You can see four new Pokémon in this purported CoroCoro scan for the upcoming 3DS game — the ridable Grass-type Gogoat, the Electric-type lizard thing, the Normal/Flying-type bird Yayakoma, and the Fighting-type panda Yanchamu.
Serebii also notes that the game is set in the Karos region (in a location seemingly based on France), and has trainer customization features for hair and skin color.

Fast-paced chip punk recorded in the most lo-fi way imaginable (a cassette tape in his bedroom), it embraces every bit of the garage punk aesthetic and I love it. This track is off Euan’s latest EP Never Grow Up Club, the rest of which is as fast-paced and youthfully furious as this.

Being the mayor of your Animal Crossing: New Leaf town has it perks. You get your own Town Hall office, shopkeepers are always polite to you, everyone always comes to you with their gossip, it’s easy to allocate funds toward sending secret armies to fight covert drug wars in other countries, etc.
Another thing you can do is pass ordinances to fit your play style, like making it so all the stores are open late, which works great if you rarely have time to play New Leaf earlier than 10PM, when most of the shops are already closed. You can also pass laws to make the town more beautiful (less garbage and weeds) and wealthy!

Shin Zelda Densetsu is an old homebrew project, released back in 2004 by Aesirraven and Lord Steak, but the ROM hack suffered a game-breaking bug in one of its dungeons. Chris Miller has just released a patch that should finally fix the issue and allow people to complete the game now!
It’s a complete overhaul of the original Zelda game, and from what I hear it’s quite good. Miller summarizes the changes:
“In a novel twist, the player must guide Princess Zelda on a quest to rescue Link from the forces of evil. The overworld is completely revamped, with few if any recognizable landmarks or routes from the original game. It is superbly designed, and won’t bore the player. The same goes for the dungeons. Instead of numbered levels, the dungeons are identified by symbols of the zodiac.”
I love that the list of classic games hacked to offer playable female protagonists is growing.

Popular Japanese arcade game Pokemon Tretta Lab is coming to 3DS this August, and will transform the handheld into something that looks almost as large as a an arcade cabinet in the process. Almost. I don’t know the exact dimensions, but it looks close.
The portable release will act as an extension of its arcade counterpart, and the 3DS and XL accessories allow players to scan the plastic tokens that hold their Pokemon. Here’s an explanation for how the tokens work with the arcade game.
This seems about as likely to come to the U.S. as Learn with Pokemon: Typing Adventure — actually less so, since the arcade game has no presence in the States.

It’s everything you’d expect and want from a trailer for a massive crossover game — ridiculous special attacks, team combos, and arbitrary HP numbers hopping off characters like passengers jumping from a sinking ship.

I finally cleared up my 3DS’s R-button issues with a simple fix, so I can take in-game screenshots with Animal Crossing: New Leaf now!
My neighbors have grilled me with questions about how people talk on “the streets,” and have been quick to absorb my foreign vernacular. Unfortunately “What’s poppin’ slime” didn’t fit the character limits for Penelope’s greeting, but I was able to suggest “Booty Secrets” when Hugh asked me for a covert phrase we could use when trading gossip.
Pretty sure this isn’t what Nintendo had in mind when they provided reviewers with an early copy of the game.

A bug in Nintendo’s Japan-only life sim for the 3DS, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, allows male Miis to live together, marry, go on honeymoons, and even have children, according to a report from Kotaku. Female Miis don’t get to enjoy the same rights, but this is at least more than what you could do in Fire Emblem: Awakening, in which you had to settle for innuendos and Old Hubba being a creeper.
Someone claims to have spoken to Nintendo’s customer service and heard that the publisher will patch the bug, which is pretty lame. Also lame: still no announced plans for a Western release.

Sega’s 3DS series of remakes for its classic games will bring an enhanced edition of the original Sonic the Hedgehog to Japan next week!
This release includes nice extras like the spin dashing that you can turn on or off, button remapping, normal and CRT modes, and the ability to switch between the Japanese and Western versions of the game to experience their differences. You can even set the audio to emulate the original Sega Genesis or the Sega Genesis model 2, and adjust the stereoscopic 3D to emphasize either depth or pop-out effects similar to Super Mario 3D Land.
I’ve no idea why Sega hasn’t brought its 3D series to the U.S. yet…
