DS/3DS Release Dates & Sales // Tiny Cartridge Stickers For Your Games!

Rhythm Heaven Fever wallpaper, one of a selection of great desktops at the official site (warning: sound!).

I’m almost certain some of our readers have an interest in Rhythm Heaven-type games, so I thought I’d point you to the review I wrote for Joystiq last week. You should also check out Mike Schramm’s gallery from last night’s Rhythm Heaven Fever/iam8bit launch party!

And while I’m pointing out rhythm game writeups at Joystiq, how about a preview of Rhythm Thief and the Emperor’s Treasure? I was really proud of how that turned out, and I just noticed it has all of three comments. Mannnnnn.

While Nintendo hires Haruka Ayase to hawk Super Mario 3D Land in Japan, we get… eShop hipster John. Who’s just as awkward as ever in this Valentine’s Day spot. 

I actually like John (somehow), so it’s nice to see him kinda paired with an alterna-girl here. I guess things didn’t work out with that Samsung Galaxy S II lady.

“I understand that he has some popularity. Somehow.”

Shigeru Miyamoto talking about his least favorite Mario Kart character, Toad, and how baffling it is that people actually like the strange little guy.

The infem.in Touch Pen for Nintendo 3DS, which uses an innovative GIANT FRILLY CUFF to stay attached to your wrist.

If you’re a DS nerdo like us, you probably remember infem.in, Keys Factory’s line of gothic-lolita DS accessories. The 3DS lineup looks largely identical to the DS lineup, a lot of plastic lace and pink/black combos, with the exception of this glorious thing. 

I’m also fond of this hilariously impractical card case:

Art and screenshots from Grasshopper’s Kaiho Shojo (or Liberation Girl), the shooter making up one-fourth of Level-5’s upcoming 3DS omnibus Guild01. More screenshots and gameplay details can be found here.

I haven’t seen enough of this game in motion to determine if it will be the business, but based on these early images, one can see hints of the business taking place.

Fire Emblem: Awakening’s character editor, which you’ll use to create one of two protagonists in the upcoming 3DS game — the other hero is Kingdom of Iris prince Krom, the blue-haired, Lord-class chap we’ve shown before.

Your custom character crossing Krom’s path is a critical part of the story, according to this text published by Japanese magazine Jump and posted by Andriasang:

“Two sleeping dragons — one a sacred ally of mankind, the other its sworn destroyer. Two heroes marked with symbols of the dragons. Their meeting heralds the dragons’ awakening — and the world’s ending.”

Basically it’s the video game version of 2Pac and Snoop Dogg’s “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted”. Like, “Ahh shit, you done fucked up now. You done put two of America’s most wanted in the same motherfuckin’ place at the same motherfuckin’ time?”

That’s exactly what this is, guys. Fire Emblem: Awakening is nothing but a gangsta party.

On the set with Japanese idol Miho Tanaka for Harvest Moon: Land of Beginning’s commercial. When in doubt over your commercial, just say everything with duck lips!

Here’s another version of the ad with Ms. Tanaka. I wonder who it was at Marvelous AQL was was like, “We need a killer idea to revitalize the Harvest Moon franchise… By golly, I think I’ve got it — duck lips!”

You can totally order those Slime mugs now →

I saw from the reactions on Twitter that other people are as in love with the Slime mugs as I am. So here’s a PSA: J-List is taking pre-orders on them now. The Slime, Slime King, and Slime Knight mugs are on the site, for $24 each, shipping in March.

No sign of the Slime Stack or Liquid Metal Slime yet, but those are due to ship later in Japan anyway.

Japanese box for Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. Not bad, even if Riku’s fingers look like someone slammed a door on them. I always have trouble drawing hands, too.

NicoNico-style comments in Hatsune Miku & Future Stars: Project Mirai, wwwww. In the “PV Theater” mode, you can watch videos and paste scrolling comments onto the screen like those in Nico videos. You can then trade your comments via StreetPass to fill up others’ screens. Just another adorable aspect to this game!

Not cute enough? AR Miku!

What’s that cartridge peeking out of that DS? (click for a larger image). Why, it’s Kissing Party, one of four designs from our $5 sticker pack for DS/3DS games!

Tiny Cartridge reader Phillis took this shot after replacing the “lame” label on her M3i flashcart, and I’m sure her life is now a million times better thanks to that decision.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, don’t you want to make sure you get a hold of Kissing Party (and other rad cartridge art from Mare Odomo) for yourself/your lover? Send us non-butt photos of your games if you do!
