Shuuhou Imai, director of the Tokyo Majin Gakuen series and Mato Kurenai Yuugekitai, plans on announcing a new game for the 3DS this week.

Imai wrote on his blog:

“Even though we finished working on Yuugekitai, what with making Yugekiwalker and following the progress of other projects, it’s like there’s no time to relax. Rather than thinking about being able to take any holidays during Obon, I was worried about launching it in time.”

“Also, this week I’ll be able to release information about the new 3DS game that I wrote about previously, the one I wrote and directed.”

It doesn’t seem like we’ll be seeing Imai’s reveal in Famitsu, as news from the magazine has already leaked without word on the title. Still, we’re just a matter of days away from the official announcement.

Japan’s prime minister feels that, believe it or not, the country can learn from Nintendo.

When asked about his growth strategy for Japan, Shinzo Abe said:

“Well, for example, there’s a company called Nintendo. Over there, they made hanafuda cards, but gradually the people playing hanafuda decreased. However, that company called Nintendo makes hanafuda cards and whatnot, and I believe that only by doing that, it wasn’t able to protect hanafuda.”

According to Abe, Nintendo used technical expertise to lead the way in developing home video game consoles.

“And at the same time, it is keeping the traditional hanafuda cards. For sure, I think this is something that we can learn from.”
