty percent drop compared to the previous week, it’s also a 61.93 percent drop compared to the same week last year.

One part of the problem is that gaming sales tend to slow down following Golden Week. Media Create also points out that there was a total lack of new titles. Instead, a bunch of remastered and reworked games were released.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition is selling a bit slowly as well. Sales are up to 232,683 copies, but it has only sold through 59.19 percent of its initial shipment.
