Special “Chotto Mario” 3DSes (click for larger images), sent to Japan’s Club Nintendo members this week who registered two 3DS games over the holiday and had their names pulled from a raffle. Nintendo made only 1,000 systems for each of the three designs.
As our commentors note, Europe and Australia have a similar lottery set up, where you need to register two select games to enter. And North America gets… nothing.

Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition commercial airing in Japan, where this will release in a month.
There’s no word yet on whether this strange collaboration SRPG is headed to North America, but given the Nintendo DS’s near-empty slate and everyone’s love for pocket monsters, I’m betting we’ll hear something by E3.

Indies Zero head Masanobu Suzui crying at Yodobashi Camera because he can’t find a copy of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, which his studio developed for Square Enix.
The Final Fantasy rhythm game for 3DS released in Japan this week, and apparently it’s selling quite well — some even report that a few stores have sold out of their copies! That might be due to a low initial shipment, but still, I figured a lot of people would ignore this and wait for the much cheaper iOS version that seems inevitable.
[Update: In case it’s not obvious, I’m glad that wasn’t the case, and that people are supporting Indies Zero!]

Screenshots for Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry’s Wonderland 3D (click for larger images), the upcoming 3DS remake of Game Boy’s Dragon Quest Monsters.
Some of these environments look wayyyy bland. Come on, TOSE (assuming they’re the developer), you can do better than this. At least the blue hedgehog/mole guys are cute.

Trailer for the first Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy downloadable content. These eight songs will be available on the eShop in Japan this week for 150 yen ($1.90) each. Square Enix plans to support the game with DLC releases every 2-3 weeks. In Japan, that is. Here, Square Enix plans to _______ (they haven’t said anything).

Giant Love Plus girls offer presents in front of a 7-Eleven in Akihabara. This launch event allowed users of the Love Plus smartphone app or the 3DS Love Plus Tools game to see a gigantic AR version of their favorite girl.
In honor of the new game, Love Plus also invaded other worlds — like the PSP game Frontier Gate. Players can download Love Plus-themed costume DLC now.

New Love Plus AR cards. You may not be able to play the upcoming 3DS game, but you can totally download PDFs of its augmented reality cards, for use in both the game and the Love Plus Tools app.
Want to augment your reality in other ways? You can pay ¥315 a month to have Konami send you “girlfriend emails,” in the style of your chosen girl, using the nickname you have been given in the game. So that means there’s someone at Konami right now pretending to be like 2 million dudes’ girlfriends.

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:

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.

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!”

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!
