● Another no news day due to the holidays. I probably won’t do a weekly update this week due to the only announcement being the Hazumi localisation.

● Speaking of Hazumi, I’ve updated the Release Schedule for 2015 at http://www.japanese3ds.com/schedule with this, The Legend of Dark Witch 2 and Dragon Quest X Version 3.

● Kuma Tomo spent New Years playing with Sheep (pictured here). It’s crazy we haven’t heard of a Kuma Tomo sequel since the original is over 130K+.

● I’ve heard of a ghost train but check out this Yokai Train here.

● The second Arc System Works sale is now live until 14 January with: Gacha Racing at ¥600, Game Zanmai at ¥250, Art of Balance Touch! at ¥250, ARC STYLE: Three Kingdoms Pinball at ¥350, ARC STYLE: Simple Mahjong 3D at ¥250, Hanafuda 3D at ¥250, Othello 3D at ¥250, Taka Gari Oh/Falconry King at ¥350, Okiraku Millionaire 3D at ¥100 and Maido Hebo Shogi at ¥100.

● And whilst I’m discussing sales: Harvest Moon: A New Beginning, D3 Publisher and Teyon will end next Wednesday and the Capcom sale the Wednesday after. Remember these end at 09:59 Japanese time so significantly before in the West. Oh, and the Mechanic Arms sale begins on the 7th (Steel Empire and Maison de Maou).
