● Famitsu leak: Senran Kagura 2 Shinku (Deep Crimson) is coming on 7 August and will be priced at ¥6,998. Developed by Tamsoft it will be a full sequel with sidescrolling gameplay, 3D field bosses, co-op and tag-team multiplayer modes, and a playable male character. Thank you to all that translated the Famitsu text.

● The Nintendo New Year Sale is back on with seven eShop games discounted by 30% each. For the full list of games go to http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/eshop/newyearsale/index.html

● Pokémon Bank redistribution hasn’t been rescheduled yet however. I’m guessing Nintendo are trialling the New Year Sale before announcing a rescheduled date.

● Two new monsters for Bravely Default -For the Sequel- with Leviathan (today) and Lucifer (10 January).

● Sega have added a comic strip for their JRPG Hero Bank at http://herobank.sega.jp/ or here and here.

● Expect Toshinden City: Girls Gift RPG (Toushin Toshi II) and Sonipro (Super Sonico in Production) news in tomorrow’s update. Hopefully a date for the latter.

● A correction to the Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life tidbit yesterday. Visitors to the Disney Store will receive the Sorcerer Mickey hat from Fantasia from 11 January until 11 February. Somehow I don’t expect to receive a hat when I take my LL to Disney Store Covent Garden this weekend!

● 72 more hours until Kirby Triple Deluxe! Zelda still #1 on the eShop with Charisou 2 at #2 and Pazudora at #3. And thanks for following!
