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.

Starting on March 14, Nintendo will be hosting a series of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournaments at a number of gaming and toy store locations across Japan. Stores in Ichikawa (Chiba prefecture), Umeda (Osaka) and Moriya (Ibaraki) will be seeing the first round of tournaments.

It’s important to mention that these tournaments aren’t player-based. Instead, amiibo figures will be battling it out.

The prize for winning the tournament is none other than… a free amiibo. Nintendo is also providing a Super Smash Bros. A4-sized clear file for all participants.

Masaya Games shared another update for Langrisser 3DS today. We have a look at Licorice, who is voiced by Nao Touyama.

Here’s the character bio for Licorice:

A “fated girl” and the younger sister of the protagonist Ares who disappeared at a young age. She is a kind girl with a certain love for humanity, and could never hate any living thing. She also has a strong sense of responsibility, and always carries her work out to the fullest. She is polite, but also somewhat shy, and never locks out the heart of another person. She just isn’t great at dealing with other people spoiling her. She liked seeing vegetation grow in the ruins of old buildings destroyed from the war. There are reasons as to why she and her older brother have to separate, but sometime down the line, they could reunite, although deep down she harbors some sort of secret….

Masaya also announced that Masaka Okui will sing the theme song in Langrisser 3DS. Okui is performing the song live during Masami Okui’s Birth Live 2015 Neo Stage event on March 13.
