We won’t have any sales data until tomorrow, but Etrian Mystery Dungeon appears to be doing very well in Japan.

In a notice sent out today, Atlus noted that Etrian Mystery Dungeon is running out of stock in Japan, and a new shipment is coming very soon. That being said, the next shipment could also run out quickly, so reserving a copy is recommended.

Atlus apologized for the stock issues surrounding Etrian Mystery Dungeon with the above image. For those who are looking to purchase the game immediately, the company does mention that its game can be found on the eShop as a digital download.

Stella Glow finally has resurfaced after originally being announced last October. This week’s issue of Famitsu has a follow up report on the game, and the magazine spoke with producer Hideyuki Mizutani about the delay.

According to Mizutani, development was nearly finished in October, and the project was all wrapped up in November. However, sales-related issues pushed the title from its original winter launch target. Imageepoch ended up partnering with SEGA to handle Stella Glow’s publishing. As you may recall, the two companies worked together on 7th Dragon.

That’s not all on Stella Glow. Famitsu also provides a first look at the following characters:

The Eastern Witch and Song Maiden, Sakuya (voiced by Yui Sakakibara)
That Ninja Guard, Nonoka (voiced by Sayuri Yahagi)
The Merchant, Yuan (voiced by Mana Hirata)
Hilda’s Lackey Enemy Witch, Droshi (voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki)

Imageepoch announced Stella Glow for 3DS last October. There’s literally been no news about the game since then, but an unexpected update was finally shared today.

SEGA will now handle publishing duties for Stella Glow in Japan. Additionally, it’s been revealed that the title is slated for June 4. Pricing is set at for 5,990 yen.
