What better way to get hype for the Japanese release with more menu tidbits! Sakurai takes apart another menu today that touches on some 3DS specific features:

Last week’s Famitsu offered a first look at PoPoLoCrois Bokujou Monogatari (otherwise known as PoPoLoCrois Harvest Moon). We now have a bunch of translated details from the magazine. Head past the break for the full rundown!

It’s not too often that we’re able to obtain sales of digital games. However, a recent issue of Famitsu shared sales of one prominent 3DS eShop title, Kirby Fighters Deluxe (otherwise known as Kirby Fighters Z).

Famitsu reveals that Kirby Fighters Deluxe has sold over 20,000 copies in Japan. The magazine doesn’t make this entirely clear, but it seems that 88 percent of the games sales came from the eShop directly. The other 12 percent account for download cards purchased at retailers.

New concept has appeared online showing scrapped concepts of Toads in mechs from Mario Strikers Charged.

Supposedly, Next Level Games planned on having them act as security, referees, and substitutes for ball boys around the perimeter of each pitch during gameplay. The idea was dropped due to perceived tech limitations with the Wii hardware.

Another interesting tidbit: Mario Strikers Charged was originally going to be called Super Mario Strikers 2. You can find the original logo – as well as concept art of the scrapped Toad mechs – in the gallery below.

Some of you may consider this to be spoiler territory, so you can find the images after the break.

With Splatoon’s visual style, Nintendo wanted to do something “different” from the competition.

“Shooters have tended to become more realistic, but it’s not Nintendo’s way to do that,” legendary video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto told EDGE this month. “It’s [got] to be different from what other folks are doing.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Miyamoto touched on shooters in general. While Nintendo may not visit these types of games on a regular basis, Miyamoto said he likes their controls and he wouldn’t say that he’s not interested in the genre.
